Arrival Story:
I fostered Latifah from March 17, 2006 to October 20, 2006 to transition her to a low-carbohydrate diet and regulate her diabetes. I grew so enamoured with her, I adopted her on October 21, 2006.
Latifah has pancreatitis, stomatitis, and an intestinal disorder. However, she does well on a proper diet - primarily homemade raw food based on the recipes at CatInfo.org and CatNutrition.org. She does well on Dr. Hodgkins' treatment protocol for feline diabetes, and has gone long periods of time without needing insulin!
Latifah showed symptoms of hyper-thyroidism, so I took her to a specialty center for a special scan. The scan confirmed the hyper-thyroidism, although her T4 blood levels were normal. She had radioactive iodine treatment and the hyper-thyroidism resolved quickly.
Her stomatitis (mouth inflammation) is still problematic, but we are trying a new medication that seems to be helping.
Bio:
Latifah is very frightened of the other cats. (She'll wet herself if they run up to her, even if they just want to play.) So, she has her own private room.
