4-30 Panzer PMPS 228/248@+4 /274@+8Question about dose 0.5 units

Poor baby, I feel awful for him ♥
I know I do too. He's still having little head jerks but the vet won't give me Buprenorphine for him. He said something about giving him gabepentin but it's liquid & I'm by myself & when me & my roommate were giving it to him before I moved for vet visits to the vet I fired he was impossible to give liquid. Foamed at the mouth & all it did was chill him out for a couple of hours.
 
Perfect! I feel bad for Spook too, yes I know you took both of them to the vet
You gotta be exhausted . I'm praying for both of them to feel better soon
That UTI better be gone after he finishes the doxy
Thank you yes I am. It better poor baby. Both of there bloodwork is showing that they are heading towards kidney disease. I pray there just elevated because they don't feel good.
 
It's a sign that he's in pain.
Jesus Christ! Why don't you call the vet again and ask for the
Buprenorphine, tell him that the gaba isn't working and he foams at the mouth from it and it's not lasting very long , you can't stand to see him in pain and you have enough to deal with having both of them sick , beg him, start crying if you have to,tell him he's jerking alot

I didn't get any gabepentin because I can't give it to him by myself, so he has nothing for pain. I did find out that I can get it compounded into an ear ointment by Wedgewood pharmacy but the vet is closed until Monday & would probably tell me no. I do have onsior 6mg tablets give 2 tablets by mouth daily for pain. I heard they are a no no though?
 
The buprenorphine that is. I plan on calling on Monday to see if they can do that, but I doubt they will. My state was the last state to make it legal to buy alcohol on Sunday. Every time I mention buprenorphine to him he says he can't prescribe it because it's a narcotic.
 
I'm still confused about where I'm supposed to pull the syringe to I've posted some pics on the FB group.

Here is the pic you sent Bron, do you see the short line on the left under the long line on top(the first line) That small line on the left is 0.5 units. you bring the top of the syringe right on that line

That doesn't seem like enough insulin? His #s are sky high, I understand that Lantus is a depot insulin & it takes days for the depot to build up. I feel like I'm risking DKA with that small of a dose & if I go higher I'm risking a hypo. I don't know what to do! He's absolutely miserable, my poor boy!
 
I just put 0.5 of prozinc in the U-100 syringe & shot into the sink. I'm going to go with the lantus at shot time in 10mins.
 
We are back in the blues @+3 yah! Thank you to everyone who helped me on here this morning & I'm sorry if I came off as a little crazy. I'm just really stressed out with 2 sick kitty's. I also got some not so good news about my own health. So stress on top of stress, I'm anemic & my pap smear was abnormal. It was a 1 a 3 is cancer, so they will repeat pap in 6mons, bloodwork in 2mons. I haven't been able to start on my meds yet due to low finances at the moment, but I will get it on Monday.

It is enough :cat: The depot takes 5-7 days for the lantus to build up, just be patient and stay with the lantus

Oh Christina I'm sorry to hear about your pap test, I'm praying that the next pap will be normal and the blood work will be ok.
What do you have to take for the anemia , iron shots?
You must be so run down.
I'm so happy to see those blues tonight, give the lantus time to build up
Hang in there Christina ok. Sending you lots of hugs :bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug:

Wow that is alot of good information. I have had several of those procedures done throughout my life. HPV was negative thank God. About 9yrs ago I was told I have cysts on my ovaries & cervix. They recommend I don't remember the name of it but it consisted of zapping my cervix. I read up on it & concluded that it eventually leads to a hysterectomy so I opted to get on birth control. This all started with constant heavy bleeding & cramps(menopause)The birth control has worked up until about a year ago. My menstrual cycles are a nightmare. I might as well live on the toilet for 2 days, it is bad bad!!! My tubes have been tied since Aug of 2002. I told my doctor I would like to have a hysterectomy but I have no one to take care of Panzer & Spook for a hospital stay. Also I have no one to pay my bills for the 6wks I would have to take off of work. So the plan is for me to stay on birth control until I'm 50 which will be in January coming up. Then she said I should be done with menopause & if not we would go from there. That's why I'm anemic I'm losing to much blood during my cycle. She wants me to start taking 2 iron pills a day, 1 magnesium pill, & a vitamin c gummy. Yes I was very happy to see the blues for Panzer tonight, hopefully his numbers continue to improve. I just have to be patient & let the insulin & Panzers little body do it's thing. I'm just an over worrier when it comes to my boys.
 
Christina I feel so awful you have had all those health issues
No wonder why you're anemic.
Being short on funds really sucks, I know, I'm in the same boat you are
We need to hit the dam lottery !
I just hope everything turns out good for you and both Panzer and Spook :bighug::bighug::bighug:
