11/15 Minky AMPS: 347; 355@+2.75; PMPS: 384; 252@+5.25

I know :( I just did a ketones test and it is .3 :(
:bighug::bighug::bighug: I know it’s extra important for Minky to keep her ketones under control but fwiw 0.3 correlates I’ve been told to diabetic poorly controlled (no where near DKA)…I’ve noticed that I can get a wide variation depending on the BG literally just a few hours apart. One morning I knew it would be bad, he’d been pink and yellow for two days with one red…yep, 0.5. Later that day he had a string of blue and green :eek: and was 0.1. Earlier that week he was 0.6 and after several hours of blue was 0.1. Ymmv of course.
hugs to you and Minky, Sheila—and also to Blinky and poor Whisper (hope her mouth feels better)

This is so helpful to know--I was scared yesterday because I just don't want to go back to DKA. I am trying to get her to eat a bit more because she hasn't been as good at eating like she was. I tested her again and she was down to .2--I was relieved it was better. Blinky is doing better and Whisper seems to be healing. It has been a lot. **hugs**

Maybe mix or blend her wet food with a little water so she can slurp it up rather than chew. Good luck and best wishes to all the ladies on your end from me and my boys
