Surfacing for Cat News

The Reverend Selena will not be having surgery today to remove the abscessed tooth. They did her blood work, and her blood sugar was twice what it should be. The Reverend is apparently diabetic, and they will need to start her on insulin and stabilize her blood sugar before they can operate on her tooth. She will be staying overnight at Hopkins Pet Hospital for observation.

The one good thing about cat diabetes is that it can go away in cats. My parents cat had diabetes. They put her on a diet and gave her insulin. As soon as her weight went down some, her diabetes went away.

She's been losing weight, so we might have to get her back up a couple of pounds. Tomorrow we will pick her up and learn about her changing diet needs and giving her insulin shots.
