[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 745020, member: 15032"] Hi My first dog, a Yorkie named Max who I adored, came down with diabetes at age 9. We noticed water (pee) in the dining room near the plants (on our wood floor) and at first thought we'd over-watered the plants! The drinking too was huge. We did shots 2x per day for six months. He did not have an extreme hunger or thirst after that. Could it be kitty needs time to adjust to insulin or they need to regulate it? Sadly at six months he went blind. He was still happy. We had a very large unfenced yard so we built a fenced area off the garage for him (and our other dog) so we knew he could do his business and be safe. He never got used to doing his potty outside. We tried everything. He would come into our brand new house and potty and it got to be too much so we had to put him down. It was heartbreaking for us. It was my husband's decision because he saw me coming home from work steam cleaning carpets every day. It was too much. I have heard other people say that cats have done very well being diabetic on medications so good luck and I hope that kitty does better! [/QUOTE]
