Vet called this AM

He said Gordy started eating last night! They are going to continue monitoring and giving him a unit of "insulin"... he didnt specify what kind though.

I should be able to pick him up tonight!

 

[Amanda and a Loudogg]

WaHOOOO!! Such great news! I hope it continues!!

 

[Tracey&Jones (GA)]

Hurrah on eating!

I am sure he will be glad to be home!

 

[carfurby (GA)]

Yay for eating! That is wonderful news!

Have you thought of feeding tube until he will eat consistently. You will be able to feed him and get the meds in.

I mentioned it, but the ER vet didn't want to do it. That's why I was going to bring him to my regular vet tomorrow if he wasn't eating. I was going to push for different options.

 

[Idjit's mom]

So happy to hear this! Hooray for Gordy. I hope he gets to come home soon to your loving arms, Cass.

 

[Osha]

Yay! I am so happy he is eating!! He will be home with you soon! Sending more vines!

 

[Olive & Paula]

I hope you are given some options and can get gordy better real fast.

He is home!!!!

They said he has been eating decently today.

Vet has been giving 1u of Lantus (I can live with that.) The tech said the last dose was around 7 (which actually would have been shot time). After all this blows over, I may ask them to send over his numbers... but I was too eager to get him home to ask tonight.

The ER vet wants me to keep doing 1u as long as he eats and the re-evaluate Monday. I WILL play it safe. I don't want to end up bringing him back. Twice was enough for me.

Unless he eagerly eats brekkie in the AM, I'll be skipping tomorrow morning's shot. I want to really make sure he is eating.

I got 2 cans of A/D in case, but I hope he doesn't need them.

I will test him around 1 am (should be able the +6) just to see where he is at, but othwr than that, I'm leaving him a lone. He has been through a lot this week and I want him to relax (and let his poor little ears heal a little!!!)

Thank you all for your continued support anf vines. Fingers crossed that he is finally over the major hurdle and is on his way to kicking pancreatitis in the behind!

 

[Mandy & Rex (GA)]

Great news!

 

[Noah & me (GA)]

brekkie in the AM

Blueberry pancakes with tuna, skip the syrup. For lunch a sardine pizza seasoned with catnip.

 

[CassAndGordy(GA)]

Great news!

Oh, Mandy! Did I miss something about Tanner? I am so sorry!

 

[CassAndGordy(GA)]

+4.5 (ish) = 278

I think he is good for the night. He happily ate his crunchy treats after his poke, so thats a good sign! Lol

Oh, Mandy! Did I miss something about Tanner? I am so sorry!

I didn't post about Tanner. I didn't think it would be appropriate with him not being a diabetic cat in this group. I think it was a combination of it being a really bad pancreatitic flare, kidney failure, and finally upper respiratory issues. He went downhill really fast and I had to let him go.

Mandy, I'm soooooooooo sorry...
and do post about Tanner if you wish. He's part of your family and you're part of ours.

 

[Amanda & Shmee]

Great to hear Gordy is at home and eating.

@Mandy & Rex so sorry about your Tanner

 

[Tricia Cinco(GA) & Harvey]

Yay for Gordy eating and being home. Hopefully now his appy will come back. Sending a bunch of good appy vines.

Oh, Mandy, I'm so sorry! Of course you can post here about Tanner. I was the poster child for posting about civvies, and no one ever said one word to me that I shouldn't. We love ALL cats here - diabetic or not - and they are all family! Many hugs to you at this sad time.

I am so sorry about Tanner, big

Any member of your family is a member of ours. I truly am sorry

I'm sorry you had to let Tanner go.

Good news about Gordy. Eat yer fuds, Gordy!

@Mandy & Rex, We are very sorry to hear that Tanner has gone to the Bridge. All of our civvies are part of the FDMB family. He has many friends at the Bridge. Fly free, dear Tanner. You are much loved.
