I’ve been away for some time since Smokey has been OTJ for 3 years. Over the last year or so he has gradually lost a lot of weight though, and more...
I believe in Okinawa it was G & I. Me too actually. He had just starting going to the same vet I went to before my Smokey went into remission and we...
You can quarantine in home as long as you stay on base, so while getting updated vaccines is important, you don’t have to worry about him not being...
It’s been a few months since I’ve been here. Smokey went into remission, then we moved and I went back to work and stopped testing. This past week I...
Dont be discouraged by your vet. You take great care of all of your cats and you have to do what you feel is best. Don’t give up!
It’s great that your home testing! My Smokey did the exact same thing to me the first day I tested. Went up continuously all day. I thought I must’ve...
Quarantine day three afternoon test at 96!!!!!! The caretakers say he eats all of his food and seems calm. He looks really good and seems to be...
Does he tolorate the poke pretty well? I was taught to put the needle in and let go. If it stays put it’s in and you can go ahead and inject....
We are officially on the move! First 24 hours in a hotel before we fly on Monday. Smokey had a stressful day. First the vet and they had to give...
My personal opinion is just the scruff is easier. Especially starting out since it’s loose and maneuverable. If you’re comfortable and kitty will...
It definitely does matter. The easiest place to use the “tent” is in the scruff where the skin is loose. There’s also less chance of hitting any...
Awesome!!! It’s so weird how much poo effects numbers. One of these days I need to start keeping track of which food I give. I keep a box of ff...
For the home testing I really recommend testing daily, multiple times per day. You just can’t see what’s really going until you do this. You’re doing...
Smokey has had a couple days that are higher than I would like. 150’s, 130’s. So I don’t think one high reading is anything to worry about. It could...
The variance is higher with higher numbers so I think you’re getting good readings both days! They’re both within the allowed variance.
I don’t think this was bad info necessarily, just not the best way. If you hit the vein it’s more painful, can cause bruising, but I think it’s said...
The way you’re doing it sounds good to me. That’s how I always did it. I’m not familiar with Lantus specifically so I can’t say if it’s a good idea...
Best description ever! Thank you for this! It’s so hard to explain and I was one of those instistant on the alphatrack too and this way of describing...
So glad to see he cane back up!! Definitely get that +3! .5 would’ve needed to be eyballed, which a lot of us have done regularly for .25 doses or...
It was recommended above keep giving the honey for anything below 40. Keep testing and giving snack and honey and post an update if you go to the vet...
