Thanks Lyla. I wish Dolly was feeling good. Walking is worse. Getting X-rays ASAP at the other vet I was taking her too. Looking for new vet. I am overwhelmed and scared. She is mad at me a lot, getting the back to me :facepalm:. Probably picking up on my anxiety. I don’t want to keep giving her Buprenex but it helps. None so far today. Hope you get the appointments this week. Hope Butters is okay with her itchy ears, hope the meds helped. Hoping you and Butters have a good day. Sending our loving prayers for hope and healing :bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug:

I need help and feel stupid. I bought some CBD OIL for Dolly and as suggested put it on her ears. Well of course now when I try to test her the blood liquifies and hard to get a test. I washed her ears with ivory soap and water but that didn’t help. I hesitate to use alcohol because it will probably burn her. Peroxide maybe??

I did and my WiFi suddenly went out. I actually called them. Her numbers are not right but thank goodness not too bad. Worry about her being low if anything. Thank you.

If it were me, I would use a little mild soap and water (Unscented soap) to clean it off.

I would not feel badly about the Bupe. If she needs it then she needs it. Be glad that you have a vet who will prescribe it for her. Bupe is safe used long-term in cats. I do hope you can get answers. I would be afraid too. I understand. Tell me about her walking problems. What do they look like? How does she walk? It is not a plantigrade stance, I assume (like with diabetic neuropathy?) because I am sure that you are very familiar with that. Is it that she is weak or wobbly?

You did just the right thing. Sorry I was so late to the game!! Love you, Adrienne.

Thanks Suzanne. I know her numbers are not reading right. I am so angry with myself, knee jerk to make her feel better. Vet problems. Her vet for 8 years is the one who said I was to take her off insulin immediately. I was playing with fire with her low numbers. If she runs 300 for a few days that’s not a problem. :arghh: I can’t go back there so I sent a message to her other vet. Will hear tomorrow. She is in pain. Love you back Suzanne.

This is Dolly on a not so bad day. She walks like a snail with a slight limp. Hope you can open it. It’s safe. She favors her right hip. I’ve put stair where she goes the most, our bed and her perch.

So you burned your bridge with the other vet (of 8 years)?
 
And I am so sorry that Dolly has been in so much pain. I would not worry too much about fasting her before AMPS and PMPS. I don't think it's that important at this point. You have lots of data on Dolly and you know how she does with insulin. You are not going to endanger her. I also don't get your vet telling you to take her off insulin? Was this recent? She hasn't even had a lime green recently. What is wrong with that vet?

That's not bad at all (in the video). She looks like an older cat who is stiff. I am sure on a bad day it is not so good. I would worry, too. I had an older cat who really walked badly. We never could figure out exactly why. She weaved around and sometimes she would just "lose it" in her back end and kind of fall down. It was very hard to watch. I see you've been sleeping on the couch to be near Dolly. I can totally relate to that. I won't leave Mr. Darcy alone. I sleep with him all the time. I keep watch over him just about 24/7.

It was on last Monday. I decided to try her old Cats only vet again. She said Dolly was in danger due to her low numbers. I let her see the SS, big mistake. I reminded her that I use a human meter. Obviously she could see how close I monitor her. It was an order, not a suggestion. She wanted me to call in her new numbers without insulin. She did a Fructosamine, can't remember how to spell it. Dolly was near perfect at 377 for a tightly regulated cat on insulin. She also gave me Meloxicam for the arthritis, I had to sign a waver, not approved for cats in the US. Even though she has good kidney values, it's a dangerous drug even for humans. Some people on the forum have used it. She also said her congestion was better than ever. My husband that has serious hearing problems could hear her snorting and mucous (y) across the room. Going there for 8 years, since we adopted her. Due to Covid I tried a new vet that you could go in with your pet. I liked him but it seemed to be mostly dogs there. Sorry if I sound crazy, I feel like I am. I am not worried about the CBD, I am worried that I don't think I am getting real BG numbers. I have to poke several times before I can get blood that isn't diluted. Hope Darcy is okay today, numbers up. You know I care and worry about him. I haven't been checking on anything today but Dolly.

Neko got buprenorphine for close the three years, twice a day. It was a game changer for her and her arthritis. I have no regrets giving it to her. Acupuncture also helped her pain.

But do you know how I can get the oil off her ears? I tried ivory soap and water, helped but only a little. Her blood is diluted, takes several pokes to get undiluted blood and I have to act fast. Odd numbers today for Dolly. Thanks Wendy.
 
:bighug::bighug::bighug: I didn't get the tag, Adrienne. I'm not sure how to clean the oil off of Dolly's ears. Rather than keep scrubbing them, I'd prob try to put a tiny bit of vaseline on the ear and then poke and see if that helps form a blood drop.

If the bupe is working for Dolly, I wouldn't worry about trying to get her off of it, personally. I think it's wonderful that you've found something that helps her.
Sending you hugs and prayers:bighug::bighug::bighug:

Thanks Lyla. I’ve been so caught up in this madness. I don’t feel her numbers look right but maybe from the CBD oil. It’s supposed to be so safe. I did research. IDK. :banghead::banghead: I don’t know how you and Butters are doing. If her ears are getting better. Hope tomorrow an appointment materializes. :bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug:

If you have to test what about using the paw pad? I never did that myself but I know some do. Maybe the cbd will wear off soon. Try soap again maybe?
Click to expand...
Thanks. No paw pads with this girl. I will try the soap again. It’s gentle ivory liquid soap. These are just not normal numbers for her.
 
Thank you all as usual for being the best friends I could ask for. I don’t know what’s up with Dolly’s numbers, I pray she doesn’t go past blue. She had great numbers yesterday. Inflammation, pain, CBD oil? Thank you for your caring support, I hope I can give you all the same one day. :bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug:
