wetware: I don't see it being a realistic option now that I've learned they are classified as livestock, but from the little I've learned they seem to be able to be trained to live in a house.

Jim Dandy: Sure seems like there are a lot of "pig sanctuaries" out there, trying to handle the ones that got much bigger than their owners expected (or were led to believe).  Don't get me wrong: I like pigs.  But I think you need to do your research first.

Tuesday: I can't watch it.

I also avoid the Animal Planet channel, because there are too many shows about abused/neglected animals (or animals in peril for other reasons), and it always breaks my heart and ruins my day.

Someone asked me, and I'm not sure - so I'll ask others. Anyone know what type of animal this is?

ScarletRose: I'm coming to terms with it, it's not a death sentence, but will require lots of discipline.One of the people from the feline diabetes messege board spent an hour on the phone with me yesterday discussing so many aspects of the situation,what a tribute to her late cat.People can be so helpful and kind in situations such as this, cuz I really didn't have a clue.I will be looking to have Molly taken off the pills and put on the insulin immediatly.I learned that the pills virtually squeeze out all the insulin they can from the pancreas,making it work extra hard.The insulin provides a break for the pancreas,giving it time to heal , regenerate and possibly allow the cat to stop taking insulin at some point.Yes Scarlet,diet will be important,we're going to go to a raw diet.I'm learning so much,and everybody has been so helpful

Jim Dandy:  Jim.. is there a way you can control it by making your own cat food? I know my one friend would feed her dog with a good diet other than prepared dog foods.. is there anything on that support site that talks about making your own.. the you can control the sugars going into the foods.. Since she has diabetes.. that would suggest they use sugar in the prepared foods..

Jim Dandy:  Nice site!  Thank you, Jim.  I hope that some of their recommended dietary changes will also prove to be a help to Molly.  2/3 of my girls have now switched from kibble, but for different reasons (crystals in their urine).

Subject: Molly is now a confirmed diabetic
I'm pretty busted up and emotional about it,she's only a kid(7)

but it is what it is,and if insulin injections are needed,so be it, right now we are going to try and regulate her with Glyburide pills,5mg twice a day.In a month her doc will see if she needs the twice daily insulin.If any of you find yourself in this situation you may feel the need for a support network,I know I do,so I just joined this messege board http://felinediabetes.com/

If you want to share,my profile name is Molly's dad

I feel I owe it to Molly to be as informed as possible

take care
