Vet Visit

I went to the vet with Draco yesterday to learn how to give Draco his insulin shot.

He weighed 7 pounds 14 ounces. Draco used to weigh over 12 pounds! He is so skinny, I can feel his spine.

I woke up this morning, tested his blood glucose (406) and then fed him. I then gave him his first insulin shot. I'm not too sure I did it right??? I will do it tonight after dinner time so hopefully I do it better then.

My vet says normal glucose is 70-120.

Giving the shot was easy (if I did it right). Testing his blood glucose is harder because I have to get blood from his ear!

Here is a video of how to test blood sugar in a cat:
