Has your American Wirehair been diagnosed with feline diabetes or diabetes mellitus (sugar diabetes)? If so, he may require routine check-ups with your vet along with a change in diet, change in environment and daily medications either orally or by injections. Monitoring your cat’s blood sugar will most likely be split between you and your vet. Routine monitoring is required as your 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 right away. It’s important to always report to your vet as changes in your cat’s condition could occur suddenly and require immediate treatment. If your wirehair needs regular testing on a daily basis, ask your veterinary clinic Plano, TX if a home glucose or sugar testing kit would be suitable for your cat.
