not sure where you are seeing ketones being present yesterday in the SS? Last time they were present was Sunday, so for 3 days now they have not been showing when testing with the ketone strips.
think the ketones misunderstanding happened because the spreadsheet has not been updated the last two days, making the ketones incident seem more recent. Glad to hear they are still in the past
Yes it is as Wendy suggested. It looks as if it is yesterday because the SS is not updated. I’m glad they are negative!
 
@Wendy&Neko oh ok, yes I have my hands full at the moment with Mia, keeping track of everything and all the medications she is on. And spending 3 hours daily at the vet

Right now due to the blood tests showing (images of the test results further up) low RBC, HCT and HGB, the vet put her on that as a supplement. So depends when her numbers will increase I guess.
 
Check with your vet about the iron supplement and make sure the vet knows that it contains sugar. He may not be aware. I would rely on a higher calorie food or more food if you need to get Mia to gain weight.
 
She is aware it contains sugar, I brought it to the appointment yesterday to confirm. She said that since this is something temporary, she isn't too concerned about the sugar content. Regarding weight gain, we have been trying to feed Mia more than her usual amount due to the fact she had ketones present when she was diagnosed. The food she had been getting is high calorie (I am assuming?), recovery wet food from Royal Canin. Ketones have been negative for 4 days now though.
