Rocket & his Mom
Member Since 2010
hi all,
it was a rough night indeed...bupe in place at 12 midnight...he ate on his own shortly after then again at 12:30...but he was restless...i slept where he slept...well that was the idea anyways....i wanted to make sure he didn't get cold....or stayed in the bathroom without a blanket....2:30 am he got up to eat again on his own to his bowl...so i guess the 1/8 cypro did help some what...
5:30 am ....what would have been his amps 106 but i gave no insulin....i took the reading 2 times as it was the same number as yesterdays am bg and pm bg....
6 am...pheno and pepcid in place....
he was restless but not as much as the bupe was wearing off....
i fell asleep and never noticed when dh left home at 7 am....
got up at 8 am...found Rocket in the bathroom not sleeping and i immediately called the vet's office...vet tech said to give bupe as Rx by the ER vet and to wait until vet got in at 9:00
gave full dose of bupe and fed him...i waited couple of minutes and picked him up to bring him to bed...he stayed in bed 2 hrs....i slept those 2 hrs off and on....but in the meantime the vet called me just before 9 am and her plan it to up his pheno dose just a lil bit....see if that helps...if the increase does not help then her hands are tied and will have to refer me to an IM vet (which i can not afford to take him to...they're extremely expensive here...if i had a job i would say like before "sure let's do this" or "sure we can try that")
so i gave the lil bit of pheno though he had already gotten it at 10 am....gave fluids and he ate chicken dust...brought him back to bed...and he stayed there for a good 1 hr relaxing and he slept a lil bit...i managed to sleep but not much....
i'm to email the vet with an update on how he's done....so she can advise if i'm to give the bupe come 4 pm today....
he seems relaxed and ate on his own at 11:30.....
now 12 noon he is in the bathroom again....letting him stay there for a lil bit...have not tested since am bg....
this is where we are now....will email vet in 1 hr with an update....
i'm tired but managed to get in some sleep...my body aches from laying on the floor....the glimmer of hope i have is that this morning so far he has been more relaxed and has managed to stay in the bedroom longer and has slept with ease...and has eaten as well....
please continue to pray for us....
here is yesterday viewtopic.php?f=9&t=34548
btw...at his clinic there are 2 vets who are discussing with each other regarding his case...so they both throw each other info....so at least that helps me somewhat that they're willing to work and help him...vet told me not to stress him further and that we will try the meds first for a day or so and if that's not working then i will bring him in....she said yesterday was probably traumatic for him and no sense in putting him thru more if we want him to start getting better....
my head spins...but hopefully he is on the mend....
