Furbaby is sick. :(

Our first cat together was in and out of the vet since this past weekend. Today the bloodwork came back and she is diabetic. Her levels are so out of control that they've got her on IV, potassium supplement, anti-nausea (she was non-stop vomiting) and probably will start insulin. We're not 100% sure she'll make it through them trying to stabilize her.

Called out of work today because it was so bad earlier. I was afraid that we were headed towards having to put her down. We have more hope than we did at 12:00pm and I am researching the dietary changes, in-home glucose monitoring and insulin injections.

Our pets are our family in this house. This girl got me through my husband's deployment, she flew over 18 hours with me when he got out of the military. She's my buddy. I'm just not ready for her to go.

    Thank you. We are still holding on to hope. She isn't doing well.

    Oh no! I'm so sorry she isn't doing well. :(

    Are there any updates? Is there a plan to bring her home at all?

    Even sadder news. She didn't make it. We miss her dearly. Our other 2 cats are extra attentive to us and I just feel that they know how sad we are and hopefully have some sort of knowledge that she is gone. They knew she was sick when she was home with us last week before she got really bad.

    I'm so sorry. I know how hard it is to lose your furbabies. I had to put my 1st kitty down about 6 years ago. I had him since I was 5. Now my 4 year old Maine coon mix was just diagnosed with Lymphoma. We are just hoping she holds on a little longer but she really isn't doing well. We have her on steroids which seems to be making her symptoms less severe. Keep your head up. Honestly, I have my first kitties ashes. It allows me to feel closer to him.
