Default Sophie's insulin shots



"Robert Catt" wrote in message ...

Sophie is our dear chubby little black cat who has diabetes. Every morning
and evening I give her an insulin injection. I pick her up and put her on a
kitchen chair. Then I brush her, which she loves. Next comes the shot, which
she doesn't mind at all, probably because I inject it in her fleshy shoulder
and she doesn't feel it. Then I clean her eyes because they're sometimes
runny. It sounds like a lot of work, but she's worth it!

This is great news about Sophie. You are giving her special care.

What food does she receive? I know a vet tech who is a diabetes specialist.
She has had exceptional results by having her patients eat exclusively
grain-free canned food (usually Wellness). Most of them have had such good
results that they no longer test as diabetic and do not need insulin.
