I knew there would be a catch. Oh well. Until there's a cure we'll just keep doing it the old-fashioned way. It is certainly better than how he was when he first got sick. They are so dependent on us.

True, but I figure a cat could get away with a smaller catheter. The real problem would be the tube. I can see even a house cat finding a way to get it caught on something within 5 minutes. Hmm .. maybe someone could come up with a small collar mounted model that could conceal the tube and protect the catheter. Any inventers out there? BTW, Erin .. even though the system is "automated", you couldn't go away for a day or 2. You still have to adjust the dosage that the pump is delivering around meal times to compensate for the rise in blood sugar. The pump doesn't know what you are eating or how much sugar is going to be in it, so you have to tell it. Of course, the last one I messed with was 3 years ago, so they may have gotten smarter since then. :) Todd ----- Todd for President Drugging up cats for a better tomorrow. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.
