Final update: Mimi got worse throughout the day today. She became very lethargic, her gums turned more yellow, she was breathing heavy and she was...
Mimi went downhill overnight. Yesterday she was livelier, looked more alert and took down her food/medicine without too much trouble. This morning,...
Update: Mimi's BG this morning was at 187, her gums look more pink as opposed to looking yellow the last few days. Had to force feed her still. She...
Still having to syringe feed her. The appetite stimulant hasn't worked yet; last time she was given the appetite stimulant it took about 3 days...
Its the same fluid, I just gave her 100 ml lactated ringer subQ. It was fairly easy to do, just had to keep Mimi from not moving too much.
I think the catheter slipped out the vein because the drip rate was already set at the vet this morning when they were showing me. When I connected...
She was supposed to get between 250-300 through the IV. I do have needles to do subq. Thanks for the video. I'll be calling the vet on Monday to give...
Mimi stayed at the vet over night on Thursday, so the vet put the IV in and left it in for home use. They did show me how to connect the fluids this...
I tried giving the fluids through the IV, but I think the IV isn't working, her paw was swelling up. I'm going to give it subq. The rate I was told...
Thanks for the advice. I figured she will be on fluids for more than 3 days. I will be giving her a higher carb food and trying the "soup" when she...
Just got home from the vet: Mimi got a appitate stimulant for 10 days, antibiotics and a litter of lacted ringers for three days via IV. Hopefully...
Last night she just wanted to be left alone, and she did urinate A LOT in the litter box. This morning she didn't look any better, and she was hiding...
Ok, thanks for the advice, I won't be giving her the insulin shot.
Quick question: Mimi's BG was 105, most likely because she didn't eat much during the day at the vet; the vet said they did feed her a little bit of...
We picked up Mimi from the vet already, she doesn't look any better, we'll be taking her back in the morning for a re-check and possibly another day...
Thanks for the help and support. I did post the lab results on the spreadsheets under the labs tab.
I posted the lab results for Mimi; for the blood work, there is one test pending, and for the urinalysis, its still pending as well. I went to the...
Maybe prozinc isn't working? Would switching to another insulin maybe help?
I took Mimi to the vet yesterday and they kept her overnight. I called this morning and over the phone told me she isn't doing any better. The vet...
Last ketones check was last Friday, Jan 16. I haven't been able to catch her urinate since then. I am going to take her to the vet, but her vet is...
