How to test urine of diabetic cat for sugar & ketones?


Son of Socrates asked:


I’ve just (finally) started giving my cat (Sheba) insulin for diabetes. I am supposed to be testing her urine for sugar and ketones (using the strips) twice a day. Any suggestions on how to get the urine sample? So far, have tried putting saran wrap over the litter, but not sure this is going to be a very practical solution.

Also, any tricks on giving the insulin shot easily and without much discomfort for the cat?

Finally, any suggestions for how to raise money to pay for my cat’s medical expenses, as this is proving a bigger financial burden (when added to everything else) than I can really afford at the moment (hopefully will change soon, with new work contract)?

Thanks

ZEPHAN
