I agree with the other two posters. Your best bet is to either check the blood sugar, or check for sugar in the urine. It's fast, it's easy, and...
Any vet clinic that hasn't heard of Lantus, which is the gold standard for treating feline diabetes, makes me nervous! Not to mention the fact that...
It's important to remember that once she went on the Fancy Feast, the sugars dropped dramatically, so you had to reduce the insulin dose. So instead...
No one is going to be able to advise you on increasing the dose before a curve is done. You've been at this for less than a week and it's still very...
Trace protein in an unregulated diabetic who is also dehydrated does not mean kidney failure. Even if your cat were in kidney failure, low protein...
Welcome aboard! We suggest you stick with food that gets less than 10% of its calories from carbohydrates. The charts on Dr. Lisa's site are your...
If he's not feeling well for any reason that's going to negatively affect the BG level. So you may want to check and see if there's something going...
At this point it's going to have to be what you're most comfortable with. His number is rising, but he also had food and it's not rising fast, so if...
As I mentioned over on Facebook, you have a lot of wiggle room between skipping a dose and giving a full 3u. You've shot low before, although not...
The one you bought is just fine. :)
By the way, what methyl B12 are you using? What is the dosage? Zobaline is just a brand name, so it might be that you just have not been using it...
The folic acid part is not as important as the Methyl B12 for neuropathy. The one you have posted above has a very small amount of B12, and it's not...
Wait now.... Misty was only 11.8 while ON a glucose drip, a full 17 hours after her last insulin shot?? And they gave her 2u of insulin and THEN took...
I would definitely advise not giving any insulin tonight, that's for sure. Reassess tomorrow. Once we get those numbers up a little bit. Rowena, can...
Yeah, not happy about the vets' approach to this so far. At least this is nadir, or post-nadir this time and not at the beginning of the cycle!!
As a super quick review, Misty dropped to 1.6 at +3 on 4u the other day, and spent more than 24 hours at the ER vet on a glucose drip. Even after all...
I'm sorry Ava. I thought I typed 1.25... My bad. Another excellent reason why this is handled in a peer reviewed forum- so that people can pick up...
With those numbers, I don't think you would have any problem going up by 0.5 to 1.25 units. He's being monitored closely and those numbers do have to...
This looks awesome, Katie!! Aren't you glad you started testing? :cat:
Shirley, the warmer the ear, the easier it will bleed. What you need is a rice sock. You get a small cotton sock, like a baby's sock, and fill it...
