a long yesterdayhttp://www.felinediabetes.com/FDMB/...2-5-124-2-107-5-58-5-5-71-6-92-9-5-61.176652/

long day and night!
I gave him another reduction down to 7.5u hoping this will hold if not I'll go back to the 3 #'s 68 or lower.
My reasoning is with the oral pred and the thyroid med he was on raised his numbers now that he is off the thyroid look at how fast his cycles are in the lower numbers.
Day 2 of his Orbax antibiotic thankfully so far no side effects.

Prayers and healing vines for all those that need them.

 

[Doodles & Karen]

Hope the reduction holds and don't blame you after the last few nights. Is he eating better?

 

[DebG]

Is he eating better?

Yes he is eating again. Still puts his poor little nose so close to the food to smell it. I have to crush freeze dried salmon on it. But whatever it takes.

I'm glad Fritz is eating better. I hope the Orbax gets rid of the infection. Surf safely Fritz. Sending prayers.

 

[DebG]

I hope the Orbax gets rid of the infection.

I do too! I'm not real clear on what to look for to see if it goes away. I had no clue he had an infection. He just started throwing up at 2:30 pm and 6 times by the following morning. Do infections cause them to vomit? Vet said dehydration. I always add extra warm water to his food. He also has a fersh fountain I keep cool clean water for him to drink. She said no need to get an x-ray of the lungs when he finished the Orbax. I'll be in Yakima Washington I have a great vet there who I'll have do an examine and x-ray for my peace of mind. Who knows if this stuff works for lung infection. My research said very little if any on lung infection or URI. Time will tell! Fingers crossed and lots of prayers.
Have a nice day Carla

I am so happy Fritz is eating again. I hope you can get a nap in today. You had a looong night last night!

 

[Madrona and Leda (GA)]

Hooray for eating! Keep feeling better Fritz

 

[Tanya and Ducia]

I always add extra warm water to his food.

That's exactly what's needed - more water. Ducia was taking AB for infection and we pushed more water into her to increase urination. Human medic that I have at home says that the infection treated with ABs needs to be "peed out". So that extra water is good for Fritz.
PS. What a night you had!

 

[Mandy & Rex (GA)]

I'm glad Fritz is doing better!

 

[DebG]

@carfurby Can you give advice on a dose for Fritz? Should I reduce again or stay with the 7.5u? I still have an hour before PMPS I could wait and see where he is at????

 

[carfurby (GA)]

I think it will depend on what his PMPS is, if he is eating good for you, and if you can stay up and monitor. Today's numbers could be influenced by the depot. However, if he isn't eating very well and you can't monitor, you may want to reduce the dose.

 

[DebG]

He's eating good and I can stay up to monitor so I'll see what his PMPS

and then probably shoot the 7.5u.
Thank you for such a quick response your the best

 

[carfurby (GA)]

I hope Fritz surfs safely tonight. I'm logging off for the night.

 

[DebG]

Thank you have a restful evening!!!!!

 

[Barbara & Uncle (GA)]

Hey there, just checking in on you guys. Glad to hear Fritz is eating well good thing the salmon is helping him get going.
I know we all love the low numbers, but I hope you can get a break tonight!

Awh! thanks for checking in on us. I sure could use some sleep but he was PMPS 98 +2 143 so not sure what to expect.

 

[Tanya and Ducia]

I couldn't figure from the SS - did you shoot reduced dose after the PMPS 98? Like 7U, and after that Fritz's +2 was 143?

 

[DebG]

I gave him 7.5u yes +2 143

 

[Tanya and Ducia]

I see.
I thought you would reduce after that 40 in the yesterday AM cycle.
I hope Fritz has nice and safe surfing and makes it quite for you!

 

[Barbara & Uncle (GA)]

Yeah, the way he's been going lately it might be a good to get at least one more test in. If it's good, you'll probably sleep better anyway

 

[DebG]

I didn't want to give too many back to back dosecreases. You can have the reverse effect resulting in higher numbers and have to start over going down the dose ladder The nice part about that is I know my cat and I am able to closely monitor.

 

[Tanya and Ducia]

I feel so proud of you for doing the right for the cat but hard on the bean thing!
And Fritz had beautiful surf! Actually, he grows greener by the night.
I wish I had your guts and confidence last night...
Wishing you both safe surfing and restful weekend

You do too! As we get to learn our cats by the data this gets a bit easier. Your doing an awesome job!
