Dolly is off this morning. Fed her during the night and found vomit this morning.
Won't eat, I gave insulin. Ketone 0.9 & 1.1.
Hoping insulin will make her feel better and eat.



She's eating a bite here and there.

 

Glad to hear she's eating. My Ruby had DKA and I used to freak out when I found dried vomit and she would not eat before or during her shot until I realized that there were days she preferred getting the shot first and then eating at her own leisure. Me hovering over her in the process never helped either.

 

Thanks. She is a social eater so I have to hover

 

With ketones present she needs insulin. I’m glad she ate. You can always syringe feed when needed.

 

Eating well finally. Ketones down to 0.2. Looks so much better today. Gave her steam bath for her congestion. Thank you for being there. Gives me so much comfort especially when I get panicked.

 

I’m glad she is feeling better. So stressful for both of you.

 

My Walmart out of test strips. can order from Amazon as last resort, expensive.

 

Try EBay. I used to buy test strips there and won them through auctions as great prices too. Maybe order on line from Walmart?

 

I have some coming from eBay but afraid they won’t get here fast enough, going through so many strips. I have 66 left. I am trying to get centered, still acting like a crazy person spinning my wheels.

 

Would it be crazy to have 300 strips coming?

 

Not according to me. I was a testaholic though.

 

Elise, I know I have to decide on the parameters for Dolly’s TR. I need to reread your message with your suggestions. I am just starting to breathe again. I don’t even know if she is due for an increase, need to read the protocol again. I am beginning to feel like me. She is at 140@+6. Didn’t go low like I was expecting, like she did those several days. Maybe no bouncing today. I am trying to also get ready for tomorrow, cancelled all of my family except for my daughter. No grandkids, greatgrandson or new greatgrandson. It’s hard. I am going to review everything and post later on. Thank you.

 

Don’t even think about increasing or even deciding what you want to do until after Thanksgiving.

 

Thank you. Have a safe and Happy Thanksgiving.
