Rupert *looks* okay but is definitely sluggish today. Didn't come and get me and was still in his spot on the couch when I came down. Ate all his breakfast though. Now he's camped out under the dining room table near the water bowl although doesn't appear to be drinking a lot. His coat looks not bad, he's alert and looks 'normal', just not quite as active. His eyes have a slightly sunken worried look today. Moving just fine, not desperate to go out and pee.
sigh. I'm at my wits end with this. Wondering if his body is really really fighting the insulin (not as in 'resistant' because we know sometimes it works)... what if it's too much? Can't believe I'm saying this because instinct suggests I should give him MORE.. but wondering if I should cut the dose back down.. to something like 1u and work UP from there? the worry of course is if he stays in these high numbers he'll get ketones (none yet,or in his history)...but wondering if his body is just in permanent 'panic' mode? thoughts? I dunno. pretty much open to suggestions at this point. If it wasn't for those blues yesterday I'd be back in 'blame the insulin' mode. I started this vial April 15, so it should still be good.
of course, if I mention the threat of a doseCREASE he'll come down on his own.. for a nano second. Guess I just keep reminding myself that he's alive and happy and that's the main thing. Grrr. the control-freak in me is NOT handling this well though! :lol:
serious shout outs from other kitties on prettier floors required today please!
off to feed the horsies now.
