Prayers to @Phoebes @JoyBee&Ravan for Peggy Sue @Laura and Gremlin @Krystina & Nelli and all in need
Happy Friday, thank God!!! I’m tried

 

I hope Bella surfs safely today and you can catch up on your sleep this weekend. What is the trial at the cat hospital?

 

It’s a trial going on at 20 vets in US, if he passes the bloodwork then he will be put on some medicine I put in his food, instead of insulin, I figured it can’t hurt to try it and I can pull him out anytime, not charged for anything, if I decide to pull him out of trial, at least he gets the best bloodwork they can do

That's interesting. I hope it works out for you and Bella.

 

I saw that a while ago. Ollie doesn't qualify because of other existing conditions (acro).

Is there a hospital near you that Is participating?

 

Yes about 15 min away
All cats hospital

 

Very nice, your going to enroll?

 

Interesting! If bloodwork is OK, when would he start ?

 

I'm so tired too. My new thing is waking up 2 hours before my alarm goes off and then not being able to fall back asleep. I hope Bella comes down for you today and surfs safely! Happy Friday Jamie!

 

Good luck Jamie! I hope Bella makes it into the trial and that it works for him Wouldn't that be incredible?!!!

 

Really interesting! Keep us posted.

 

As soon as blood work says its ok

 

Will do, it is very interesting but I'm glad I can pull him out anytime and if anything happens its PD for vet said they will monitor very closely

 

It would be, no more insulin!!!!!!!

 

I'm with u on to tired, crazy cats!!! Hope u can get some rest

 

Already did and when we went 1st time his bg was normal of course so I will make sure its 270, that's what it has to be in order to be in trial so i had to wait 1 month to go back

 

I look at it this way, if we dont have cats to participate then we wont know if it will work or not

 

I sure hope it works out and that Bella is approved to participate! Luci decided that today was the day for running off to the lagoon - from 218 to 82 in two hours - I just don't know what this girl is thinking...but I'm always happy when she's off surfing with the other kids...she just doesn't ever do anything in a 'normal' way...Miss 'I'm in a hurry'...then later she'll fling it to the side and be back in her yellows... who can figure?

Have a nice day Jamie!

 

Miss Luci has got diving down pat and she must love it, be safe Luci, nice and slow
Have a great day Sue

 

That study sounds interesting. Ravan doesn't qualify because of his kidney disease I hope it works out well for Bella!

It would make your life a bit easier if you didn't need to get up all the time to check BG
I can't wait to hear how he does on the meds!

 

That study sounds interesting! I have to wonder....whatever drug they are using that replaces the insulin....can it still make the cat's BG go too low? I know giving shots is stressful to some people and some cats but, for me, the stress is not wanting to leave for several hours after the shot in case the BG goes too low.

 

From what they said, no it cant make it go to.low as it's not insulin, the meds have something to do with the pancreas, I'm gonna find out more today

 

This is very interesting, hope Bella's BW makes her eligible for the trial. Go Bella, Go!

 

Bg at vet 396, thank u honey bear lol he had to be at least 275 to qualify so far so good

 

Doing bloodwork and it has to be sent to lab, will get results next week, resume lantus until labs come back

 

Ok blood taken and urine sent out to lab
This is how the med works
It increases the amount of glucose in urine which lowers blood sugar
Theu have 1 other diabetic cat and the cats numbers went to normal in 4 days!!!!!

 

Bella does have a cavity so teeth cleaning after trial if all comes back well

 

+ 11 carbed him up so he would pass at vets

 

Only 275 one time? What happens when you actually start and his glucose is normal?

 

Yes in order to qualify and good bloodwork his bg had to be over 279

 

Just saw your interesting post. Good luck Bella and mom

 

Very interesting study! I hope it works for Bella and lots of kitties. Something that controls BG but won’t let them go too low would be wonderful, especially for those of us who have to leave our kitties alone to go to work.
