Thank you everyone. Noella passed away yesterday afternoon. She was alert for the better part of a full day before she passed, so we got to make some...
We took her to the vet immediately after we got a 29. We're laying down with her right now. It doesn't look like she's going to make it, so we're...
I worry that she's going dangerously low right now and I don't know what to do. I have been giving her corn syrup and some of her food to get it back...
Finally found some ketone test strips at Wal-mart today... Put some gravel into her litter box and I'm going to try to get her to go in that. I was...
Absolutely, I'll do anything if it makes it easier to sort this out – I will make some time to figure this out tomorrow!
Only three minutes. The one before the 82 was 112 and it had been going up, so I thought to retake it to be sure, and that's when it came out as 116...
I tested her a little while ago and it came in at 82, but I took it a little close to the edge of the ear, so I re-tested two more times immediately...
She took to the food with some hot water added, and some Parmesan sprinkled on top, probably ate a couple of tablespoons of it. Good trick. Now she's...
Thanks for the quick input. Just re-tested her and she's down to 60 now, so I'm going to try to feed her some of her food and see if she'll eat it if...
Just gave her a little corn syrup to help her get her blood sugar back up – When I checked it just a minute ago, it had dropped to 82 just from the...
Went to our local midtown Atlanta Target to try to find those strips, and they didn't have them in stock, which happens to me all the time for...
What causes DKA? Do you happen to have a link that explains it in plain english? I don't have the capacity to process anything in detail right now......
If she's hesitant to walk because she's kind of wobbly, do you have any suggestions? Would it be okay to just put her in the litter box with the...
I eyeballed a little under 0.5 units with our U-40 syringes and gave that to her about half an hour ago. Will be keeping an eye on her. Our vet has...
I just tested her about an hour ago and she was at 289. Just tested again after I fed her and she wasn't interested in her food, and she's at 389 -...
Noella is alert, happy, still as responsive as ever when we pet her, and she's eating her dinner very well. Her blood sugar is still relatively high...
Thanks everyone. Most of my stress is coming from worrying that I won't be able to figure out enough and do enough, fast enough to be helpful. I will...
Sue, what are some of the other ways? Since she's having trouble standing it's tough for me to know when she's going to go.
Thanks for the welcome Larry! I've edited that first post just to make it clear that I made that post in the other forum. :)
Noella is on 1 unit of ProZinc, once per day. After we brought her home from the vet/boarding 2 weeks ago she was a little wobbly, but still...
