Taz is still having some ups and downs with his blood sugar, though the symptoms that led to our concerns early last week—just before we left on our trip—seem to have cleared up at last report. Still, once we get ourselves and him home there will need to be twice-daily insulin shots. Meowch.

Chris’ Mom says the blood sugar flux is similar to what her Fred went through before they finally got him stabilized. And if I remember correctly Fred has been getting by on the special food for diabetic cats, and hasn’t been needing insulin shots since.

I wonder what the statistics are on this condition—both Fred and Taz are neutered males of respectable size though I believe Taz is some years the elder.
