Shamu kitty

This is Shamu one of our cats and we just found out he is diabetic. Now we have one cat with hyperthyroidism and one who has diabetes. Let the vet bills roll in! Don't get me wrong, I love both of my cats very much but the cost to take care of them when they are sick is huge! I'm praying right now that we can control the diabetes soon without running a lot of blood tests like we had to with Gwen. The insulin alone is costly and even the special food he needs to be on is costly. Please pray that Shamu gets well soon. The vet says it's possible that he could get better and I wouldn't have to give him insulin shots everyday. But I don't see that happening, I have a feeling I'll be giving insulin shots for the rest of Shamu's life. Poor Shamu.

I'm sorry. I remember one of our cats got Diabetes and Mom always had to give her shots. It wasn't very fun and she later died from it. No fun :(

Poor Shamu! :-( Hope he gets better and doesn't need insulin.
