We made the decision to give Mommy freedom today. She told us, it was time. Her assisted passage was swift and peaceful. I wrote this tribute to her:...
I spot BG tested her this morning; I'm getting better at it, one prick and enough blood to get a reading. She came in at 540, which is high. She's...
Thank you all so much for your advice, support, and expertise. Of course, it's disheartening and sobering to hear. Her kidney decline came on so...
I have a potassium supplement on order. The vet charges five times what chewy.com does, but the scrip needs to be faxed in, etc. We stopped her...
My vet called today to check up on Mommy. Actually, my emergency vet called; she's the one who saved my cat in December during her diabetic crisis...
The folks at Tanya's site are all over the potassium levels, which the vet never mentioned. We were consulting with a dental specialist at the...
She's on Fancy Feast Classic Pate because that was all she would eat with her diabetes. The first shorter course of labs are from our visit...
I have her lab reports in PDF. I joined a CDK Feline group run by Helen that has an overwhelming website attached. I'll check out the Facebook group....
Hi all, I've posted here before and people have been so kind, I'm hoping for help. My beloved ex-feral Mommy went into crisis and was hospitalized...
It did not go well at all today for Mommy's follow-up. In fact, it was devastating. I'm still struggling to process it all and figure out what to do...
Took Mommy to emergency today; she just looked miserable this morning and I really started to fear her pancreatitis had returned. Turns out her BG...
Thanks so much! Four to six months per pen would be fantastic. I'd pay anything for my cat, but to be gouged by Big Pharma just pisses me off. That...
Sorry, my oops. She actually gets 2 units total a day: 1u 2x a day, or 1u every 12 hours. I'll use my regular syringes, too. So, I can refrigerate...
Oh, that's cool. I do have an extra Lantus scrip from the vet, but it's dated from 12/2017, so I don't know if Marks would still consider it valid....
Another question: The Lantus website says the pens should not be refrigerated after opened and thrown out after 28 days. Now, I know that's mostly...
THANK YOU for this! I'll get a new scrip on the 28th and order my next Lantus from there. I just had to fork out $336 at Walgreens because if Mommy's...
I did call my vet today. I tested her again this a.m. before her shot and it was 430, so she's running high. The vet seemed a bit perplexed over the...
Hi all, My cat Mommy was diagnosed in December of last year. She ended up hospitalized with pancreatitis and was severely underweight. She was...
I do approach her often at home, we've always had a loving relationship. And she was just fine with the shots until I started home BG testing. I...
Today she flattened herself against the far wall under the bed, hissing like a serpent, so despite my once-effective if traumatic pillow blockade, I...
