We spent close to $3000 on the gray cat in my signature. She had luxating patella's on both her back legs. They regrooved them. She was about 4 at the time and had no other health problems so we had the surgery. This same cat now has allergies/asthma and get steroid shots 3-4 times a year and to add to the equation 2 months ago was diagnosed at diabetic. She's on a special diet now and it seems to be controlling the diabetes. If she has to go to shots we'll re-evaluate things, we'll probably end up doing them if we need to but she's close to 13 now.
We had a diabetic dog. It really wasn't hard doing the daily shots. What was hard was the countless return trips to the vet every time he started peeing all over the house, indicating he needed his dose adjusted. But seriously, don't let the idea of giving the shots scare you. I hope you're able to get it under control and have some more quality time together.
