My cat drinks/pees a lot. Can I test for diabetes at home? Vet help?

Question

I think my cat may have diabetes. She urinates frequently and drinks a lot of water. Is there a way to test her at home? I don't have the money now to take her to the vet hospital. C. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 20 lbs

Unfortunately no, there is no way to test this at home, Zoey has to see a vet. If paying for a vet is an issue, you can see if your vet accepts payment plans, if there is a low cost clinic in your area, or you can apply for Care Credit online. There is also an organization called Red Rover that give grants for treatment of sick animals, and you can see if you qualify for one of their grants. Best Friends also has a list of resources that offer financial assistance on their website. http://www.humanesociety.org/animals/resources/tips/trouble_affording_pet.html?credit=web_id91754962 https://www.redrover.org https://www.carecredit.com http://bestfriends.org/resources/financial-aid-pets http://lessonsfromaparalyzeddog.com/when-pet-owners-cant-afford-veterinary-bills/ http://www.dogheirs.com/resources-affordable-veterinary-care/ Check these resources to see if one can help you, and please call a vet in the morning to make her an appointment. Best of luck.
