Apposite Nutrition Helps in Relieving Diabetic Cat from Daily Insulin Injections
{ Poor Brutus!} When I think back to what life was like for our then-six-year-old cat, I just want to cry. Dr. Frick told us that weighing 20 pounds was 8 to 9 pounds over the normal. Animal Joint Pain
Two years ago, our previous vet diagnosed Brutus of having diabetes and started treating him with 6 units of insulin two times a day. Our previous vet advised us to feed Brutus with special dry food for diabetic cats.
Then my friend told me me that her sister-in-law took her dog to a credible veterinarian and was impressed with the outcome. Discovering Dr. Ava Frick’s clinic was a blessing to us.
Brutus had flaky dandruff coming off and his fur was deadening when we took him to Dr. Frick forthe first time. He used to take in unreasonable amount of water and urinate 10-12 times daily. He appeared to be starving most of the time and beg for food like a dog. He was also very cranky and never wanted to be around the family any longer
We checked Brutus into Dr. Frick’s clinic for about a week while she rank tests and, as she explained to us, the were some serious concerns with his blood sugar levels. They were like a rollercoaster. Animal Pain Relief
Dr. Frick performed an experiment on Brutus by taking him off the insulin for a short while and reintroduced it. She revolutionized his diet to a canned, low-carb food, and started on a routine of 2 units of insulin every 12 hours.
In just a period of two days, his blood sugar levels returned to normal. Furthermore, his overweening thirst and urination ended.
We closely monitor and test Brutus’ blood glucose levels at home 2 to 3 times everyday until Dr. Frick advised that it is time to take Brutus off from insulin after about three months on his new diet and dosage of insulin. He was able to discard almost five pounds, regained his normal luster of his coat, goes to his litter box three or four times everyday. Begging for food is a thing of the past, and his crankiness has been replaced with his old, loving personality. Animal Chiropractic
