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.)

Those ingrown toenails look REALLY painful -- but she didn't seem to mind one bit when the vet tech clipped them and pulled the end out. She just sat there and purred, instead of yelping as she does if they try to clip a claw too short. So maybe those things just aren't as bad as they look. (How could that be, though? One of 'em even bled quite a bit! My poor kitty!)

I'm glad I had them do the nails. Last time I had to dig out one of Duchess' ingrown claws I got myself all worked up and nervous over it!
