Would a bodysuit prevent grooming it off while still allowing you to check it?

Props to you, I’ve done round the clock care and subdermal fluids/injection but not diabetes

    The grooming isn't so much the problem as them plonking the new one right on the nape where we make the bloody tent to inject.

    She loves wearing shirts, so if grooming becomes a thing we'll just put her collection of sleeveless tees on.

    I know :( If it helps at all I was varying the injection sites to spread the punctures, so would sometimes do it a little bit to the sides or lower down and it worked.

    The other place or feline diabetes forums would be able to give more useful info

    Edit: Ok it’s actually good to rotate injection sites and there are other ones than the scruff. If this saves you spending another $200 🀞 https://catbloomhaven.com/cat-insulin-injections/#step-3-choose--rotate-cat-insulin-injection-sites
