Good news, I think

Duchess is still not diabetic!

Well, we think that's the case. My vet's office has a new machine to test fructosamine from a blood sample, and this morning the reading came out a little higher than normal for that machine but a little lower than normal for lab results. They'll send the sample along to the lab just to see what's up with that, and in the meantime, I keep acting like she's in remission.

I love that cats go into remission of diabetes. This is her second, and this time it's been months now. Yay for no needles!

(She did have TWO ingrown claws though. Right into the pads. Owie! All cleaned up now.)

Good for Duchess!

I had a kitty whose claws would get ingrown. Ow. And they grew so fast that it was hard to keep up and prevent it from recurring.

I guess some are just prone to it. And yeah, it's hard to keep up with Duchess. She doesn't scratch as much as the other two. I do trim her claws (and she's very accepting about it) but man, if I forget... owie.
