I've posted a few times here and there on this board, but I'm compelled to post again because I am struggling MIGHTILY with finding the right dose of...
Ditto on what Elizabeth said above. I had a cat with CKD and used the food chart on Tanya's (the www.felinecrf.org site) to help find a food...
Yeah the really unfortunate thing is most vets will tell you not to worry about testing (even mine did at first, but now that she knows I do it, she...
My guy refuses to eat pate (he's got very discriminating tastes, unfortunately), but thankfully he will (usually) eat the FF Flaked; unfortunately,...
@Mommy2cats , my cat Zander was first DX with diabetes precisely because he was in DKA. He was very sick, very thin, and wasn't eating. I'd say he...
Thanks for the info,@Candy&Company ! I was caught unawares this changeover was happening until I hit up Walmart tonight and discovered no sign of...
Count me in as someone else here who was taken by surprise when I went into Walmart tonight to grab some test strips for the Micro, only to find the...
You should definitely be able to take him home with an e-tube once he's stabilizing and showing improvement. I've also administered fluids at home...
My mom recently had a cat who had hepatic lipidosis (aka "fatty liver"), and he had an e-tube, too. He wasn't diabetic, but I'm guessing your...
Thanks, Tracey. I have to admit every time I read on the board about cats "surfing" I keep picturing a cat on a surfboard wearing board shorts and...
Janet, I've been where you are. I know it's not easy. And sticker shock is just one part of it. First of all, yes the price of Lantus in the US is...
I received my first order (of Lantus) from Mark's Marine today and was also surprised at how fast it arrived and how well packaged it was. When I...
I think it might be worth monitoring him for awhile and checking those numbers to see how he's doing. A skipped shot can influence cycles later on...
Well, after testing a few more times he was still in the 60s. I can't wait anymore because we need to stay on schedule and now we're almost 45 min....
I'm going on just over 6 months with mine and it seems to be working spot-on. As long as it's not cloudy, looking funky, or you've shaken the...
So, I've been staying consistent with this dose of 2.75U for almost a week now, not changing it because I haven't seen a number lower than 50 (but I...
Ohmygosh! That is my dream spreadsheet right there! ;) One day it will be mine...I mean, Zander's. I hope. :D Shoot for the moon, land among...
Yes, I'm aware that consistency is key, but it always seems like something happens when I try to get a curve to find his nadir on a dose. On 4/28...
Yep, I'm armed and ready. I gave him 1U. We've been through this before so I know I can help control his BG with some HC food if necessary.
Need advice on what to shoot here soon..... Zander has been in the 80-range since at least +10. At PMPS he was still hanging in the mid-80s and I...
