Happy Hallowe'en

Here is Eddie's story yesterday:

https://felinediabetes.com/FDMB/threads/10-30-eddie-amps-421-3-5-427-pmps-428.270240/

I am trying to get him to settle back into being home and a routine of food, medications, testing, etc. He is very suspicious. When I put his food down pre-shot (syringe on the counter) he starts eating but keeps stopping to look at me and I have to act as if I'm doing something else other than picking up the syringe and heading over to him. Of course, his reactions are linked to his being in hospital and being sedated more than once, so, of course, he thinks I'm up to something nefarious. I think he's also feeling the Prednisolone but will be on the higher dose for a limited time.

In the meantime, he has perked up considerably and does a walkabout in the house to pick out places where he choses to groom, sit, sleep, watch me, etc. I'm going to be increasing his does again in the next while, I'm sure and maybe his high BG is a setback but it's linked on the one hand to Prednisolone and on the other to whatever crazy dosing schedule he was on while in hospital.

One day at a time...

Hope it's not too noisy where you live. Neko HATED fireworks and spent the evening under the bed.

10 mg is not a huge dose of pred for a cat Eddie's size, but I'll still be glad to see him come off of it. That plus he's still on less than half a dose of insulin, so his body will feel off because of it. Tonight is dose 6 given by you, so that should put any crazy dosing at the hospital in the past and what BG's you see going forward is based on what insulin dose you've given.

There were some fireworks but Eddie, Blue and the rest of the clan can shelter in the back of the house where it's quieter than the street side.

I'll be glad to see the Pred be reduced again, too. I got up at PM +8 to test + give a snack and low and behold, he's at 158. Prior to testing he vomited a small amount of liquid but was ok to test and I gave him a TBSP LC food. It will be instructive to see what he is at AMPS in four hours.
