Please Help Me Wish a Spectacular 12th Birthday to My Sweet Anakin!! 🎂🎉🎁😺🐾❤️ Wishing the most awesome birthday ever to my inspiring, independent, amazing lil man & many more! Anakin, we all love you so so much! You are such a remarkable cat! Xoxox!! * swipe to see Ani’s Birthday pics over the past 12 Years! 🎂

Anakin ❤️ He’s doing really good! Didn’t care for the catnip banana after someone else licked all over it though 😹 He said Nope! ❤️ Kazu Diabetes Update - He is doing much better! His numbers are looking a lot better on the spreadsheet. He will be doing a home glucose curve test on Wednesday the 13th. I will post an update sometime after that. Thank you again for all your advice, help, well wishes & support for Kazu ❤️❤️❤️

Kazu Diabetes Update - Thank you so much for the well wishes for Kazu! ❤️ Kazu is doing ok. Me not so much, I’ve had about six hours sleep in the past two days. He almost had a hypoglycemic incident Sunday night then went hyperglycemic in the middle of the night. I found a Facebook group for help with diabetic cats. I’ve learned a lot of info the last couple days. I have now started home testing which they highly recommended. I’m surprised that my vet did not recommend home testing to me. Kazu has been wonderful with the testing. He doesn’t mind it at all as long as he’s getting some of the pasty treats. Right now my Vet and the Admins on this fb group are giving me some conflicting information. I have a friend that is a human doctor that has dealt with diabetes a lot over the last 40 years she’s going to come over tomorrow and help answer some questions for me and help get a better handle on all of this and how it all works. I’m still going by what my vet says for his treatment. I’m just trying to learn more from my friend so I can ask my Vet better questions and things I may not have thought of. Once I get Kazu more sorted out and feel comfortable with testing him and getting his insulin doses right I will feel so much better about all of this.

Kazu has been diagnosed with Diabetes & has started treatment. He had just had bloodwork and urinalysis done the middle of December, because I felt like he was off then. Not his normal, active playing self like Romeo & Quincy. All of that bloodwork and urinalysis came back completely normal. His blood glucose was right in the middle of the range 127. The range is 72-175. So since she couldn’t find anything wrong with him, we just had to wait till he developed any more symptoms. February 16 Kazu started being treated for a UTI. I also noticed he was drinking more water. About 3 days into his UTI treatment I still didn’t think he was right so I took him for more bloodwork and another urinalysis. Thursday 22nd morning my vet called called and said Kazu has diabetes my heart sank. His blood glucose was almost 400. She wanted me to bring him in to learn how to give injections and go get him a prescription for insulin to start asap. Kazu started out getting 1 unit of insulin every 12 hours. It is the tiniest little amount of insulin not even a fourth of an inch. We are also adjusting his diet and probably everyone else’s diet to make things easier and possibly help prevent Kazu’s other two brothers from getting diabetes as well I hope since this seems to be genetic. There is a possibility that Kazu could go into remission since we caught this very early so I am hopefully. Kazu’s went to the vet yesterday morning 2/28 for 9am to have glucose curve monitoring. His numbers still stayed in the low 400s for his first 2 checks then high 300s for the second 2 checks. Kazu was on 1 unit of insulin every 12 hours, now I gave him 1.5 units last night and then starting this morning he now gets 2 units of insulin every 12 hours. He has been really good about the shots. We just distract him with some of the lickable tube treat and he doesn’t even know he’s getting an injection. Kazu goes back for his next glucose curve monitoring in two weeks unless something change. I have been reading and researching a lot online about cat diabetes. I want to be fully educated and able to care for him the best I can. Kazu does act like he feels a bit better so I will keep you posted on how he’s doing! I can’t believe that he also has diabetes just like what happened to Forrest. At least this time I knew what to watch for. It still kills me that I didn’t know what was happening to Forrest until it was too late. I will always feel like I failed Forrest because I didn’t know what was happening. Please send me all the good vibes and well wishes you can for Kazu. This has been a lot to deal with for all of us and especially Kazu. Xoxo! Carrie & Anakin

Also Anakin is doing great! I’ll post some more pics and video of him soon ❤️

Arya is still doing great with her new food and meds! She goes for a bloodwork recheck for her hypercalcemia and a couple weeks. Here is a little photo shoot, where she made a cute bleep! Post your cat’s bleep pictures! We want to see them all! 😻❤️

Thank you so much for all of the well wishes for Anakin & Arya ❤️ They are both feeling much better ❤️

January is starting out rough! Anakin had a UTI last week and had to go to the vet for an anti-inflammatory shot. He has finished his antibiotics and is feeling much better! UTIs are somewhat chronic for him though because of his missing back legs and pelvis. Arya has also been sick and to the vet 3 times last week. She also has a uti and diarrhea and is being treated for all of that. However, she has something else going on with her too, and they’ve did some special bloodwork that came back today and she has Hypercalcemia. The vet does think it is probably idiopathic and not caused by cancer or kidney disease because none of her other blood values that would indicate cancer or kidney disease were out of range. She also had X-rays that were all normal with no tumors as well. So she is on a new prescription food and will be on Prednislone to see if that helps her bring her calcium levels back into normal range. She will be rechecked in a month. She is also finishing up her UTI antibiotics tomorrow and is feeling lots better.

Pixie Update 💜 Pic from today. She still looks a little out of it but she is doing much better. She still seems pretty high and her pupils do not get much smaller in the light. She is acting like she feels a lot better and has purring and making biscuits. She’s been eating her foods and is using her litter box again. I am still keeping her in my bedroom away from everyone else. I’m keeping a close eye on her. I am not sure if she has slept? That makes 72 hours today. She does seem calmer and does rest and put her head down but her eyes stay open. If she did sleep, it would’ve been last night when I was asleep, so I don’t know if she did. When I did wake up and check on her she was awake. Thank you so much for all of your well wishes and love for Pixie! We really do appreciate it 💜💜💜

Important post about the pet pain medication Zorbium! Also Anakin is doing great. I’ve included a pic of Ani & Kazu sleeping together on my bed. Zorbium… Pixie has been sick with a bad UTI. Then on top of that she has had a horrible reaction to the pain medication they gave her. It’s a transdermal medication that went on the back of her head. It’s supposed to last for four days! It is called Zorbium. I will make sure none of my cats ever get this medication again! We are only 24 hours in. She has Peed on herself twice. She’s hallucinating, paranoid, her pupils are huge. She cannot relax and go to sleep. I don’t think she has slept since before her vet appointment yesterday. This morning she was walking like she had a stroke so we went back to the vet. They said no she is just extremely high. They gave her fluids to try and help flush this medication out of her system faster. So I currently have her set up in my bedroom with pee blankets on my bed and I’m babysitting her because she can’t really be alone yet. She has eaten some wet food with extra water in it so hopefully she will be feeling much better in the next 24 hours because 96 hours of this would be torture for her! Had I known more about this medication I would not have let them use it on her. I will keep you posted on how she’s doing ❤️
