Morris is now home from his weekend with the pet sitter. Unfortunately, she fed him a lot of MC & HC and not much LC!! That, combined with dropping his dose down to 1.00u from 1.25u, has meant that his BG readings have been through the roof while away! I know he definately needs to go back up to at least 1.25u, but should I consider increasing him up to 1.50u since his numbers are so high??? I have updated his ss with all of his BG readings & put notations as to how much & what type of food he was eating.
Last night, he started throwing up - another indication that he has pancreatitis! He threw up again this morning. After picking him up & learning this, I drove straight over to the vet's office. As luck would have it, they were just doing up his bottle of bupe & were just about to call me to come get it!!! I was able to speak with 1 of the vets about his vomitting & she wants to wait until he adjusts back home to decide if it really needs to be addressed, or if it might have been a side effect from the higher carb foods he was eating this weekend & being at a strange location.
I will start the bupe tonight with his insulin (instructions say to give it every 8-12 hours for 14 days). We are going to a family dinner this evening, but will be home in time for insulin.
Hope to have some replies with advice/suggestions about tonights dose! Will be giving insulin at 8pm pacific time tonight.
