9/30 Bailey PMPS 340 +2 288

Yesterday's condo

Every night now the boys seem to sleep on the couch near each other - very nice to see. Was playing last night with a piece of crumpled up paper in the basement. Had brekkie and is now looking for a good place to snooze.

I wonder if any damage is done after hypos? he seems normal

Hi Wendy

I wonder if you might add "Hypo Q" to your subject line? That way, I bet you'd get more folks to chime in on hypo effects. If you check out the stickies, there are some links to HYPO info from Jojo in the "Lantus/Lev" Sticky, for a place to start reading.

Sorry, multitasking like crazy right now! Hope this helps a bit!

Re: 9/30 Bailey AMPS 266 Hypo Question

Our kitty went severe hypo a little while back. As in, had to rush him to ER kind of hypo. He seemed absolutely fine the next day after his visit to emergency. In fact, about 20 min after we got him to ER we were able to visit with him, as he was alert and walking. Of course, he was groggy at that point and seemed somewhat dazed. The next few days he was sensitive to the insulin, but as far as behavior he was the same ol' guy he was before. Not quite as perky as he is today because his FD wasn't yet under control, but it didn't seem to phase him much. Pretty amazing if you ask me!

Hypo can cause brain damage, but I'm not sure how that happens. Probably if they aren't treated quickly enough I would guess.

Wendy, here are a few of the links I have bookmarked on hypoglycemia:

FDMB Hypoglycemia Page: Symptoms Etc.

Quick Reference Sheet for HYPOS from FDMB

Pet Diabetes Page on Hypoglycemia, Effects, Aftermath Etc.

Type2Diabetes Page on Hypoglycemia

Hope these help :smile:

Re: 9/30 Bailey PMPS 340

I think he must still be reacting to the possible hypo the other day, I am still getting oddly high numbers.

Today too he was sneezing a little on and off and rubbing his nose... The fur has come off a bit.

Now it could be too much chicken, he has a chicken allergy but its really hard to find a food that is low carb, he will eat(!) and doesn't have fish in it (civvie cat is allergic to fish, develops bad acne). So we try and balance his food with turkey and beef and chicken wellness but all have some chicken in and if you get the balance wrong you get itchy kitty or acne kitty. Will be keeping an eye on his nose and the sneezing..
