Good afternoon,
we had an all red night after the furshot and also today pink seems to be the best we can reach. I hope the next cycles she goes further down.
Binie has some diarrhea today, seems to be the first side-effect of the antibiotics. I started to give probiotics again, gave healing earth and will start to give her psyllium husks later.
I measured ketones this morning and I am so glad, that even though she didn't get insulin last night, they are with 0.3 mmol/dl still in her normal range. So no additional worry. She is also eating well. Unfortunately she is still hiding. Not all the time but now and then she is leaving her cat bed and goes to some strange corner, sometimes even under the radiator.
I almost don't see her licking the wound anymore. Maybe that problem is finally solved.
I try not to overthink how the last weeks have been. After the first urine test weeks ago, which said "mixed flora" I should have insisted on getting into it further. Instead I said yes to giving her a random antibiotic by "try and error" even though I was not convinced. I think my vet would not have suggested another test if I wouldn't have asked. I think Binie was not treated properly. On the other side, I don't feel that switching vets now would help. So it seems the only thing I can do now, is to be extra alert and question everything.
I hope everyone is having a calm and relaxed sunday!
