Preliminary update from the blood lab: glucose high. I don't have a number on that nor do I have an "upshot" (insulin required or not). The rest of the report will arrive Monday, including stuff like thyroid numbers.

I've already told my vet that if she's diabetic I'll want to switch to a veterinarian closer to where I live. He suggested I ask the emergency clinics for a recommendation. "They usually know," he said. "As these animals come in they know whether a vet's any good." I bet that's excellent advice.

Oh, poor kitty. Insulin shots are pretty easy, though -- very thin needles, small amounts. I really hope her case is easily controlled.

I hope so too. I'm currently very afraid of accidentally giving too much (say, because I didn't notice she didn't eat much).
