We were told to give it every 6 hours as an antidote to the mirtazapine. We are doing that, but Kiwi is very listless today.
@Larry and Kitties what should we do????
Our cat, Kiwi, has been having a flare-up of pancreatitis this week. On Wednesday night we gave him 1/8 of a 15 mg pill of mirtazapine as an appetite...
Yes, his name is Kiwi! I liked kiwi fruit and his eyes are greenish. ;) Kiwi usually goes every day, but I find that a pancreatitis flare-up causes...
Is there any correlation between a flare-up of pancreatitis and constipation? The two seem to go together for Kiwi. Also, how often should he be...
I've never heard of cabergoline, but I will look into it. Thank you.
Thank you both very much @Wendy&Neko and @JeffJ . SRT is out of our budget, unfortunately. The plan is to continue upping the Lantus right now, but...
Well, Kiwi was diagnosed with acromegaly today. His results were over 300 (test done at MSU). He is currently at 14 units of Lantus with readings in...
@Larry and Kitties - Turns out our vet uses MSU and just marks things up. Oh well!
@Larry and Kitties - Our vet said that the acromegaly test is almost $200. Why is it showing $58 at MSU? Could our vet ship the samples to this lab?...
I spoke with our vet today, who called an internal medicine vet for a consultation. Being that Kiwi is at 10 units of Lantus and has not had any...
So you can see the curve in our signature, but here's the short of it: why on Earth are we getting such high readings? Since diagnosis in October,...
So we've updated his spreadsheet in our profile. Sorry for the lack of data, it's what I could retrieve. Needed to give him Cerenia this morning,...
Trying to ween him off of it. He probably only consumes 1/4 cup of it now per day. It's hard because of his back story. He has major anxiety relating...
Another issue with Kiwi is his eating habits. He typically doesn't eat meals all at once, and has a tendency to graze. We have a lot of spot checks...
Yes we do. We didn't have testing supplies prior to his first curve by the vet. The December 4th curve was a pre-shot reading. We are doing a curve...
So I read in the sticky to not roll the insulin in a vial? Can someone confirm this? Thanks!
Yes it is. Just created the spreadsheet today. That's the only curve I had saved data for, it seems. Doing another one today. So far, not good....
Good idea with the ketone strips. At initial diagnosis in October, he had a value of 1 in the vets office. Was sent home without hospitalization and...
Kiwi started at 1 unit, twice daily in October. His increases were all at 1 unit increments. We went at least 7 days before any raises in insulin...
