Ok guys I am a bit nervous. Cc had a reading of 198 this morning. I pray the dental didn't knock her out of remission.

Maybe her mouth is just sore today and that's why the high number.
I tried to give her bupe and the cat turned her head and most of it got on me... But I don't know how much she got so I'm not going to give more.
Ugh!!!!!!

:( Oh see that's the terrifying thing 'remission' I hope that's not the case

It was pretty ok this morning at 132, but went up to 153 this evening. Come on CC... bring those numbers down. :( I wonder at what point I would have to consider giving her a bit of insulin support. (remember I use an alphatrak, so the numbers are supposed to be a little higher then human meters).

If she is out of remission on going to cry and cry hard. Ughhhhhhh stupid teeth.

Let's hope it doesn't come to that Janet. :bighug::bighug:

I'm heading off to the vets now.. hopefully all goes well.
 
Update.. no dental for Tempest today...

Vet just rang, and she has elevated BUN and Creatine levels. But her phos levels are ok. So CKD... vets has advised change of diet, and restest in 2 months to see if they can do the dental then... not recommended to use a phos binder.. will know more in 30 mins when I go collect her. To leave a urine sample up tomorrow to check for protein. :arghh:

Oh dear! My poor cat has it too. Just found out last night. My heart just sank, felt like the end of the world. Thank god for the lovely ladies here who guide me along on what to do.
Why no binder?

If the phosphorus levels are under 5-6 you don't need it yet. My cat never needed them (although I have an unopened $40 jar of it). His level went from 4.7 to 3.9 just with diet change.

Oops ok. I just gave my civvie, d one with cdk some. His phosphorus is under 5. He's enjoying the royal canin renal dry food. Not keen on k/d though. Hopefully next blood test he'll be better. I feel like my full time job now is taking care of my furkids.
 
Just checking in to see how all the "dental" kitties and their Beans are doing and wow, what a couple of weeks this has been for all of you! We have all our fingers and paws crossed here that CC's numbers come back down to her normal and Tempest's kidney numbers improve. :bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug:

Janet, I'm sure it is because of dental, all this stress and meds for poor kitty.
Once she starts feeling better and inflammation is gone she will be back to normal, fingers crossed!

Tara,
I'm so sorry to hear about test results.
Is she peeing normally, maybe she has UTI? When Rocky has a serious E-coli UTI his numbers were terrible but when we tested him after the infection was gone his urea and creatinine are almost normal and the only thing that points towards kidney trouble is low USP urine spec gravity.
 
Brilliant video Janet! Thank you, I mentioned this to the nurse and I figure they would allow me to give subq so that's good!
Thanks Linda! :bighug:

I will post Tempests results on a new thread as this ones really for dental.

Great news, as one of the lovely nurses is planning on joining here and was asking me about more info on diabetes in cats! I think that is brilliant! And I'm happy to help them in any way I can. :)

Thanks! Yes I've been reading. I can't find many of those low P food where I am. I can get them online but the cost is crazy!
