Well, it's official. Squeaker has diabetes. Apparently, the combination of
previous insulinoma surgery and prolonged steroid therapy (pediapred) has
shut down her pancreas. She is drinking and peeing up a storm, and she is
spilling both sugar and ketones in her urine. A better glucose was taken
this afternoon, an hour after she ate, and has confirmed -- her glucose was
453!!!
Insulin is the only alternative now, and the vet tells us that her glucose
will be very hard to regulate. We'll have to give injections twice a day
and take her in every week for blood tests.
I would greatly appreciate hearing from anyone else who has dealt with this.
Diabetes is very rare in ferts, I know, but I figure this is the place to
find anyone else who may've had this problem.
