Michelangelo was a feral rescue kitten who was extremely malnourished and underweight when his mom abandoned him at eight weeks old in favor of his two bigger, healthier brothers. He had a severe coccidia infection, requiring two rounds of albon to clear it up and weighed in at only half a pound. His whiskers would also break off and fall out. After a year and a half on Lantus with him proving almost impossible to regulate, Michelangelo was switched to Levemir with spectacular results and finally achieved regulation and on a lower dose, too.
