Meet Owen! 🐾
This sweet and loving 13-year-old Maine C**n was diagnosed with diabetes in February 2024. His human brought him to Arkle Veterinary Care after noticing he was drinking more water than usual and occasionally missing the litter box. 💧

During his visit, Dr. Rox ran full lab work — including a blood panel and urinalysis — to get to the root of his symptoms. The results confirmed that Owen had developed diabetes. He was started on Bexacat, a newer oral medication designed just for cats with diabetes.

Since then, Owen has continued to visit us regularly so we can monitor his progress and make any needed adjustments. Thanks to his amazing human and consistent follow-up care, Owen is thriving! 💙

We’re so proud of this gentle giant and all the love that goes into keeping him healthy. 😻

👉 If your cat is drinking more water than usual or having litter box changes, give us a call at Arkle Veterinary Care to schedule a checkup — early testing makes all the difference!
