I posted yesterday and was awaiting another opinion from a tagged member. Please look at KittyLou's spreadsheet. Her values are critically high tonight, she is lethargic and has been for a week. She has neuropathy which worsened this week. She ate only a few morsels today. Not only is the value high, but she has been doing swings (she did that once before in July when I tried to change her to Dr Elseys chicken).
I do not know what to do. I called the Emergency Vet and they are full. That is not an option.
My main concern is how much insulin should I shoot tonight. If I shoot the 4.5U, she may do a swing and go too low. She has never been this high before. I am afraid and I would so love to see her regulated. Can someone help me?
The reason the vet is raising her insulin dose is because he thinks that since her thyroid level went from 8.8 to 2.3 during the month of September, that it raised her insulin requirement. (unless something else is going on).
KittyLou was the picture of health in May. A DepoMedrol shot started this whole process.
PLEASE ADVISE. Can I get a mentor from this group?
How much insulin can I shoot tonite (Basaglar).
