Thank you. We just can't put him through anymore, especially if he has a blood condition.
We have decided to send Smokey ahead. He is suffering and we just cannot stand seeing him suffer. Even if the DKA is treated, he likely has something...
The main concern is the fact his red blood cells are destroying themselves.
Red blood cell count. Bet thinks there's something else going on that's causing them to destroy themselves at a fast rate.
Have there been kitties who were sent home and got DKA right back? We really don't want to make The Decision if this can be treated...
Update: he's back in DKA, and his blood cell count dropped to 14. We don't know what to do... How could he go back into DKA so quickly? The doctor...
Oops, forgot to clarify: he's still at the vet!
Update: I just talked to the doctor myself, and she said as soon as she got off the phone with my mom, Smokey started gobbling his food and wandering...
Update: he's not doing too great. He ain't eat, and his red blood cell count has dropped. The doctor thought that it would pick back up once he was...
We took him. It appears to be nothing too serious. Just that his pancreas is still very angry! The doctor gave us the choice of bringing him home and...
We're gonna bring him in. His belly feels hard and he keeps loafing. I'm hoping it's just gas like it was the other day, and from his pancreatitis.
Our syringes don't let us do that. The zero is like... at a weird position.
BG is now 108. Still doesn't want to eat, but he was wiggly when checking his BG, which is more like himself. lol
We did, and they of course said to bring him into the ER.
He got his insulin at 8:40 this morning at the vet's. I'm not sure how to measure a quarter unit, despite reading everything on here about dosing.
I got a +3 post shot BG from the hospital. It was 294. He ate very well this morning.
They are Maropitant/Cerenia.
He had Cerenia at noon, and we have some tablets that the vet gave us. He was in his pumpkin since we got home.
Will do. And yes, he seems interested, but then turns his head away. He had Cerenia at noon today.
We have never given him the HC food before. He doesn't even want his treats or his FF. BG is now at 86.
