dian and wheezer
Very Active Member
wheezer was diagnosed 12/28/05. started on NPH and was increased weekly by 1u according to ketostix. numbers always up there.was on hills WD for struvite crystals. on 2/22/06 we started him on lo carb wet and he hypoed. found this site and was suggested to try BCP PZI. on 2/24 we started BCP PZI at 1u and that was too much. we started decreasing to where he was at SID dosing. toyed wit OTJ all of march and finally made it in April. june,july august were slowly going up and as of sept started on insulin again. had to reorder cause I gave mine to a friend who threw it away when they got theirs LOL. no names here.
ended up wheezer had very bad tooth infection and bleeding teeth.
he toyed with OTJ on a few occ after dental but it was never to happen. we even tried PZI vet at QID. finally switched to lev on 7/20/07
he has been up and down the dosecrease ladder ever since. as high as .8 and as low as 0.05
on 5/18/09 we tried dosing TID with and up and down the ladder again .3 - 0.05. mostly 0.05 with an occ .1 to bring down the bounce. we would do great for awhile (blue and lo greens)and then BAM yellows.
on 1/13/10 we went back to bid dosing of 0.05u and scenerio is the same. we do good for a while and BAM yellow again.
any other cat that got down to 0.05u would have been OTJ by now.
wheezer is a microdose kitty and 1/2 gtt will drop him like a rock. he is also a food spiker so when we can, we shoot first and depending on number, wil l try and wait at least 3 hours before we feed. this is only done on my days off. work days is about an hour wait
that's my story and I am sticking to it.
must thank jojo for sticking with me and trying to figure out this bad boy

You do such a great job with him and the boys 
no, really you are amazing there dian, he is one of the most difficult (read frustrating) cats ever to come to board. but most micro-dose cats are. he is just the supreme example. 0.05 units, just crazy that he can't go w/o insulin one would think. 
and a whoohoo new computer: laptop_smiley okay okay better stop having fun with new smileys... off i go to next condo, gots lots of places to go cats to see. (hope you have nice pics of the skin lesions in the BOYZ condo so i can see it. did you get my FB PM about other possibilities of what it could be? oops, don't answer that in wheez's conod, i'll see you at boyz condo).
