Nearly forgot it. Well, didn't forget the appointment, but did forget to ask to leave work an hour early to get there in good time. Didn't see the point of having a half day for a 6pm appointment, so was going to ask to leave a little early - except I forgot... until it was 5.20pm... ARGH! Panic panic.... rushed home, grabbed the cat, shoved her in the bag, and was at the surgery "only" 10mins late, having called to warn them of this.
Cleo is doing same as always, a lot brighter than she used to be, jumps around more, tackles those tricky "table to sofa to chair" jumps without hesitation whereas there used to be 5mins of bobbing up and down calculating angles best suited. She's been hanging round the water bowl again, which is a bit of a worry. We tend to notice her drinking more than the other two, but generally thats because she's noisier when she does it, lapping away at the water so loudly we turn to look. She does stick her chin into the bowl more than the others, as when she comes for cuddles she's often got a chin of soggy fur that she eagerly rubs against your hand. Tsk! Feeding is going well, she's got a good appetite and is even trying to snatch mouthfuls of the food from the others (we're still keeping her on the diabetic food for the moment, till we fully see how she's doing on insulin etc).
The vet then took a sample of blood, she didn't whimper or anything but wasn't looking best pleased at this, but the nurse was at hand to hold her steady just in case. Full results due in a few days, a quick check of her blood glucose level had her at 14.7 which the vet said was about twice that of a non-diabetic kitty, but he wasn't overly worried about this and said it's expected.
We'll see what he says in a couple of days when lab results are in...
