This handsome middle-aged gentleman, who is both charming and sociable, was surrendered to Clowder 9 Ranch in March 2024. In October 2023, he received the diagnosis of diabetes mellitus (DM), which is a serious condition that can require considerable ongoing care. Due to the extensive costs associated with his treatment, including regular insulin injections and quarterly veterinary visits, his former owner realized that these substantial needs were beyond what she could manage within her time and financial budget. Consequently, she sought assistance in finding Bandit a sanctuary that would be capable of addressing his specific diabetic requirements. When this special Snowshoe Siamese arrived at Clowder 9 Ranch, he was already on insulin therapy and was responding well to the treatment. Cats with DM typically benefit from high-protein, controlled diets, so we gradually transitioned him to a high-protein food regimen to better meet his needs. For several months, his diabetes management was well controlled. However, as time progressed, we observed that he was losing weight despite being ravenous, increasing his water intake, and urinating more frequently with a higher volume. Additionally, his coat and skin began to appear dull and matted, which were concerning signs. To address these issues, we took him in for a blood glucose curve (BGC) test, and our findings indicated that his glucose levels had started to rise again. In response, we have adjusted his insulin dosage and initiated a transition to a starch-free food, specifically Wysong Epigen 90. To enhance our monitoring of his blood glucose levels, we will begin performing in-house readings every few days to ensure that we are on the right track and can make necessary adjustments to his insulin dosage. Managing diabetes mellitus in cats can indeed be tricky, but with awareness of the signs to watch for and a dedicated veterinary team supporting his care, diabetic cats like Bandit can lead fulfilling and long lives.
