Feeling Sad

Our kitty, Angel, who is 8 1/2 years old was just diagnosed with diabetes.  His blood sugar was 530 in the office and it should be between 65-135.  He is also down to 14 lbs.  The last time we weighed him he was well over 20.  The vet said she could feel all the bones in his spine.  For treatment we can give him insulin injections that will be at least $50 per month plus a special diabetic formula cat food that is $25 per 6 lb bag.  I just spent $200 at the vet to find this out and get his rabies vaccination and now Lennon is in bed crying because he fell asleep on the way home from the vet and it screwed up his nap routine.  Plus, it's yucky and gloomy and rainy and freezing outside.  Send smiles my direction.
