If your Somali cat has been diagnosed with feline diabetes, make sure you talk with your vet about treatment plans including possible insulin injections. If insulin injections are needed, schedule a time with your vet so that he can show you how to give the injections to your cat. Here are a few tips and reminders for the process: First, never administer the shot if there is an air bubble in the syringe. Release the insulin back in the bottle and try again. If you inject your cat on the right side in the morning, alternate and inject her left side at night. Always reward your cat with a treat or a gentle stroke of the fur to ensure her that she is OK and doing a good job. Try not to become stressed as it will affect your cat’s reaction to the procedure as well. For more ideas, call your vets Plano, TX.
