I think this horrible +4 (162) is a bounce from going a wee bit too low at the vet yesterday. He was there for 4 hours while they got a pre-dental workup. I left FF for him, but I don't think he likes to eat at the vet. He is scheduled for his dental tomorrow (along with Simpkin) and I'm, of course, VERY NERVOUS! nailbite_smile THey are both 18.5 years old, both with CRI, both on SubQ fluids 2/week, Simpkin has a mild heart murmur and Brownie is FD! However, the vet will only be using isoflurane gas and has promised me that he will make every attempt to place an IV cath before the procedure, just in case they need it. He also said that they will monitor bp and glucose during the procedure. It has been 2.5 years since their last dental and they have lots of tartar and some gum inflamation, so I guess it really needs to be done. I will be giving them both 200cc subq fluids tonight and then again tomorrow night. Depending on Brownie's bgs tomorrow, I will either give him no dose in the am or 1/2 dose. Any comments or advice are welcome. Brownie can frequently go down into the 50's and 60's during the day (and that's with food!), so I'm definitely worried about that. I'll be calling them and making sure they get me some bg readings... Happy St. Patty's Day LL! Is everyone wearing their green????
