Yes, I gave him food. About 1 1/2 to 2 hrs past shot time. I am going to check BG again, I have been giving meds to my other cats.
Thank you, he has not been this low in a very long time. Of course with Buddy you never know what is going to happen. Thanks again.
Test at +2 after the 4 u dose to see where he's headed. He might be higher and that's to be expected. Those lows are interesting and might be due to the antibiotic's effect.
I will test at +2, he is eating right now so it might take a little longer than 2. I hope the antibiotic's start having a good effect on him, it has caused him to have a very loose stool.
Thank you !!!
I'm sorry it took me so long to answer, I did not know you worked. The antibiotics Buddy has been taking has given him really loose stool. His vet put him on a probiotic which he is still taking and along with it was a paste in a syringe that was to help the loose stool. The paste did help the loose stool but it is all gone. I have not been feeling very good and I did not feel like driving to the vets so I called the vets office and asked one of the girls up front if I could give Buddy some generic flagyl that I had for one of the other cats since I did not feel like going to the vets office. The office girl told me that would be alright. I started giving him the medication on Tuesday, last night I got to thinking she did not ask me if Buddy was taking any other meds and she probably would not know anyway unless she asked the vet. I called his answering service last night and it took 2 attempts before he called me back. When he called me back he said he was in the middle of 2 life or death situations and he was sorry it took so long to call me back. Of course I felt terrible and said as little as possible, he said he did not want Buddy taking the flagyl because he wanted to know what was wrong with him and if he took 2 AB he would not know. Hopefully, we can make it till tomorrow and then make it through tomorrow.
I will do and thanks for asking.
A job is a job.
We're good here in my corner of Canada, Teresa. Sounds like you're having a crummy day. I hope both you and Buddy feel better soon.
. Hope you start feeling better! 
I wish the doctor had said Buddy was OK, but he didn't. He said it was still there, but it had not grown any and Buddy has not lost any weight. I am to take him back in another month for an US. I hope in another month this has not grown any and he has not lost any weight. I am happy that it is not any worse than 12 days ago. I am having GI issues that I have had before but they are not getting any better. My Mother wants me to go to the ER, but I have no one to take care of Buddy and my other cats that are sick. Guess if it gets bad enough I will go anyway.Ok in NE coast =). While frustrating for you I'm glad Buddy is OK and just being a cat
I have been having a crummy week. I hope that we both are better soon. Do you know of anyone who would come to Indiana and take care of my sick cats while I re-coup. Oh, I forgot my 95 yr old Mother too.
Thank you.
I'm sorry you and Buddy are still not feeling well, Teresa
. I know Indiana is a big state too but @Phoebes (Angela) lives there too. Tagged her to chime in, maybe she could help.
I did not know anyone else lives in Indiana on FDMB, I don't think Indiana is that big of a state. However, every year the Indy 500 is a big deal around here. I have never been and do not intend to ever go. I live around an hour from Indy, give or take a little depending where you are going.I'm sorry you and Buddy are still not feeling well, Teresa
Thank you, you are a jewel.
Thank you, I have been able to take care of him so far. My Mother keeps telling me if I don't take care of myself, then who is going to take care of my cats.
Thank you, I know that is true.
Thank you, I am trying to get back to a better dose for Buddy. It dose seem like he is coming up with a low BG more often at dosing time.
wish I was closer. Hope your furbaby feels better soon, and hope you do too. head bumps

Thank you, but I was joking about some body coming here to take care of my cats. I need to call Buddy's vet to see if they board just in case I needed him taken care of. Good to know another Hoosier is on FDMB.I am about 4 hours away.
I am feeling better, I appreciate you asking. I am trying to start checking post more often. I am afraid to say anything about Buddy, I don't want to jinx anything.Also noticed another member in Indiana but she seems to be dealing with a anxiety inducing situation herself. Patches mum, on Main Health. Too bad you guys are about 4 hours away. Thanks for checking, Angela
How are you feeling, Teresa? Any better?*healing vines for both of you*
I am feeling better, still a little wobbly. Decided to up Buddy's dose this morning, hope I can keep up with it. How are you and your brood. I wanted to ask you if you know anything about using Freestyle test strips with a Alpha Track meter. I was thinking that you use a Alpha Track meter.
Yes, I have experience with FS strips in an AT meter. They'll read a little differently but not by much. Get a few same blood drop comparison tests using an AT strip and a FS strip every time you start a new vial of FS strips. Leave your AT meter set at whatever the last-used cat code was.

Glad you're feeling Buddy and we won't mention Buddy!
Is there more than 1 type of Free Style test strips and if so is there any certain 1 that needs to be used with Alpha Track. This is something I have been thinking about for a while.Yes, I have experience with FS strips in an AT meter. They'll read a little differently but not by much.

Free Style Lite with the butterfly logo on the strip is what you want. They look identical to the AT strips.
I saw some Free Style strips the other day at a very good price, but I cannot remember if they were Lite or not. Hope you feel better after taking Maury to he vet, sometimes I don't know if I feel better or not. I would really like to know if Lantus works better for Maury, I hope it works better for you and Maury.I use Free Style Lite strips with my AT2 meter too, Teresa
Thank you, I am old, takes a longer time to re-coup.
