good morning all. Dropping by for some input here. As you can see, Spot is pretty high this morning, and there is a reason.....
Around 2:30 a.m. I was awaken by this horrid vomiting noise, got up to investigate and found Spot finishing up vomiting....I looked at it, it was his +7 snack and this HUGE fur ball, or at least what I thought was a fur ball. Upon further investigation, I found it to be a huge piece of paper towel...now why he ate a paper towel, i can't answer, but he did. I stayed up for a while to observe him...he threw up a little bit more of food, but stopped, and then just sat around for a bit. I was holding him for a while, he decided he didn't want that, left and went to his kitty condo and proceeded to nod off. He wasn't meatloafing or seem to be in any distress. When I offered him some fishy flakes, he ate them with gusto. I figured that if his appy was this good, he was ok, so I went off to bed, knowing that his ambg would be higher than usual.
Got up this morning and Spot is ok...had a case of zippy pants and is his usual, pacing self, when not zippying. He came right to the testing spot, purred purred purred, ate his treat and is now waiting for his breffis.
My question....should I give a drop more insulin on this? I'm thinking no because if he is ok, this should come down by itself, but I'm also thinking that the drop may help bring it down more. Any advise or input? I can wait a half hour before hooting, but he is going to eat now.
Thanks!!
 
Re: 3/3 Deb's Spot AMPS ~ 161 - EYES PLEASE - dose question

I would continue with the .10 He seems to be doing well with that dose. See how he is tonight when hes all settled down and then decide if he needs more. Im sure hacking up a paper towel could bring his number up.

Hi Deb,

You already have your answer about the dose, but I thought I would mention something about the paper towel. I have one Kitty who eats tissues on occasion. This happened one time when a friend of mine was over and she said one of her cats does the same thing when he has an upset stomach. So the next time I saw my kitty eating tissue I gave him a pepcid to settle his tummy. This might be an option for Spot but I can't remember if he has any other aliments that would effect this.

Poor Spot.
I hope he comes down (BG wise) from this experience just fine, by tonight.

thanks for your input guys.
Tina - This is the first time Spot ever ate something so strange . It's a mystery to me how he could have eaten that large of a piece of papertowel!! I'm starting to feel like I'm starving him...night before last the drooler woke me up in the middle of the night (she's my unofficial sheriff, btw) barking. When I got up to see what was going on, I found the trash can knocked over and Spot checking out the contents. So now I've got a dumpster diver and a paper towel consumer...go figure!! He has no other ailments, so I could give him pepcid if need be, I suppose.
Silly silly boy he is.
 
I think he went higher because he ate the paper towel & got upset because it made him feel pukey!!
What is Spot trying to be like Black Kitty(remember the paper towel eating pix?)?
Cut that out Spot!!--Hope he goes back to his usual lovely numbers!!
 
If I had to guess, I'd suspect there was something on the paper towel that Spot thought was edible. Either that or he wanted roughage (just kidding!). I'm glad he's OK. (Please have a discussion with Spot and remind him he's a carnivore. Paper towels are not meat, no matter what they may smell like. Silly cat!!)
 
(((Deb))) Sorry to hear that Spot was channelling Black Kitty! In his younger days, Bear used to help himself to all the Kleenex and toilet paper he wanted. Nowadays, he can't reach it. I hope it all passes smoothly, and he doesn't have too much impact from the "dry".

Hahahaha funny, Linda!
As you can see, Spot came down nicely from his late night/early morning ordeal. He is fine, thank goodness. He is sitting on the arm of the chair, one of his fav spots, purring up a storm and chillaxin.
