Did you know that cats like the American Wirehair have been known to develop feline diabetes? If your cat has been diagnosed with diabetes then you may have to take him in for routine checkups or routine blood sugar level checks. Monitoring your American Wirehair’s blood sugar may be split between you and your vet. Routine monitoring is required as your American Wirehair’s blood sugar levels may change over time and require an increase or even a decrease in medications. If your American Wirehair starts to show increased appetite, increased thirst, increased urination, and weight loss, call your vet. It’s important to always report to your vet as changes in your wirehair’s condition could occur suddenly and require immediate treatment. If your American Wirehair needs regular testing on a daily basis, ask your veterinarians Marietta GA if a home glucose or sugar testing kit would be suitable.
