We are going backwards....

Snickers isnt feeling well again.  His appetite is very poor.  I am having a hard time getting him to eat before his insulin.  I think it is time to get that ultrasound and have that mass checked out.  My vet had said at one point that this could happen, i just didnt want to believe it could.  I was so hoping we would just continue to get better.  He is still urinating fine so that is okay but he just isnt right.  I dont really know what else to say, i just know how i feel and it isnt good.  I am extremely scared right now.  Say some prayers for my boy, he needs it~~sara

He is holding his own right now.  Ultrasound is next week.  Tonight he has been mad at me, thinks he lives on skid row or something!  Not sure what his deal is but to see his attitude is rather amusing to me!  He looked pretty good today, was up more and bathing.  Shots are going real smooth now, i could do them in my sleep i think.  He sits there so nice and that makes a big difference.  I still hate it by the way!!!  lol  Anyways today was a good day and for that i am grateful~~

I was crazy to be back, smile a few  and get support myself, but I already read 2 friends very sad posts...
Be sure, my prayers are with you all.I do know the help they mean for us all.
Hang in there, good luck!

Keeping Snickers in my prayers, Sara.  So sorry he's not responding the way we all hoped.  Let us know when his u/s is scheduled.  Try not to panic until you know what's what.

What if you tried to give him small amounts at a time?  That might help keep it down.  

Have you called the vet to let them know what's going on?  I'm worried about him getting the insulin when he's not eating/not keeping it down.  The blood sugar might be really low causing some of his symptoms.

Still praying that he pulls through this!

Prayers going out to Snickers!!  Poor thing......

I was so sad to hear that he's going backwards!  =(

The baby food was a great idea, and so was the chicken broth.  I would even try some human tuna.....whatever works.  Do what ya gotta do to get him eating.

Sara, I'm am also sending my prayers..I know how worried you must be.
Maddie is right, it is so important that you do home testing of his blood sugars to keep him feeling good and to keep him eating.....I am sending you both my ((hugs)) and prayers.♥

So sorry to hear about Snickers.  I've been watching your thread, as I also have a diabetic kitty.  It's important for him to eat after his shot.  You could try some Beechnut chicken & broth baby food, Stage 1 or 2, not sure, but it's the small jar, and there's no cornstarch in it.  It isok for Snickers being diabetic.  It does sound like the u/s is needed also.  Prayers and good thoughts for Snickers and you.  
Are you home testing to see what his bg is, as that can also affect how he's feeling.
