My Ninja kitty had to have insulin, which was a bit challenging- we would wait until he was eating, then sneak up on him and give him his shot.

I wondered if this was possible. Thanks!

Thanks Alex. He lost 1/3 of his body weight in a short period of time. This did cause a slightly fatty liver, but the Dr. said his nuero response was more severe than that. But if he had fatty liver along with the bacteria infection and diabetes, I could see that really messing with his head. The question is, how much is it reversable, does he have permanent brain damage?
For now, we wait and see.
