Good evening,
what a week! Sorry for not posting but it was all a bit intense. Binie was quite unwell and in pain on Thursday. She was hiding and didn't pee for 17 hours, which made me panic quite a bit. Maybe she would have done this even longer if Colleen @SmallestSparrow would not have suggested, to move the box to another place, because she might associate the place with the pain. I did it and an hour later she peed a good amount.
The blood test confirmed, that she has a massive inflammation. Also her kidney values are not in range but the vet said this does not necessarily mean ckd but could be due to the infection.
Thank god she was already better on Friday and we had another check at the vet who gave buscopan again. I think today she is not in pain anymore. She stopped licking her belly and she doesn't lose urine anymore in strange places but uses the box again. Seems like we give her the right antibiotic based on the antibiogram in December, still waiting for the urine test to come back.
As she might not get rid of the multi-resistant germ, I wonder when I will know in future when to start the treatment. I don't want her to be in so much pain again. I wonder if I should have asked the vet for a blood test in December, besides the urine test. I will discuss this with the vet.
Her bg also recovers slowly and we saw blue numbers today. I was also amazed when I tested ketones on Friday and it was 0.0 besides the inflammation. The vet thinks, that the higher dose of insulin helps.
Her appetite is not so great, maybe because of the antibiotics. I hope she recovers fast.
By the way: On Thursday she was one year on insulin.
What a year...
Thank you for all the great support!
