Went back to the vet today to do one more urinalysis and some x-rays just to be positive that we didn't miss anything in diagnosing her. Her blood sugar was high, so they're going to test the cat equivalent of an A1C to see if it was a fluke or if her blood sugar has been high for a while. It didn't come back high on her last urinalysis, which was done in September.
Basically, this means she might be diabetic. Which irrationally pisses me off because, Jesus H. Christ my cat needs a BREAK.
We should get the test results back tomorrow. Blah.
Snow!

Re: As if Penny didn't have enough problems...
She has interstitial cystitis, so while diabetes can cause urinary issues, that's not what's causing hers. It might be making it worse, but even if she's diabetic now, she still has interstitial cystitis. If that makes sense. She's had urinary problems for two years now, and if she is diabetic, it's recently developed. She's had numerous work ups over the past couple of years, and this is the first time her blood sugar has been high.

It least if it is diabetes and you do catch it early enough it will hopefully prevent more issues later.
