Poor Nermal!  We had to arrange to go to the Vet this week.  I was getting quite concerned as to the fact she’s been losing a lot of weight lately, drinking more and eating more, but still loosing weight.  Oh dear, I thought to myself (being the Nurse’s Aide) I am.  The poor thing is showing signs of diabeties.  And yes, after what seemed a torturous time for her at the Vet.  Being poked and proded, and the meowing, screaming, scratching.  The Vet said she has diabeties.

Yesterday I had to learn how to give a needle of insulin to the poor thing.  The tip of the syringe is so fine I don’t know if I’m doing it right.  Tempted to hide her dosage with moist food as when the needle goes in, poor Nermal yelps.

I hope eventually she will get used to it, and will just be another part of our routine.  Had to change her food to something else.

It’s a bit expensive, but, I hate to put her down.  As she is such a nice and cuddly cat.  Loves affection and pets, purrs like crazy.
