If you suspect your Ragdoll has diabetes then call your vet to set up a routine physical. Determining whether your cat will need insulin injections or oral medications can be a process as can finding the right type of insulin for your cat’s injections. In some cases there can be complications resulting from treatment of diabetes. For instance, if an overdose of insulin is given then a cat may develop Hypoglycemia, which is low blood sugar. This is a dangerous complication which may include signs of weakness, listlessness, lack of coordination, convulsions and even coma. The condition can be fatal if not treated. If your cat is on insulin and has these symptoms, call your vet right away. He may suggest offering your cat food immediately and then bringing her in. Always follow your vet’s instructions or check with him before administering alternative treatment. For more information click here or call your nearest veterinarians Lakewood Ranch FL.
