Pet Pain Relief Aids Diabetic Feline in Getting Off Hook on Daily Insulin Injections

Poor Brutus! I always want to cry whenever I think back of our then six-year-old cat’s life. Weighing about 20 pounds, Dr. Frick told us 8 to 9 pounds was too many. Animal Pain Relief
Two years prior, our vet where we used to live diagnosed Brutus with diabetes, and we had been giving him 6 units of insulin two times each day. Our old vet told us to feed Brutus with special dry food for diabetic cats.
A friend told me that her sister-in-law had taken her dog to a fabulous veterinarian and was pleased with the results. That veterinarian turned out to be Dr. Ava Frick, and we are so glad that we found out about her clinic.
Brutus had flaky dandruff coming off and his fur was deadening when we took him to Dr. Frick forthe first time. He used to take in excessive amount of water and urinate 10-12 times daily. He appeared to be hungry most of the time and beg for food like a dog. His personality altered to a grouchy character and did not want to stay longer with the family anymore.
In a week’s time when we brought Brutus to Dr. Frick’s clinic, she ran some tests on him and explained to us the serious concerns regarding his blood sugar levels, which were found to be like a rollercoaster. They were like a rollercoaster.
Dr. Frick performed an experiment on Brutus by taking him off the insulin for a short while and reintroduced it. She changed his diet to a canned, low-carb food, and began a routine of 2 units of insulin every 12 hours.
His blood sugar levels returned to normal in just a period of two days. In addition, his excessive thirst and urination ceased.
Now, nearly a year later, Brutus has changed so much. He has lost almost five pounds, the normal luster of his coat has returned, and he only goes to his litter box three or four times daily. Begging for food is a thing of the past, and his crankiness has been replaced with his old, loving personality. Pet Underwater Treadmill
