Episode 3: The Nifflers(TM) of Disease

In this episode, Lauren and JJ work through a case involving a
kitty that was too sweet for its own good. After taking some bets
on what would be causing the symptoms, they reach a diagnosis of
diabetes mellitus. The episode features a deep dive into management
of feline diabetes mellitus, including medication, diet, and
monitoring. Sources for this episode include: 1. Rand, J. 2017.
