I gave him 2 units (instead of 2.25) and fed him about 1/3 of a can. I'll make him eat more in 45 minutes or so. He's pretty riled up atm.
He's at 166 and .6 for blood ketones. He really doesn't want to eat - not even his favorites, but I got him to drink a bit of cream. I can feed...
I'll test again and try to get him to eat more and see where we are.
Hi Deb: Had a .7 blood ketones this am and Boo isn't eating or drinking much. He is alert and seems comfortable, so I'm hoping it is the antibiotic...
They charged, but I paid this time. They're a good clinic overall and working hard to service their clients during this pandemic, and I can afford...
Per the vet, no ketones were in the urine, but it had a few red and white blood cells so we now have antibiotic shots added to the daily pokings....
Ketones were at .4 so we're off to the vet this morning!
He's maintaining weight, but I'll check it again tomorrow. His teeth and gums are good and he doesn't act like he has a UTI (will pee on the carpet...
OH! I thought he was fine at .2. Shoot. Well, he certainly eats more than he needs - he gets 4 cans FF or more a day. I'm not sure he would eat...
Thank you!! I can't thank you enough for your input. I'd be a basket-case without it!
Going back to 2.25, the 2.5 got to 53 last night and but was high again this morning. His daytime at 2.25 isn't too bad, but then he ends up in the...
Just a quick note, I was giving the PZ shot just after feeding at 7:30 (Boo was still eating). Previously, when his levels seemed a bit more steady,...
Thanks, I'll do that! I can do a +2 and +4 before bed tonight and move the feedings. Thanks again!
I've been at the 2.25 since Wed am, but his levels are still high. Feeding right now is 7:30 am w shot, 1:30 pm, 7:30 pm w shot, midnight. I leave...
Thank you. Our dog was Baron Von Woof and he was the sweetest thing. An adorable mutt we adopted in 2009. We adopted Boo in 2005 so they've been...
Once we ran out of our reserve stock of FF seafood pate in late March, early April, we couldn't get any FF from area stores or shipped. We got other...
I'll just keep giving him some smaller snacks in between the 12 hour doses (but not within the 2 hours before the test/meal). I updated the chart for...
I can do that! :)
Thanks!! He just started on insulin again late May and it took me a bit to get back into the testing routine. He was in remission for 2 yrs, so also...
Wasn't testing daily, just what is in the chart. Going to start daily now, before meals plus random.
