Good morning LL,

Angie is outside in the sun at the moment. She left prezzies this morning - on the kitchen floor, my bedroom floor and on my bed! :o :o :shock: Kitchen floor is not unusual if it's a bit stuck - and there was some scooting involved - but the bed??? She was upset about it so I don't think she was punishing me. She's never punished that way anyway - normally it's by being extra nice to somebody else, while glaring at me over her shoulder! Vet visit is looking more and more likely on Monday.

Thanks Wendy for your help yesterday. I'll ask for a copy of her August blood tests.

Yesterday's condo is here.

Grace

sounds more like it was hanging on to her.... fur maybe.... as she tried to escape.....leaving it here , there and everywhere... :roll:

I agree with Rhiannon about it hanging on her. I hope that the vet visit isn't necessary and she feels good tomorrow.

Hi Rhiannon and Elise - I think you're right, but poo problems are a signal to me as they have been related to anal gland issues. I'm also worried about her bad breath (maybe teeth issues) and increasing weakness in all four legs.
 
Re: 10/11 Angie pmps=142

I slept most of the day today and am feeling awake and alert so I decided to shoot her lovely blue pmps. I'll test her again at +2 and I'm ready to keep testing till her numbers start coming up again.

Fingers crossed this dose will help. She seems to do well on each dose for a day or so but then need an increase again. Is that common? I think we're getting closer anyway.
 
I also get a much lower number if there is not enough blood (and my meter doesn't always give an error message) or if the strip draws oddly.

Wow....I wrote a response on your condo yesterday but it's not there. I also discussed the wobbly legs.

Diabetic cats often have lower blood potassium because the insulin causes the potassium to be taken up by the cells. Contrast this to CKD cats where the CKD causes a depletion of potassium in the cells so whatever the blood potassium level is, the cellular level is less. Thus many CKD cats require potassium supplementation.

I would have the labs done and see what your vet says.

Hope you rest and have a great day!
