Update: Crisis averted! She’s eating pretty well this morning, so I think we’re good. Thanks for the suggestions guys :)
13 extractions, she’s had a buprenorphine shot, and I’m giving her oral buprenorphine every 12 hours, along with an antibiotic (clindamycin). She’s...
Lola had to have most of her teeth removed by a new vet, as they were really really bad. She had that done today and is recovering sort of okay, but...
The problem is that all the videos use the scruff/above the shoulder blades, and I can’t use that area because of Lola’s swelling. I was hoping...
Lola’s got diffuse swelling above her shoulder blades and surrounding area which has gotten progressively worse over about a week and a half now. I...
Yeah, I’ve been thinking about this for a while. I brought it up with my vet at one point, and she advised against it... mostly because she said...
Lola’s health never ceases to confuse me. Following up on my previous thread kind of. This morning she had her AMPS bG = 9.6 mmol/L (173 mg/dL), I...
Thanks for all the information - I’ll read it over and think it all through. I do know I’ll have to do some +5/+6/+7 tests to gather data, and have...
@Deb & Wink Tagging you this morning as promised.
Sure, no problem. By the way, her PMPS bG was 9.3 mmol/L (167 mg/dL), which is a little low but should be okay with the slightly lower dose, so I’ve...
Yeah, that’s what I was hoping for... alas, if today’s nadir is any indication, it looks like 1.75 units isn’t going to work. She went back up to...
Luckily she hasn’t bounced at all - her AMPS bG was 10.5 mmol/L (189 mg/dL). I gave 1.75 units in hopes that she’ll show a more ‘normal’ PMPS...
Yes, definitely re-check both - a lot of places that don’t normally do telemedicine are doing it temporarily now during this coronavirus situation....
Done and done. 0.5 units injected. Hope you get well soon :)
Healing vines en route - hope you feel better soon! :bighug:
I can’t stay up to monitor tonight unfortunately - I’ve got another videoconference first thing in the morning. So I think it’s a question of token...
She did it again tonight - her PMPS bG = 8.1 mmol/L (146 mg/dL). So same question again - token dose, partial dose (maybe half?), or skip? I would...
She seems okay - her mood is pretty good, she’s playful and has energy, and her pre-shot sugar this morning was more normal for her too (11.1 mmol/L,...
Okay, I stalled for what turned out to be 3 hours (which I know isn’t ideal... life circumstances make me crazy), and now her bG = 8.9 mmol/L (160...
I already did, yes - I always feed first, and then I test immediately before I’m going to give insulin. Should I be doing it the other way around?
