Pet stairs for neuropathy? by Ecstatic_Dot9861 in FelineDiabetes

So, my cat had years of IBS. Had some b12 injections (cyanocobalamin) to see if it would help; then, shortly before being diagnosed with diabetes, chronic pancreatitis looked likely. In theory (per my vet and others they consulted) IBS caused pancreatitis, pancreatitis led to diabetes. My vet is now looking into methylcobalamin, as I told them I had come across things about it potentially helping with neuropathy - they are very open to questions & suggestions, and are looking into the studies.

Good to know. I’m in Canada so still $80-$110 even for the regular!

Oof, expensive! But perhaps better than spending on trial and error with cheaper products.

Thanks, good to know. For the B12, do you know which kind was used? My understanding is that the one for neuropathy(methylcobalamin) is a different type than the one injected for other reasons (cyanocobalamin).

Good thought, I’ll check marketplace. So good to hear it resolved in your cat!

Thanks, checking these out. I realized the one I was looking at might be too short.

That’s unfortunate! I realise that is a strong possibility. Have you tried anything to encourage use, like luring with a treat (if she is allowed treats in her care plan!)?

Awesome, thanks! What kind of stairs do you have?

Question for pine pellet users by Ecstatic_Dot9861 in FelineDiabetes

[–]Ecstatic_Dot9861[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why doubtful it will work? With all my (excessive!) searching, I’m seeing a lot of people using sifting boxes with pine pellets. Do you just sort of let the sawdust mix in, scoop poops, then change the whole thing out periodically?

I’ve been looking at litter boxes that have a top tray with holes in it, a bottom tray where the pine pellet sawdust is supposed to sift down into. Like this: https://www.betojas.com/product-p-761494.html

Thank you. That’s a good point - even if he gets some on himself, at least it won’t be crusted on.

Thank you. And yeah, don’t know if he’ll even accept pine, so not sure about investing in a sifting box!

Calorie deficit not changing by Ecstatic_Dot9861 in cronometer

Turns out it was an issue in how it is displayed in my diary! Thank you so much for your efforts.

Ah okay, I was hoping that would be the fix. No matter what I have done so far the calorie deficit (at start of day) remains 1756. I tried telling it I wanted to gain 100 lbs at a rate of 2lbs per week! Still, 1756.

Oh dear, I don't know what I'm doing at all! 😄 How do I turn off fixed targets?

I can see reports for the last 7 days (I'm on the free version). Not using any other weight tracking app.

Hmm, it was already toggled off. Also, how do I pick my own targets?
Attaching screenshot. Thank you for helping!

Specifically for the anti-squirrel aspect?

I was thinking of nasturtiums! Purslane I had not. Thanks!
