It's looking like one of my 13 year old ginger boys is diabetic. He's lost 2 kg in the last couple of months, drinks and wees a lot and is always crying for food. Took him to the vets this morning, nothing obvious so agreed to do bloods. She also did a quick blood glucose test which was very high so it's looking like that's the cause. We had a quick chat about diabetes management in cats, I could probably manage the injections as he's pretty compliant. But the cost of diagnosis, getting the meds right and ongoing medication fills me with dread (not to mention what we would do when we go on holiday). Unfortunately he's not insured (I insured my dogs but for some reason not the cats). I could probably cover the costs, but it would be at the expense of other things. So even though we don't have all the results yet, there's a lot to consider. Has anyone else been in a similar situation? Thanks.
