When I woke up this morning, I saw Mayton threw up 4 times all along the hall way, and once in my room. He threw up in my room at +9 so it was all probably around that time. All of the throw up was just liquid, no food in it at all. I believe they didn't get their usual midnight snack in the automatic feeders because my dad (who always sets them) fell asleep on the couch. He did feed them at +10 though when he woke up. He has never thrown up this many times before, and its never usually liquid. So I am worried that something is wrong. Also, when I woke up Mayton wouldn't stop meowing very loudly for like 10 minutes. I fed him because I thought that was why he was meowing but he just continued to meow after that. I thought that was weird too.
One another note Mayton's neuropathy is worse. He basically is always walking on his hocks now. Everyday we have to pick large clumps of litter off of his legs because he just walks straight into where he peed, and doesn't kick litter over it any more. I also noticed he really only pees like twice a day, and at those times he pees a LOT, so much that it won't fit in the scoop at once. I guess he holds it because it is probably hard for him to walk in the litter box. That has probably been happening for a month now I just haven't mentioned it. We give him 2 tablets of the Zobaline everyday, one in the morning and one at night. I believe we started him on the pills on April 20th, we started him out on one, then increased to 2 recently. I feel like the pills aren't working which means all we can do it get his BG under control? I don't know why his numbers are always all over the place, it feels like it is impossible to get him "under control".

I think he needs a higher dose even though he throws out the odd dark green. With his history of DKA you might have to feed higher carb food so you can get enough insulin into him. There's the option of trying Levemir if you can't get his cycles to flatten out a bit more. He's certainly not an easy kitty. If you could get more tests scattered over cycles, including evening cycles, that would help to see what he's doing. As for the neuropathy, better BG control should help along with the Zobaline (which can takes months to work).
