A short while ago I said goodbye to my precious, gentle, playful, sometimes mischievous companion, Bailey. She has been freed from any pain she may...
Thanks all. I got the information I needed to make my decision, but it wasn't good news. Basically there is one large stone that on the one hand is...
It is nice to be understood, and I do have friends who get it, including a friend who lost her cat quite recently to kidney failure. Even my doctor,...
Thanks all. It has been something like eight weeks of stress and sleep deprivation (back when she still had an appetite, she would wake me up at 4:00...
Depending on what I am told tomorrow, I may be facing a similar decision. I was at my doctor's office yesterday and explaining why I was under stress...
I load the syringe about 20 minutes before it is time, and I presume that one unit would warm to room temperature by then. A lady I know had two cats...
Thanks.
Thanks. Part of venting is that in addition to being frustrated, feeling like I am failing her, being sleep deprived, etc. is that I am worried about...
I've been doing this for eleven days now and am finding it harder. Not easier. At first I injected while Bailey was eating - then she went off her...
Thanks, this worked for me last evening and this morning and so I will make it my practise from now on. Much appreciated.
I'll try that and ask about the insulin, which is caninsulin. Now that I know that I shouldn't, I won't empty the syringe back in and I hope I...
Oh terrific. Another thing to possibly go wrong. Sigh. I didn't realize there was syringe lubricant - of course my vet dispersed the bubble easily,...
So sorry to read this. It is a tough condition, but it can be a manageable one. It is really hard to see them go through it though. Thinking of you.
I have been experiencing much the same thing. I couldn't believe Bailey even took to the wet food - over the years, even before she developed health...
Some days when I prepare the injection, I get an air bubble that just doesn't seem to want to go away. I tap the needle the way my vet showed me and...
Yes, my vet wrote 4 mg and to give her half a tablet. Sounds like I could get away with giving her less. Maybe I can hide a crumb in a tiny piece of...
I'm going to pick some of this up tomorrow (I hope). The first pharmacy I checked told me that they didn't carry this any more and indicated most...
For what it is worth - Bailey had some mouth sores before she was put on a steroid and we changed to hypoallergenic food. So I would lean towards the...
It is a "savoury" version of Purina DM food. She went "off" the pate version and seemed to like this one better - until recently. She is beautiful...
Thanks. If she continues with this, I won't get the cyproheptadine, but it is good to have the option, and good to know it works. Especially since...
