			<description><![CDATA[ Hello,
<br>
I actually have a diabetic dog and frequent that board, but just found out about a diabetic cat that my daughter&#39;s friend is in charge of.
<br>
She runs a no kill cat shelter here. It is wonderful. and I totally support it.  However, she was telling me about a cat they have there and he is diabetic. 
He is followed by a vet but she told me they use Vetsulin.  I thought cats used a different insulin.  I know I use Novalin for my dog.. They also use the
vetsulin  needles which I... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I run a shelter in Georgia for special-needs dogs, cats and horses.  I currently have one diabetic dog and one diabetic cat in addition to another 25 or so
animals.  Today I rec&#39;d and e-mail about a shelter cat in N. Carolina who will be put to sleep because they say he has diabetes.  He&#39;s older (at least
10 y.o.) and apparently went from weighing 15 lbs. to weighing 6 lbs. in a matter of months.  To my knowledge, diabetic pets (and people) are usually
overweight.  Has anyone heard of... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I have been keeping my daughter's cat. This cat is a long haired calico manx. She seems perfectly healthy except she seems to drink a lot, she eats a lot, and she urinates in weird places but also in her litter box. She eats ZD cat food but she does not gain weight. She is about 2.5 years and weighs maybe 4 lbs (my laptop weighs more than she does) She does not act lethargic. I have a diabetic dog which of course showed all the classic symptoms and I am assuming the cat is not a diabetic but... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Hi, writing in to get some suggestions and ideas.  My cat had a check-up this week (new vet), with urine and blood testing, and the vet said that she has diabetes and has to start insulin right away.  Now, 3 years ago, when she went to the vet's, she also got the &quot;do insulin&quot; advice. I asked if I could try managing the blood sugar w/diet and she said yes.  It's been 3 years and the cat is happy as a  clam.  I am really suspicious of putting her on insulin (2 'servings' also, which... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Our cat's been on the skinny side since being diagnosed several years ago, but of late he's getting scarily thin and he seems to be pooping constantly. It's like the food just goes straight to the &quot;poop&quot; stage and doesn't stick to him. Has anyone else dealt with this? Is this a secondary illness or related to the diabetes?
