Good Morning LL! I have been offline since Thursday. I had my vet appointment on Saturday to discuss getting the blood tests done for the arocat and iaa. Did not go very well. She is insisting that the samples must be shipped overnight at a cost of $50-$75.00 for the shipping. "Blood must be shipped overnight" I called the school in MI where the test are done and did not get very far there either, as the woman was very rude and I could tell did not want to take time in answering any questions. My vet said that Mary grace's 6 month blood work up is due next month so since I am on a very limited budget that that is where I should put my money at this point. Got the whole song in dance that it is very unlikely that Mary has any of those high dose conditions, only 1 out of every 10,000 cats do according to her. No matter what I tried to say about cats on this board and what other research suggests, she wasn't listening. In fact I really think she was smirking. Nonetheless, it was just a consultation appointment so Mary Grace was not with me ($49.00) and I showed her my spread sheets and she suggested that we may want to give her 3 shots a day of Lantus. I couldn't believe she would even suggest that. I just said that would never work with my work schedule and let that drop. But give a third shot just as her nadir is hitting? OMG! And it was toward the end of the appointment after she had been looking at the ss for awhile that she asked, now how many times are you testing? So I don't know how she was interpreting the ss to ask such a question. I then showed her how to read the ss. Frustrating!!!! I ended up making her appointment for 2 weeks from last Saturday for her lab work. Going to try and call MI school again and get more clarification on shipping because I really want those tests done. Oh and the vet said that any other endocrinology issues Mary may have (arocat, iaa) will be seen on the lab work. confused_cat :? :roll:
But Sunday brought the best numbers Mary has had so far!!!
She has 176 at PMPS and 156 at 2.5 and then 100 at +5, and 125 +6
Very happy that she is surfing more of the blues.
