Guys, I'm scared.

I'm currently waiting on my mom to get here to take Alphie and i to the vet since I can't drive.
Alphie has been drinking a lot the past few days and he just peed himself while sleeping. I remember this happening when he had ketoacidosis.
Of course this happens on a weekend. So if he needs to stay overnight somewhere, it'll have to be at the emergency vet, which I can't afford.
I just want him to be okay. I can't lose my baby. I'm so scared.

Also, his appetite was normal when he ate breakfast. He woke me up as usual to feed him. When he had ketoacidosis in January, he didn't eat.

I am so sorry. I hope he is okay.

They're too nauseated to eat with DKA so that's a really good sign.

HUGS and hugs and hugs...

Have you tested his BG recently? If not, I would suggest checking it now.

I just tried checking it, but he won't stand still. The one time I pricked him, he didn't bleed at all. He seems to have energy, because I pulled out the boiled chicken I made for them and he got super excited

He also seems like he has energy. I pulled some of his boiled chicken out for a treat for me pricking his ear (I didn't actually get a reading though, because he kept moving and it didn't bleed at all) and he got super excited. So I hope I'm just being paranoid

Thank you so much! I'll definitely check those out while Alphie's back with his doctor!

Thank you. I hope so too. I hope he can catch a break soon

Keep trying to get a test. He may be dropping very low.

 

[Tuxedo Mom]

I agree with Squalliesmom. With all the energy and the urge to eat the glucose levels could have dropped into low ranges. Even if it is difficult getting a test would be a good idea. Sometimes we just have to "fight" our kitties to keep them safe.

If you are using 31 gauge lancets, switch to 28 gauge... They are thicker and more likely to get a sample. Also don't be afraid to poke all the way through.
