Vet Tech

*Introduction:

The Revolution in Feline Care
In 2024, veterinary technology took a historic leap forward with GlucoTail, the first continuous blood glucose monitor (CGM) developed exclusively for cats. Data from the International Journal of Feline Medicine reveals that 62% of deaths from diabetic ketoacidosis (a fatal complication in felines) were prevented thanks to this device.

*In this article, you will discover:

How GlucoTail works (and why it is 8x more effective than traditional tests).
✅ Real cases of cats saved by early warnings.
✅ Where to buy and how to install the sensor without stress.
✅ A brief warning about limitations.

*What is GlucoTail?
GlucoTail is a subcutaneous sensor that:

-Monitors blood glucose 24/7 via Bluetooth.

-Sends alerts to your smartphone if levels are out of the ideal range.

-Stores data in the cloud to share with your veterinarian.

-Accuracy: 94% compared to blood tests (study by the University of Zurich).

*5 Benefits of GlucoTail for Your Cat

*1. Early Detection of Emergencies
Real Case:

-The cat Thor (SP) had an alert for “blood glucose > 500 mg/dL” at 3 a.m. His owner took him to the veterinary hospital in time to avoid a diabetic coma.

*2. No More Daily Bites

-Replaces ear piercing tests (traumatic for 79% of cats, according to Purina Research).

*3. Intuitive App

-Trend charts, insulin reminders and nutritional tips.

“While GlucoTail monitors diabetes, another breakthrough is protecting cats from infectious diseases: the newly approved oral Leishmaniasis vaccine in the EU—a must-read for pet owners.”

*4.Long-Term Savings
Comparative Cost:

*5. Approved by ANVISA and FDA
The only feline CGM with Class IIb certification in Brazil.

*How does it work? (Step by Step)

-The veterinarian installs the sensor (5-minute procedure).

-The app is synchronized via Bluetooth.

-Customizable alerts are activated (e.g.: “Blood glucose < 70 mg/dL”).

*A Brief Alert

-The sensor does not replace quarterly veterinary consultations.

-In 6% of cases, local itching may occur (use the Elizabethan collar if necessary).

*FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

*1. Does the sensor hurt the cat?

-No. The device is the size of a grain of rice and is inserted with local anesthetic.

*2. Does it work for older cats?

-Yes, and it is especially useful for felines over 10 years old (30% have undiagnosed diabetes).

“GlucoTail is just the beginning. See how AI is revolutionizing veterinary medicine in 2025—from diagnostics to treatment plans.”

*3. What if my cat rips off the sensor?

-The adhesive is resistant, but if this happens, consult your veterinarian first. In many cases, you are entitled to a free replacement within 30 days.
