Buzz went to the vet yesterday to see if she has an infection. Fittingly, yesterday was her 1 year dx-iversary. I told the vet I wanted to do a C&S, and that if the UA came back clean, I'd like to get BW done to rule out any other infections. Buzz's bladder wasn't full at all when we were there, so the vet said she would keep her for the afternoon. She was able to get some urine but not enough to do a C&S, so they kept her overnight. This was a good exercise for me, as I tend to have a little bit of a control issue when it comes to the kitty and her FD (don't we all? :lol: ).
She didn't get her insulin shot this morning because she wouldn't eat (she didn't eat last night either, only a couple of bites). For Buzz, this is huge. I have NEVER seen her turn down a meal, no matter how much she has already eaten (on those low nights when she gets food every 30 minutes) or what kind of food it is. Anyway, I did an in-the-door test and she was at 432 at 3 hours past what would have been her AM shot time. I didn't want to get that far off schedule so I'm skipping AM shot and we will pick back up tonight.
She DOES have an infection, I suppose a UTI although there were no crystals. We will have the results of the C&S back in 3-5 days, so maybe not before the weekend. Although this sounds weird, I am glad there's an infection because now I know I'm not crazy. :lol: Although of course it makes me feel like an awful bean for not having done anything about it sooner, despite my suspicions for the last month or so. Water under the bridge, yadda yadda.

I'm not being too hard on myself, because that won't solve anything except make me unhappy. As you've all said, the important thing is that I'm getting her treated now and hopefully she will go back to the great progress she was making when she first started on Lantus. Fingers crossed!
.. I've been good.. just busy.. lots of hugs from us to you two.. you are doing great!
