I understand that the old insulin wouldn't be very effective, if at all. I was just trying to give him some relief until the new bottle arrives.
When I talked to the vet, I had a PubMed article open that was talking about measuring ketones by the blood. The vet said it was only by urinalysis....
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. The risk of contamination is scary. I called the clinic to ask about the ketones and it took some time...
Hi All, My username is Kathy4Lewie, but this post is about Skipper who was just diagnosed. A new bottle of ProZinc won't arrive until Friday or...
Thank you, I'll check into Wuruva. The Purina having chicory root sounds good, too. I think I used a Pro Plan years ago and the cats liked it. Thanks!
1/2 teaspoon with each meal and he eats at least 5 times a day. The vet said to increase it. She also said to add in Metamucil if the pumpkin doesn't...
:woot: I looked in the cabinet and saw that I had a can of organic pumpkin so I mixed 2 heaping Tablespoons with 1 heaping Tablespoon of DM dry and...
Ah... Weruva must have more fiber in it... Fancy Feast and Nulo are his main foods. I just started giving him dry DM this week because he has lost...
I'm glad you told me about possible twitches! And that you don't have to give it all the time. Lewie just pooped (yay!) and it was really super soft...
Thank you! :bighug:
Thank you both for your replies. The vet just called and she is calling in a prescription for Cisapride. I'm a little scare to use the drug because...
Thank you! I forgot about the MAIN forum... I just posted.
Hi all, Lewie's body is very old and tired, but he's not ready to cross the bridge. I need beyond the basics advice for helping him poop. He was in...
His PM+6 was 369 so not as good as this morning. AM shot I gave 0.9. PM shot I gave 1.0. Maybe in the morning I can jump to 1.2u. On another note,...
Whew~! FINALLY a break after 4 long days of Blacks and Reds. Lewie's AM+6 is 270. :joyful: He's feeling a little better, too! :cat:
Thank you! I forgot about Chewy's. On the insulin dose, is it ever ok to give more insulin a few hours after the shot? I know that's totally...
Thanks for the dose instructions. I wish I'd given more the morning! :banghead: It looks like the Dr. Elsey's food is no longer made. It's out of...
What is a recommended meter for testing ketones? I'll buy one.
Hi All, It may be getting close to Lewie's time. Last Monday, he was constipated and had to be sedated and cleaned out. It took until Saturday for...
Thank you both PatJ and Djamila. PatJ... from one yellow kitty :cat: to another! :cat: Tonight I put Lewie on top of my stomach/chest and we watched...
