Diabetic cat seems OK!!!!

[Chris]

This is the message Rita posted on another board… soundsl ike good news… Following is an email, I received from Dr. Lisa Pierson, DVM [EMAIL PROTECTED] kittysaver @ (aol.com)  What a wonderful world it is for cats with Dr. Pierson in it! Here is Dr. Pierson's Email regarding the Diabetic kitty that was going to be Euth yesterday:   To all:   I contacted Richard and gave him the link to my website which has a lot of very valuable information on Feline Diabetes diet and management.   I am not on several of the groups on this email list so please feel free to forward this email to those groups. (Rita...could you forward?) Hopefully, the members will find benefit in looking at my website:   http://www.catinfo.org   I just spent 30 min on the phone with him and Dodger (his cat) is going to get her diet changed and will go on insulin so euthanasia is NOT being considered.   With any luck, Dodger will end up being diet controlled and not need insulin as that does happen on occasion.  If not, then insulin will be administered.     Lisa Pierson, dvm http://www.catinfo.org Feeding Your Cat: Know the Basics of Feline Nutrition Feline Diabetes and Diet: The High Carbohydrate Culprit Quality Commercial Canned Foods Making Cat Food The Litter Box From Your Cat's Point of View Pilling Cats and Dogs - Erosive Esophagitis   Rita Cockrell Wood, Founder PurrEver Ranch Sanctuary (A Hospice For Senior Kittizens) Website:  http://www.purreverranch.org Spring Mewsletter:  http://www.gotcats.org/springmews06.html   BE A RESCUER without ever having to clean a litterbox or pick up a hairball!

I'm not sure even if the shelter he is at is a humane euth shelter, MANY of them still use gas chambers, you know. I hope he was humanely euthed by now... or rescued and given medical care, one of the two (though I think euth would be kinder).   I was hoping to get him/her on the CLS in the part where we pray for healing and comfort to those that are still with us.   I did get several people saying they emailed about him, but did not get a reply yet. I sent a note to the purrever ranch, they are the ones who first posted the message, maybe they have more contact info than was in the post.
