Hi guys well I haven't said anything yet but Tyler has been losing weight for no reason
Same food, nothing has changed, eating fine ,nothing has changed
Took him to the vet this morning for blood work
The practice that I go to I used to see Dr Sass ,she was on board with everything I did.
Well about 6 or 7 months ago I found out she left
She worked like a dog 6 days a week all day
The 2 owners are Dr Beeber and Dr Pla
I have been to Dr Beeber in the past like 20 years ago with other cats that I had
He's very good but he's only there 2 days a week
Dr Play 2 days a week, both of them worked half days
Anyway I'm sure Dr Sass had had it asked to be made a partner and they said no. So she left
So I took Tyler this morning and saw Dr Beeber , told him about the weight loss I've been noticing, Tyler was always a big boy
He now weighs 13.80
I've been weighing him like once a week
6-22 got 14.6 7-5 thru 9-12 was staying around 14.4
Weighed him at home on 9-16 and got 13.8 so I guess the vets scale is correct
I'm very very worried !
His brother Perry died of kidney disease 10-6-21 some of you know this
So now I'm worried what if Tyler has it
Maybe his thyroid
Vets checking everything
I know Tyler needs a dental last one was 3-2021
Can't believe how much tarter build up
So I was telling Dr Beeber about our group and how you all helped me get him into remission
He didn't know what TR or SLGS was so I explained it.
I said to him if it wasn't for alll of you he probably never would have gone into remission if I had listened to how Dr Plau does it.
I search thru our site and found it , Dr Plau gave it to my vet Dr Sass to tell me
Edit
So this is what she told me about adjusting the insulin. She wrote out. If greater than 220 increase by 0.5 units. If 100-220 do not change the dose. If 80-100 decrease by 0.5 units. If 60-79 decrease by one unit. If less than 60 skip dose. She told me that I would go by what his last dose was,trying to explain this lol .So he was at 4 units, I did the test this morning and his BG was 240 so by doing what she told me I increased it by 0.5 units, so I gave him 4.05 units. Now when I do it tonight I would go by his last dose which was 4.05 units and see what his BG is tonight and then adjust it accordingly. Does this seem right to all of you .Thanks
So now Dr Plau comes in because Dr Beeber wanted him to look at Tyler's teeth
He definitely needs a cleaning , I said I know, I said I just can't believe how much plaque builds up so fast. He says well humans go for a teeth cleaning every 6 months, I said I know but it doesn't cost them 5 or 6 hundred dollars or more every 6 months
I said some people just don't have that kind of money!
Now I proceed to tell him how I got Tyler in remission all about our group , I said no disrespect but they know more than some vets know about diabetes
I tried to explain about TR and SLGS and how we go by the nadir to change the dose,
I said if I had followed your instructions Tyler could have had a hypo, he dropped to 39 once while I was doing a curve! He was on Vetsulin at the time.
He just kept saying everyone has a different approach
I just shook my head and he said to me I see you shaking your head.
I said yes I am.
He said he's been treating diabetic cats for over 30 years and Dr Sass didn't have the knowledge he has.
He's also known as The Cat Man
I'm sure he's a very good vet, he's the one that prescribed an antibiotic when Tyler had herpes, not covenia. Cleared it right up
Well anyway I don't think he's too crazy about me now lol
I really don't care
I should have the blood work back on Monday or Tuesday because Dr Beeber will be out of town on Fri and Sat, what's the rush anyway right?
I just so afraid that Tyler had kidney disease , I don't know why
At least if it's thyroid that would be better news
I just can't deal with another cat with kidney disease after losing Perry to it
Well any way just wanted to let you guys know what's going on with Tyler
Oh last year I paid 310.00 for his cleaning, that included the x-rays before and after
anesthesia , everything. When I mentioned it here no one could believe how cheap that was
So I asked Dr Beeber how much would it be now, I showed him my receipt
He said oh I don't know ,you can ask the front desk
So I ask her and she says around 600.00
I said what from last year it went up 300.00
Now when Beeber calls me about the blood/work I have to ask him what she quoted me
I'm going to say you really jacked the price up didn't you
It's irking me
I know that's what it usually runs from what some of you told me but come on .
Went up 300.00
Well I'm done with my rant
When I hear back from the doctor I'll let you all know why he's been losing weight
I'm just sick to my stomach over this
Thanks guys
