? Sassy PSPM 375 didn't eat Should I give shot?

Sassy been eating small meals throughout day. Her shot time is 9 pm. I tried feeding her rabbit pate after the test. she is not eating. open FF can sniffs and walks away. Drank water. She nibbled few bites as late at 7 pm. doesn't seem to have appetite. Yesterday eating pretty well.
Still dealing with diarrhea.
Should I still give shot?
I am so worried.

 

I'll tag @Deb & Wink for you

 

Do you think Sassy will eat in the next couple hours before the Lantus onsets? You can always give at least a 1/2 dose - not all the injected insulin goes to combat the carbs in meals. Cats undergoing anesthaesia who cannot eat, still get half dose. And since you've been seeing some ketones, I would definitely give the dose, probably the full dose, since she's so high now.

Hmm, I see you are giving different doses at night that during the day. Here we find that giving the same dose AM and PM is best.

Thanks Wendy, I hope she comes back on

 

I gave her the shot. I have a slight doubt it didn’t go in And lo and behold she just ate, not a lot, but a good few bites. I gave two units. I know either you or someone else on forum said same am and pm. My vet said 1 unit at night, but I understand your logic.
When should I text her this evening? How long after the shot at 10:00 pm?
Thank you for your reply

 

Great, glad she ate! Please update the spreadsheet. I would start with a +2 test. If it's quite a bit lower than the preshot number, you may have to do some later tests.

 

Hi. I think several of us said to give the same dose day and night because Lantus likes consistency. Others here have been given advice like you were given and ha e found our way helps regulate. I’d get a +2 and leave food out or encourage him to eat more in an hour. FD you get cerenia?

 

Wendy how many units do you think she should give for both cycles
I see she said the vet told her to give 1 unit at night
@Wendy&Neko

 

1.25 units was not enough insulin, an increase to 1.5 was warranted. There hasn't been enough data to say how the 2 day/1.25 at night has been doing. Plus the inconsistent dosing is going to produce odd numbers anyway.

Here is the link to the last post where dosing was discussed. https://www.felinediabetes.com/FDMB/threads/amps-354-did-not-eat-too-much.231941/ Having those links included allows us to easily go back and see what was said previously.

 

no cerenia. I will call vet in am and get cerenia. She was eating yesterday and nibbling all day.
I will do a +2 test and leave food out.

Yes, will do.

 

If possible you need to be testing more during the night cycle, at least get a +6, set an alarm if you have to.
If you can't , do it on the weekends, there isn't enough data for the night cycle,
With more data members here will be able to give you more advice about doses

 

She just threw up a good two portions of her food. And she has a little blood with mucous in her poop. I am knowing in the back of my head this is not good.

 

When you feed again, just do a small amount, then wait another 20 minutes or so. Slow and steady on her GI system. Glad you're going to call the vet.

 

I hope the vet can do something for Sassy, poor baby, I hope she'll feel better soon

 

Sassy just went downstairs ate small amount and drank water . She tested 301 +2 at 12:10 am 7/10/2020. I have set alarm to test at 4:00 am

 

That's good Get some rest
