Do I Have to Give My Diabetic Ocicat Insulin Shots?

If your Ocicat has been diagnosed with feline diabetes then you may be required to give her insulin injections or shots as a form of treatment. That may sound a little intimidating, but your vet can show you how to give the shots in a safe and least painful way for your cat. You can also ask your vet if an oral form of insulin is available for your cat. In some Ocicats, blood sugar can be monitored and regulated through oral pills as well as a change in diet and exercise. Glipizide is a common drug prescribed. This is not specifically designed for cats, but is considered effective. Be sure to watch for rare but occasional side effects like vomiting or loss of appetite. Always call your vet right away if your Ocicat has a reaction to any kind of medication. Ask your vet Scottsdale, AZ if this is an option for your Ocicat.
