Pet Arthritis Aids Diabetic Feline in Getting Off Hook on Daily Insulin Injections
Poor Brutus! I always want to cry whenever I think back of our then six-year-old cat’s life. Weighing about 20 pounds, Dr. Frick told us 8 to 9 pounds was too many. Animal Pain Relief
Two years prior, our vet where we used to live diagnosed Brutus with diabetes, and we had been giving him 6 units of insulin two times each day. Our previous vet advised us to feed Brutus with special dry food for diabetic cats.
Then my friend told me me that her sister-in-law took her dog to a credible veterinarian and was impressed with the outcome. Discovering Dr. Ava Frick’s clinic was a blessing to us.
Brutus had flaky dandruff coming off and his fur was deadening when we took him to Dr. Frick forthe first time. He drank an excessive amount of water each day, and urinated 10-12 times daily. He appeared to be hungry most of the time and beg for food like a dog. He was also very cranky and never wanted to be around the family any longer
In a week’s time when we brought Brutus to Dr. Frick’s clinic, she ran some tests on him and explained to us the serious concerns regarding his blood sugar levels, which were found to be like a rollercoaster. They keep on fluctuating.
Dr. Frick performed an experiment on Brutus by taking him off the insulin for a short while and reintroduced it. She changed his diet to a canned, low-carb food, and began a routine of 2 units of insulin every 12 hours.
His blood sugar levels returned to normal in just a period of two days. In addition, his excessive thirst and urination ceased.
Brutus has improved so much a year later. He got rid of almost five pounds, recovered his normal luster of his coat, goes to his litter box three or four times everyday. Pleading for food is now in the past and his grouchy personality reverted to his once old and loving character. Pet Arthritis
