I agree that unmanaged thyroid is a good first step. Good luck with that. Another option is the Cardiopet proBNP test (a blood test).
1.25 units. She's still seeing some depot from the 1.5 and 1.75 units dose. If you can't monitor well tonight, you could shoot less to help drain the...
Here is the link to yesterday's post, for continuity. https://felinediabetes.com/FDMB/threads/202-11-2-shoot.288151/ Good luck with the new dose.
No need to skip tonight. :rolleyes:
Some of the normal guidelines are thrown out the window if a cat is coming home from DKA. The last thing you want to do is skip insulin. Some reading...
How much longer until he stops the pred? I completely agree with being cautious at this point.
Can you get a +10 and post that? It'll give us a clue where PMPS might be and time to strategize.
Topical steroid for the ears will impact his numbers. How much longer is he on them?
We change the dose based on the nadirs it's getting, not because of bounces. This is the third cycle of 2.75 units. If you don't see green by the...
You never shoot under 50, because then the cycle can end up like it did today. You wait until the numbers come up, or skip if they don't. There is a...
With Lantus, shooting now would put you really off schedule for tonight. With SLGS, exceptions are made if ketones are present. Make sure she eats...
Did you shoot that 34?
Yikes on the possible double shot! I'm glad you are home to monitor. You might want to put a note in the Remark that he might have gotten some extra...
I would not have increased, but you could have still given insulin - especially with trace ketones present. Yes, low batteries can cause odd...
No, next step would be an ultrasound. You could get a GI blood panel done which will show a little more detail about what is going on in the gut, but...
How is Mr. Kitty with sedation? That is not anaesthesia. Neko tended to be more spicy at her cardio vet - one time he knew she wasn't well because...
Looks like he was breaking a bounce today. That can look like an all cycle slide down. Make sure you get a before bed test tonight as a bounce...
Once daily vs twice daily for steroids doesn't make a difference. You could just double the once a day dose for less pilling.
3/7 cycles have seen blues on this dose, while 3/15 did on the previous dose.
Nice PMPS. :D
