5/6 Rosie AMPS 274 +3 166

[Carol in Chicago]

Poop problem has improved if I help. She will go in the box if I put her in it first thing in the AM and coax her to stay there for a minute or two. Litter box clearly is a source of stress for her (she starts breathing fast). Pumpkin and SEB onboard, probiotics and digestive enzymes on order.

I've been watching this closely so now the new worry is urine volume. Volume seems to be significantly smaller. She goes, just not much. She got AB shot for UTI 4/12, but feedback from experienced members suggested it have been done differently (should have done culture, convenia not good for UTI).

Blood sugar numbers are improving so maybe urination is naturally less? I won't think that would happen until we were seeing much lower numbers (less yellow / more blue). Need to know when to worry and what to do next, or if I should just keep moving ahead with the next dose increase to keep her numbers improving.

Yesterday.

Hi Carol, have you heard of d-mannose to help with UTI? @Squalliesmom also uses it as a preventative. I use this one https://www.amazon.com/NOW-Foods-73...unce/dp/B000HCMK90/?tag=felinediabetesfdmb-20

Callie's urine volume lessened fairly quickly once on insulin, even when her numbers were in pinks and reds. So she may just be improving. I hope so for you. There always seems to be something new to be concerned about, huh?!
