We don't mean to make light of this problem for a moment.
That's why in this episode, Dr. Larry and Dr. Bill talk about the special dietary needs of cats, along with the specific problem of feline diabetes mellitus. This chronic disease shows how important pet health insurance — and the details of what's covered or excluded — can be to helping us provide needed veterinary care over the lifetime of our pets.
Dr. Larry also has a post about the Dietary Management of Feline Diabetes over at the Scratchings & Sniffings blog.
