Peppa was deathly ill with acute pancreatitis and wasn't responding to outpatient therapy. We hospitalized her and on the 2nd morning we arrived to a biscuit-making, blanket-sucking kitty who had eaten everything and was feeling much better. She went home and has been doing great - Peppa is back to feeling peppy!

Max was a wonderful patient for BP measurement. He let Jon & Dr. Susan get readings without any fuss. Bonus that his BP was normal!

Biscuits LOVES food puzzles b/c they stimulate his mind and require physical activity (like hunting in nature). Check out http://foodpuzzlesforcats.com/ for puzzles you can make or purchase (remember to start easy and build up!)
This is one of our precious patients, Papi. See his odd walking? This is called (peripheral) diabetic neuropathy. It can affect the nerves, especially in the limbs (often the rear limbs; sometimes the front limbs). They sometimes are wobbly/weak, and they often walk down on their "ankles" and "wrists" instead of up on their toes (bonus for you Logophiles out there...this is called "plantigrade" and "palmigrade" stance in cats). Sometimes it just manifests as they "don't jump well." In humans with diabetic neuropathy, they sometimes say they can't feel their feet or their feet are tingly/burn. We try to minimize this by regulating the diabetes to the best of our ability (and the neuropathy sometimes completely resolves) and/or managing it with various treatments. The tubing you see on his front right was an IV catheter for some treatment (his blood sugar actually got too low). We hope to get his diabetes well regulated very soon and get him to feeling 100%. If you see unusual walking in your kitty, please get him checked out so we can help him asap!
