No april fools....

last night.... bg 144

ambg ~ 54 Yay!


Thank you for the birthday wishes yesterday.

We also went to the vet. I didn't want to rain on her birthday condo.

Shadow has had diarrhea for a week.... vet could feel her intestinal tract - said it felt braided almost.
Her anus is protuding.... so basically she has kitty hemorrhoids

new medication list.... ( and old) to treat ibd
Budesonide 1 mg 1 x day
Cerenia 5mg every other day ( pills, not shots)
Clay 1/8 tsp 2x a day
ondansetron up to 2x a day
cyproheptadine up to 2x a day
metronidazole 75 mg 2x a day
Gabapentin 1 ml/day
and still the adequan shot every 3 weeks


the gabapentin is new to me....
this vet doesn't like me using bupenorphine....
she doesn't seem to understand the ondansetron but isn't fighting me on that.
she prefers mirtzapine to cypro..... but I don't. Shadow is too fussy with it.
and the budesonide raises her bg....so I anticipate I will have to re-start insulin

I would imagine that this am's low number is that she didn't eat anything all night....
so I'm checking her and trying to get back to a real cycle routine of testing.... ( unsuccessful today)
I am having to discontinue a medication that makes it hard to wake up and that will take a few
days to wear off....

She has lost about 1/2 lb... at 11.98 now

we xrayed her to see if her lipoma was only on the outside of the rib and it was.
it has gotten flatter and seems to be attaching, not as free floating as it was.

and of course, she wants me to feed science diet A/d or some royal canin which I only remember that
one being high carbs.....


I have a lantus pen in the fridge, expires in July , ready to go.

one day at a time I guess..............
 
Not quite the birthday present Shadow was expecting! Many many vines for her and hopefully all will be right again soon.

Hugs and scritches,
Ella & Rusty
 
I hope that Shadow coming back is an April Fools joke. Ugh on the medicines list. I tried gabapentin on Neko and it. Didn't do much other than make her sleepy. ECID on pain relief though.

Happy belated birthday Shadow.
 
Diarrhea causes the straining/hemmorhoids,(at least it does in humans!) Poor sweet Shadow :oops::oops: Is that why she's taking metronodiazole- for the diarrhea? (that immediately stopped diarrhea when Tiger had it!) One side benefit of ondansetron, I think it is a little constipating, might counteract her diarrhea? I sure hope you don't have to re-start insulin, sending vines and prayers and hugs!
 
She'll be rattling when she walks! Happy belated birthday, sending anticipatory BG lowering vines to counteract the meds
 
that is why she is taking the metrodiazole.... has been for over a week, 2 x a day....
and now the clay....
and i give her freeze dried turkey in her bowl at night in case she won't eat her food..... that use to dry things up down there.


none of these are working so far......
 
Lots of vines these higher numbers are transitory. Lots going on, could be the cause?

And bushels upon bushels that your little girl gets back on track with everything soon.
