Dbigcat came from the CPL 2.5 years ago. Already had one thyroid removed. Was 9/10. After a few months became poorly and diagnosed diabetic.
Took ages to stabilise but has been improving steadily with insulin requirements slowing decreasing.
But now - 3 months ago he had a snotty cold. Antibiotics cleared it, it came back. Two weeks of antibiotics it. It came back. (I had a baby in the meantime, and a relationship breakdown,)
He's lost weight, eating well. Cold wasn't too bad, but didn't seem right. Took him.back to vets, insulin reduced again, blood tests done, all normal.
So he's got an appointment on Thursday a.m. For another glucose curve for the diabetes and a scan/xray of chest and head, to see if there's anything causing the snottiness and snory breathing.
Hes been bright and playful but seems worse today. The vet who sees him is fabulous but not there tomorrow. The other vet, I'm really not keen on. Of course I'll take him tomorrow to the other vet if need be.
I'm scared it's not going to be good news. I feel guilty as he must have thought he had a lovely retirement home then I had two babies in quick succession and feel I don't give him enough time. Just sad really.
