Hello-
I have 3 questions.
(1) Tomorrow I have to have an emergency dental procedure at the time of Maxi's morning insulin dose, which is 9:30. At that time, my roommate will test Maxi and give him his shot. His dose was recently increased, so we're in unfamiliar territory and not sure what his glucose number will be. Just in case his glucose is suddenly a lot lower than it has been, at what number should I tell my roommate *not* to give the shot?
(2) Maxi had tests at the vet's today, and the results are attached and some info. is added to his spreadsheet. The tests were done before his morning feeding and shot. Could you please take a look and let me know how you think he's doing (re. diabetes and kidney disease)?
Not all the info. from the attached results are on the spreadsheet.
Blood: I could not find anything about SDMA.
Fructosamine was 361 (range on printout: 191-349) -- HIGH
Glucose -- HIGH
MCHC -- HIGH
EOS -- HIGH
Urine: I could not find anything about USG. The urine test was last week, Feb. 12.
(3) Maxi's brother Rudi also went to the vet today for a check-up. Last summer, Rudi became very sick with diarrhea and he refused to eat. It persisted and the regular vet sent him to the specialist clinic, where he was diagnosed with and treated for pancreatitis. Thank goodness he recovered and has been fine since then. However, for the last month or so, he has been spitting up. He behaves like he's going to vomit, and then he just spits. No food or hair comes up. Only a bit of bubbly saliva comes up. Otherwise he seems fine: good appetite, good bowel movements and urination and behavior. The vet prescribed Cerenia. (1/2 of a 16mg tablet once daily as needed for vomiting, one hour prior to feeding; there are 8 days of tablets in the box) During Rudi's exam, the vet found that his tummy might be a little tender. She also found that he needs a dental, which is scheduled for one week from today. She said something in his blood test suggests inflammation, which could be from his teeth or it could be from his tummy. I dumbly didn't get a copy of Rudi's results. So, my question is, if he's not actually vomiting, and since he's eating well, do you think I should give him the Cerenia? Should I give it to him if he does that spitting thing again?
*Many thanks*
