Worried about Snickers

[dominosarah]

I was home last week with the flu and noticed some unusual behavior with my boy.  First off i noticed his litter box was soaked and i mean soaked.   We have had unusually warm weather and thought it was just humidity, well that isnt the case.  I cleaned his box every other day and am doing it everyday now due to the wetness.  No pipes or anything above his box.  All wood is dry.  I havent changed litter nor have i changed his food.  His appetite isnt as great as it was but he has had a HUGE increase in drinking water.  He has been laying by the waterbowl and sleeping which he does quite often now.  He is still grooming himself to a point.  He doesnt give himself the all over baths like he usually did.  Stools are good.  He is now 11.  Has had kidney issues when he was younger and eats a specialty food that has worked wonders for him.  I know he needs to be seen by the vet and i will be making the appt in the morning but i am hoping someone can shed some light on this.    Thank you~

Hi Sarah, I know I haven't been on MH much anymore but I did want to keep up with how Snickers is doing.
I'm sorry about the diabetes but am glad he's doing ok right now. I will continue to pray for Snickers and you! Love to both of you!

An obvious improvement which is great to hear!  Hope Snickers likes his new food, too!!

Well, if Snickers has the energy to be mad at you, I think it shows he does have reserves upon which he can draw.

Hoorah Snickers!!!  Hate that car kid...

His blood sugar was 420 today!!!  Started at 540!  We have already went up 1 unit or cc(whatever you call it) so will let that work for a week and recheck the blood sugar.  We also got some food for critical care kitties that smells good, tastes good and is full of nutrients.  She wanted to try this before the meds.  He is madder than he!! right now as he hates car rides!

I also am sending hugs and best wishes at the vet today.  Maybe all that's needed is an insulin adjustment!  Fingers crossed!!
