As I mentioned in a previous post, we are dealing with a diabetic cat. It's not going all that well. We've just started week two of insulin injections...and he's stopped eating completely. We can't give him insulin on an empty stomach - so we can't give him insulin. He's going downhill quickly. He's under the bed and not coming out.

I think he's 'helping us' make the decision that we really were trying not to make. We wanted to do everything we possibly could to improve his health - but it seems likely at this point that he has another primary condition that is likely causing the diabetes. Probably a tumor of some kind. And we've already decided we're not spending the money to look into that - we won't spend money to diagnose something we have no intention of treating. We're the family who spent $5,000 on our dog - but we can't do that anymore. We just can't.

I feel sad - but I know where my 'head' is leading my heart. He is not well. He does not feel well. The insulin isn't doing enough and he won't eat so we can give it to him.

We will see how it goes over the long weekend.
