Whew, back down to under 200. Makes this kitty mama feel better... I am shooting 0.65-0.75u (so freakin' hard to tell on these syringes)... But other than peeing inappropriately sometime between 5-10pm, Missy is just fine.

Happy Friday EVE everyone!

Ugh, so the manpanion gets home from his AM walk, and finds poop (fortunately solid) in the entry way (YAY!) and pee under the table again. I know its Lee b/c it does not smell at all like pee. Great... I'm hoping this is still isolated but dammit I'm worried... One time is meh ok, but this is two days in a row? All other factors are eliminated as far as I know, boxes are clean, she seems fine (no hypo), no other changes.

Note - must buy those urine test strips...

Magnifiers are very helpful with this!
 
Oh you should see what I go through to measure doses here....contact lens in, reading glasses on and a syringe magnifier just to make sure that I am precisely right on the mark.

Mel - I should really get one for this! I am sure someone would have found it by now, but are we totally sure there aren't smaller increment syringes out there?
 
For research labs, you can get sterilizable, re-useable syringes ... but you need expensive autoclave equipment and the syringes are very pricey, too.

Here's a company: Hamilton Company

Syringe spec page

For home use, they don't make them.
 
Not only are those pricey but those are harpoons for needle gauges...ouch! I think the smallest I saw on that page was 26 gauge that's a big hole! Your standard pierced earring post is a 22 gauge to and the needles we use are either 30 or 31 gauge. The smaller the number when you are talking gauge the bigger the hole it makes.

So while we all wish there was something with smaller markings for our purposes there really isn't anything decent on the market. Sigh! Which you know with the increase of both childhood and companion animal diabetes on the rise you'd think someone could make a small fortune on designing and marketing something like that.
