Yesterday https://felinediabetes.com/FDMB/threads/1-15-max-pmps-179.257899/#post-2901418
We have a vet appointment tomorrow if we can get there. A lot of ice on the roads from sleet and freezing rain today. I have a lot to talk about with the vet about his GI issues. I know he’s getting a T4 to check his thyroid as recommended at NSCU for follow up, also getting the chemistry panel and I was going to ask them to check to see if he’s deficient in B12. Still trying to transition over to all novel protein diet. He likes the Instinct rabbit, but would not touch the venison. He gets tired of eating the same thing every day so I’m still trying different flavors slowly. Chicken seems to be something that causes upset stomach. That sucks because chicken is his favorite. He really likes the EZ complete with turkey which doesn’t seem to bother him as much.

 

Be safe above all. Don’t go out if it’s still icy. But I do hope you will not have to reschedule.

 

Thanks, don’t worry. I won’t go if the roads are bad. I hope they aren’t though because I’ve been waiting for this appointment.

 

If Max is still green or a low blue at preshot time, I should still give him 10 units right? I know I have to get used to doing that but he is just so unpredictable. He’s also not been feeling that great. Still having some GI issues and even vomited yesterday. He hasn’t done well with the BCS in the past. I would love to keep him in the greens but honestly I’m nervous about giving him 10 units with a green preshot, because of the SRT and his GI issues, and his history of diving. I need some guidance and reassurance I suppose. Should I give him 10 units at PMPS which is 45 mins from now? If so do I give higher carb food to boost him up before the insulin onset? Would the 10 units take him even lower into unsafe numbers? Any guidance is appreciated! @Wendy&Neko @FrostD @tiffmaxee

 

It's a bounce break late nadir...so yes I'd do full 10U. I expect him to bounce again. Yay greens!

 

Thanks Melissa! I love your picture of Mr. Kitty.

 

Max usually bounces. But honestly it comes down to — can you monitor him tonight and intervene if necessary?

 

Yes he does. Not a fan of staying up all night, but I guess I will do what I've got to do.

 

I agree. Shoot. I hated pj parties but if you skip and he bounces you will feel worse.

 

I hope you can make it to the vet tomorrow. Surf safely tonight Max.

 

Please be safe tomorrow, icy roads are horrid! And here's some vetty vines for Max, hope you get some answers and also hoping his tummy feels better. None of my cats liked venison, I tried Ziwi which was supposed to be a good food but no use if they won't eat it.

 

Thank you! I’m hoping to get some help from the vet tomorrow! He wouldn’t touch the venison. I have wasted so much money on cat food! Trying to find something he likes that agrees with him. He loves chicken but if he eats too much of that he gets diarrhea.

 

Thanks! Some of the ice melted today but I’m sure it will re-freeze tonight. Our appointment is later in the afternoon so hopefully we will be good to go by then.

 

Nice cycles today. Be safe tomorrow.

 

Waiting to see what Max’s AMPS is this morning

 

Getting ready to post. Very high bounce.
