Do you have a diabetic cat?
Are you managing them with insulin injections?
Well, in the near future, things may be changing. There is a new treatment, Senvelgo, that has been licensed overseas to treat diabetic cats. The big difference with the traditional treatment for diabetes in cats, is that you are giving the medication orally, once a day; either directly in the cat’s mouth or on their food. This will make managing these diabetic cats a lot easier for all concerned. A recent paper in the Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine compared Senvelgo to conventional insulin injections and it was found to be non-inferior.
