Default Diabetic Cat question

wrote:
I have a diabetic cat who was diagnosed last week. We have been
giving him insulin shots twice a day. His litter mate, a female
(both are 8 years old) has been hissing and growling at him since we
returned from the vets. They both went to the vets for their regular
checkups, so its not like he came home from the vets to a cat that
hadn't gone. My question is, can the insulin make a cat "smell"
different, that would cause the hissing/growling? My vet had never
heard of anything like this. I would love for this to stop as they
have always been very affectionate toward each other. The only time
they ever did this is when one went to the vets and the other stayed
home.


Must be smell. I have heard of chemicals made by a diabertic system, such as
acetone, but I am not a medical person, so I donlt remember where I learned
of this. You'd think the vet would know. Check out your search engine.....
