he will be needing insulin shots everyday.. and special food....
this site has been very helpful...

thanks for your concern about him.. it seems like he's going to be fine. he's a tough little guy.
when he was just a babby and I took him to get fixed they had to do a surgery on him because one of his testicles hadn't dropped. awesome.
when he was still a young lad he approached a huge tomcat in my parents neighborhood and got bit on the spine. I never knew this but evidently a cats bite can be extremely poisonous.. I guess it's the bacteria in their mouth or something. muyo had to have a tube going in him from one side and out the other so he could drain puss. that was so lovely.
muyo has lived in about 6 different houses since I got him in... 2000. he's traveled all the way to Chicago from Mississippi and back! he's survived all of his "brother" cats (Negative 73, Aging, & Cheesebag) who have all decided to go their own way with their lives.

anyway. enough with the history lesson.. I am so glad muyo is back with us, and I can't wait for us all to move into our new house (hopefully the middle of next month but it seems like the sellers are running behind schedule...... >

thanks again for being supportive.. my husband and I don't have any kids you know, so is pretty much our baby.

It is the bacteria, there's a similar effect in monitor lizards.

Muyo has had a hell of a life! Freaking diabetes is like a small step, just wait until MUYO IN SPACE.

Negative 73 and Cheesebag are amazing names.

Good to hear - are the insulin taken orally? We've been giving Toby Oral Antibiotics since his accident - I think we're going to be taking him to the vet's soon to have the wire taken out of his mouth...

Whoa. Muyo sure is a trooper. I'm glad to hear he's on the rebound.

Yikes Cat bites do suck! A kid in my elementary school had to go to the hospital for a stray cat bite when I was younger, didnt see him for a week!

SCARY

Im so glad to hear about Muyo! I had a cat named Ziggy who went through the same thing... unfortunitly he was 14 and we had to put him down, but he was a very good cat and though I miss him, I know he's ok :)

Sorry about the shots btw.... I would hate giving those Dx
