maybe you should hear what the vet says, before you (and them) drive yourself crazy...

Just keep plenty of ice water out, and wait to hear the results.

Try not to worry about it, for now at least. You can't do much without knowing what's going on, and driving yourself crazy with what it could be, will not help at all.

How does he seem now?

flowers Hopefully the results are not as bad as you fear.

My cat is doing OK, he's no kitten anymore, and some days, he shows it.

He's getting better around my grandmas dog. Today, that dog is pretty blessed my cat is declawed, he slapped her in the face while they were both begging me for food. It seems they come to me more than anyone else, IDK why I never feed them any of my food, I strictly give them their own dog and cat food. I don't even give them treats. I guess they just know I love them, and figure they can con me into giving them food they shouldn't have. lol

He has to spend a day at the Vets to have a series of tests done. EXPENSIVE!!

Poor fella. :( He's not doomed, it's pretty common for cats and dogs to get diabetes, so there's plenty of treatment available, and he should be OK.

I sure hope so. He is only 8 years old, and a sweet, sweet physco dog lol
I really hate the thought of sticking needles into him every day, but the Vet assured me they aren't all that bothered by it.
My hand will be shaking like a leaf the first few times.
