Kitty BG over 500--still at vets (DKA this weekend)

Good Morning!

I am starting to get anxious about Kitty and I need some reassurance. Kitty had an emergency this weekend--DKA. She has been at the emergency vet and the vet hospital for the last 3 days. Supposedly the Ketones were gone yesterday morning, but they will check again today to be certain they are not present. She has a severe UTI, and was on IV antibiotics, but now has been switced to Zeniquin. Blood was present in the UTI--but now is gone.

Kitty had been having long slow curves on the PZI, but now is having short curves, high nadir readings and preshoot numbers above 500. Previously, her preshoot numbers were in the 300s with an occasional 400.

Please reassure me this is due to the infection and not some type of insulin resitance builing.

She received 3 uits of insulin this morning.
