Well-----it has been a month and counting!!!

Hip Hip Hooray!!!  It has been a month and counting since Webber's last insulin injection.  I still test on occasion to make sure he is within normal ranges.  So far so good.  His coat is getting better all the time.  I finally made the decision to switch their food to Wellness and stop feeding the Petsmart "Sophisticat" because I think it is better for them.  Wellness had no grain products, no animal by-products and the flavors I am feeding are low carb.  Plus it doesn't smell as bad as some of the other stuff.  Whew---some of those others would literally make me gag some early mornings. lol

I have also introduced the Raw diet, but Lacey and Webber are the only ones to eat it.  However, the company has had two recalls since I tried the darn things.  The first bag was given to my by my neighbor, I fed a little and they liked it.  Then I find out that there is a recall for the bag I have.  I hang onto it for a few weeks and finally go and get an exchange.  Fed a little and they liked it, two days later the company recalls that bag.  Jeez. I am going to try again....third times a charm right?

Don't spend as much time on the message board anymore.  DH said I was obsessed and I guess I was.  I try to just get on  for short periods to check on the kitties and beans that I have been following.  I also check in the Health section to see if there are any newbies that needs some help.  I remember too well how scary that diagnosis is.  You would think you had been diagnosed yourself!

I think it is time to feed the kiddos so I am off til next time.

  1. Hi Paige! So glad that Webber is still doing well without insulin. I don't get to the message board that much anymore myself. I try to check in every now and then to see which kitties are going OTJ and to see how everyone is doing, but that's about it. I know what you mean about being obsessed with the board - I know I was when Mally was on insulin. It's a great place to be when you're taking care of a diabetic kitty on insulin.

    I hope all is well with you!!!!

Tough for her. I've been using a water bottle to squirt her when she gets too close to the door. Until we can get the pet door that only...
