You've probably had to add water to the kitten food + karo to syringe feed. That will help. If you feed any other wet food add a little warm water to it to keep him hydrated.

If his BG has shot up because of the syrup he could be making ketones that are a sign of what could be the onset of ketoacidosis. This is a serious issue. I'm sorry to say something frightening but this problem can arise quickly sometimes. If you can't take the cat to the vet, can you call an ER vet and ask for advice? Tell them what you told us.

Yes I will call....why in the world didn't I think to call an emergency vet.....okay this mommy's brain is obviously not working...thank you for the common sense solution ....(as I slap my forehead lol)

diabetic dry food water

It's not important tonight, but there are much better foods to feed a diabetic.....the "diabetic" dry is actually too high in carbs for a diabetic!! I'm really glad you're going to find another vet....hopefully you'll find one that knows more about treating feline diabetes

We have time to teach you more about the right way to feed when this crisis is over though so don't worry about it now
 
Do give a holler if you have any questions or concerns. There's usually someone around. As the west coast goes to bed, Europe and the UK wake up. Hope you get some sleep tonight and Tigger feels better soon.
 
Thanks all...he is acting much better....after he got some rest and diabetic wet food this morning he is grooming and terrorizing his playmate!!! I plan to give wet food twice a day and dry food inbetween..all diabetic... will search for a new vet and invest in a monitor asap! Thanks for reassuring me last night!

That is really, really good to hear! I've been following along hoping for the best, but did not post as my cat and I are newcomers. We are in very good hands here. I have learned so much from everyone and they have helped me keep Uncle safe. Tigger is a cutie pie!
