If all she wants is broth, you could try just feeding her broth to get food into her. Fancy Feast makes broth packets... not sure how good they are...
This page has some advice on transitioning from dry to wet food: http://www.catinfo.org/#Transitioning_Dry_Food_Addicts_to_Canned_Food_ I had to buy...
Thanks! I suspected that might be the better choice, but wanted to hear what others thought. It's easier to worry less if I know what I'm doing has...
Hi everyone, After dealing with some wild fluctuations for 3 weeks, I finally found a vet who agreed to support a change in diet from a high carb...
@Rascal1, if your kitty has some kidney deficiencies as mine does, perhaps he's not feeling well due to elevated phosphorous levels. The renal food...
@Mum of two felines, I'm fairly new too so I don't have advice. But I do have experience having a vet who is set in her ways and does not approve of...
Thanks! If her BG is < 400 mg/dL in the morning, I will feel very uncomfortable giving her morning dose, since she dove from 357 mg/dL tonight. I...
Well folks, her +4.5 reading is at 148 mg/dL, two hours after her low. She came out from hiding under the bed to cuddle on my lap... must be feeling...
Thanks for the invite to the Lantus forum, Chris and China! I'll check it out in the future. I'm still trying to figure out how to navigate the...
Sounds like a plan! Thanks for walking me through this! Callao sends a grateful slow blink your way!
97! Do you think we're ok now? Is it safe to go to bed? What's standard protocol for a situation like this? She's still eating.
Alright, just retested twice... first time read 78 mg/dL, but then I realized that I poked myself and may have been reading my blood and/or hers or...
All I have are the clear broths. I have honey in the cabinet that I planned to use for any emergencies. I also just realized that her laxatone is...
Her next reading (+2.5) was 60 mg/dL, so it's not just a wonky test strip. She's still eating and acting normal but a little sleepy. I think the...
Another update: We started this morning off at 601 mg/dL, so I gave her normal morning dose. This evening she was at 357 mg/dL so I gave her normal...
Just an update... after my original post, I waited 45 minutes and rechecked her blood. This time it read 301 mg/dL (read 251 mg/dL 45 min prior)....
Tuxedo Mom, we're using Lantus glargine. It's long acting, and we've only been giving 1 u in the evening and started another 1 u in the morning...
Hi everyone, I just did a blood glucose test on Callao before her 7:30 pm insulin shot. It is surprisingly low (for her): 251 mg/dL. You can see...
I am happy to see someone else with this question (though 4 years ago now!). My vet also instructed me to pull back on the syringe to make sure I...
Spreadsheet-ing has begun! (And is now part of our signature, as suggested.) I've also written to the vet today to ask about adding a dose in the...
