I am so sad to report he also had a mass in his abdomen and was in ketosis and is now at the Rainbow Bridge. He was VERY LOVED, and we miss him...
He's lost a lot of muscle mass. They're doing the ketones test, and I'll ask about the injection.
I went ahead and brought him to the emergency vet. Waiting to see what they say.
Most days, I could. I am supposed to be working an extra shift tomorrow, but I can on Wednesday. I gave him 1 unit of Lantus just now and I am going...
IDK, he just hasn't been doing well. I just now got his SS up to date. It was suggested down to 1 unit twice a day and we went back to his vet and...
I will update SS when I get a chance. Tiger's vet is having me try a week off insulin, because he believes Tiger is making some. But, while his blood...
Thank you both. I went down to 2, but reading this then I will go to 1 unit. I have been trying so hard to keep him away from the dry and he is...
Hi All Sugar Mommas and Daddies! Sorry for anticipated length of post. My key points I am asking for help with: 1. Blood sugar ALL over the...
My apologies if this has been discussed; I searched the forum with my limited computer skills and didn't see it. There are the continuous glucose...
I just go straight, but I am not sure if others angle.
I put a folded tissue behind the ear so I don't poke myself. SO much easier free hand than when I tried using the "pen" on a kitty's tiny ear veins....
Oh, awesome, thanks! I wasn't sure what all that meant. That's a start!
So, my Tiger is my third sugar baby. First one, Max, I didn't know about the forum and rarely tested blood sugar. Second, Tyler, I found this...
Sorry for the delayed response; I need to check my notifications better! Mostly back in the swing of things; fortunately, I have multiple rescue...
Aw, thanks! He was the sweetest "grumpy old man" cat. And, of all my cats to get diabetes, Tiger's name sounds so similar I am now randomly saying I...
Hi all, (For anyone who remembers me), I kind of disappeared after my sweet old man Tyler got very sick in Sept of 2021 and ultimately crossed the...
My Tyler has been throwing up a fair amount, and his regular vet isn't being responsive. I tried an old vet he saw, who wouldn't get him in for 10...
Thank you. I decided to wait. I may schedule him for a dental and see if they would just pull the rest of his teeth. I sometimes wonder if he has...
My geriatric sugar baby bled around one of his canine teeth this morning. He has had 3 dental cleanings with some extractions since I adopted him...
So, despite people trying to help me, I never figured out the charts most people use here, and am not sure what an "amp", etc. is. I rather suck at...
