cats health update

[labelleizzy]

Otter is diabetic. he's responding real well to the insulin 2/day, and restricted feeding (also 2/day)
tomorrow I'm doing a 12 hour glucose curve, taking blood sugar tests every 2 hours.

she's been peeing/pooping *less* in forbidden, nondesignated spaces, vet said that sometimes when kitty 1/2 is ill, and their pee/poop smells different, kitty 2/2 will go do bathroom things elsewhere because no animal likes the smells of sickness.

also we added a third litterbox and I binned the mats under the boxes which were retaining muddy corn based litter and flies were breeding in it. *squick*

so that's improving at the moment. she did poop on the bathroom floor again today but it's the first day in three days she;s done that, so ... *shrug?*

cautiously optimistic.

Oh man. Fingers crossed on all that. Pee and poop where they don't belong are among the most stressful things we as pet owners deal with... eclipsing stuff one might think is more stressful, like, oh, seizures. I hope this is a turning point.
