I just found out recently that my very dear friend, Petunia has type II diabetes. I can't tell you how upset this made me as she has been my close companion for many years now. However, after consulting with the vet, I feel pretty confident that with a strict diet and daily insulin injections, she can still live a long, happy life.
I thought I would write an on-going piece that will discuss our battle with feline diabetes, what we've done to treat it, and the effects.
So how did I determine that she had diabetes? Well, as you can see in the photo below, Petunia has always been, what I like to refer to as, "a full figured gal".
