Diabetes in a young(ish) disabled squirrel
Is anyone able to help with a diabetic squirrel? I have no access to a vet, so can't get drugs. Can I get it under control with just diet?
She is 2 1/2.
Little back leg movement from previous MBD.
Her glucose level is as high as the test strip measures - 2000.
Ketones have been normal on each test so I'm assuming type 2, but not sure. Can I find out?
We've taken all fruit from her diet and I've got familiar with the GI index.
I'm trying to increase her level of activity, but difficult as she can't bound about.
She's lost 22g in 3 days, not tested her urine for 2 days as I know it'll take a long time to get from 2000 to 1000 so test won't show a difference.
Was going to put up a video but can't see how to do it if it isn't on YouTube, which I don't do.
TIA
