Puppy & Mokey Update

Hello Everyone,

Its been a while since I posted on this blog.

I took Puppy and Mokey to see a Certified, and licensed Kitty Cat Doctor.

I and my husband have been noticing Mokey meowing louder than normal.
He would get in our bed at night to sleep at our feet like he has done since he was a kitten.
he would always give us a soft quite meow as he laid down like to say goodnight to us.
Now when he does that goodnight meow its so loud it echoes and makes our ears ring. yes its that loud. That is the reason for taking him to see the Kitty Cat Doctor.
The reason for taking Puppy is because she is chewing her hair off her tummy and back side around her tail. We don't see any bugs like fleas or mites. she is also gaining weight.

The Kitty Cat Doctor said Mokey is def he can't hear. his ears are clean nothing blocking the ear then bones and drum both look normal. He said it had to be some kind of nerve damage. there is no fluid behind the drum no sign of infection. he wants to do a scan of his brain and do an EEG brain wave test on him. that's scheduled for next week. besides being def, he is in good health.

The Kitty Cat Doctor said Puppy is way over weight he said she weighs 8.2kg the most she should weigh is 4.5kg. so he took some of her blood and urine to run tests. he came back around 15 minutes saying she has a nasty urinary tract Infection she is also dehydrated, and the worst of all she is borderline Diabetic her blood glucose was 12.0 it should never be higher than 7.8 even two hours after she has eaten, that's usually when blood glucose is at its highest.

His suggestion for Puppy is to not leave food out for her to eat any time she wants.
he said only let her eat two times per day and only feed her a total of 150g per day.
no matter how much she begs for more do not give her any more.
Only feed her wet cat food no dry.
Dry cat food is very bad for cats its high in carbohydrates because its grain based, Carbohydrates turn in to glucose, something she doesn't need.
Wet cat food has very little grain if any at all. This means wet cat food is low in Carbohydrates, that means lower blood glucose.

Then he told me Diabetes is the number one cause of death in cats worldwide more so in United States and Canada because its easier to feed dry foods.

Diabetes is also the number one cause of death in Dogs.
Cancer is also the number cause of death for dogs in South East Asia, and parts of Europe.

The Kitty Cat Doctor said Puppy's blood glucose levels should return to normal 6.1 two hours after she eats within a week.
If it doesn't, then she neds to come back to see him.
He also gave us a glucose meter. We have to test her three times a day first thing in the morning, before she eats anything; then two hours after each of her two meals.

Well that's all I have for now.
Have A Good Day
