Shopping supplies list? + Agatha update

Is there a comprehensive list with links to diabetic kitty supplies? I'm in need of insulin needles. I've been using UltiCare Vet Rx U-40 3/10cc 29g 12.7mm I got from my vet but am low now on needles + will need insulin sooner than later.

I have read for about the last 5 hours on the site, stickies, info, old posts. I haven't come across a list like this. TIA -Sam + Aggy

 

Hi Samantha...how are you and how is dear Agatha ? I have been wondering how she is.

I can’t help you with Prozinc supplies but I’ll tag a couple of people who use Prozinc and who may be able to help
@Deb & Wink
@JanetNJ

 

Thank you Bron! I have been wanting to tell you about Agatha. She's eating good on her own (last dose of gabapentin was Friday morning). She seems to be in a good mood but follows me around more than usual bc she wants food I believe. The Wynsong Epigen kibble is always out but she doesn't eat it (my civilian Freya crunches on it tho). There's usually a bit of wet food in her bowl but I have to remind her it's there sometimes as it's on the counter where we test + shoot. She wakes me in the morning to remind me it's time to eat too. Her BG numbers are high + I thought they would've come down more than this by now. I don't know if I need to do another curve test or what.

I can't get over the infection she had (fever + elevated white blood cell count). Why did it happen? Was it something I did, like infecting her with a syringe? I don't see how it corresponds to the pancreatitis.

 

I. So glad she is better!
I would do another curve. It looks like she needs more insulin. I’ll tag @Deb & Wink and @JanetNJ as I don’t use Prozinc.
Don’t forget to test on the Pm cycle as well. That’s important

 

I've been trying to sleep but still up due to insomnia. Thank you for the reminder. +4/3:27am BG 392 I also update our profile bio so hopefully that's helpful.

From tonight, she looks upset but I promise that's just her face!

She looks like she is saying...Are you bothering me again !

 

Adwdiabetes.com has good prices on syringes. You can often find discount codes for them as well.
I have also ordered these. They arrived quickly as well. https://www.countrysidepet.com/prod...00-syringes-total?_pos=3&_sid=62d391b73&_ss=r

 

Thank you Janet, I just ordered them from the link you provided + got more lancets on Amazon. Now I just need more insulin. I have very low income... These are getting so expensive. I appreciate finding the best deals possible!

 

Reach out to Diabetic Cats In Need, they can help with insulin and syringes if you're low income.

 

THANK YOU SO MUCH ELIZABETH! I think I came across a list of assistance programs last night when I was reading, but that was for a member in the UK. I filled out their application and also emailed some of the information they needed. Can't wait to hear from them, thank you again!

 

+4/2:35pm BG 114 + 130, +5/3:47pm BG 110

It looks like the dose is taking her lower than before.

 

I wonder what caused that big drop? The dose hasn't been reduced. Did you change what you were feeding her?

 

No, nothing has changed. I'm going to try to keep testing.
+4/2:35pm BG 114 + 130, +5/3:47pm BG 110, +7/5:29pm BG 214

 

Glad Janet could help you with ideas for the U40 syringes. Haven't had a diabetic cat myself in a long time, so haven't kept up with where to get supplies.

 

Nice numbers

 

Hi Sam. Pleased to see Aggy is making progress. Sorry you are so far away as I have spare prozinc having changed to lantus. Hope you get some supplies.

 

Aggy I have a new vial of ProZinc I'm not using. Pm me if you want to arrange something.
