Well, dd & I survived 2 very long days at her swim meet! Morris travelled well with us yesterday, but he sure was panting a lot (do cats do that when they are too hot like dogs do?). I thought all the action at the meet would stress him & he would have high BG numbers.....he surprised me instead with low numbers! Today, even though I had to leave early, I decided to leave Morris at home. I managed to convince dh to give Morris his insulin shot for me (I drew it up before I left for the day). Dh is still not ready to do BG testing, so I checked Morris level before I left to make sure it would be OK for him to give the insulin.

I forgot to give Morris his bupe last night, so I decided to see how he would do without it. He does not seem to be any worse without it, so hopefully that means he is getting better! I still have a bit of injectable pepcid & SQ fluids left, so I am still continuing on with both of those. During his last flare, it was the mirtz that we stopped last, so I will still give him another dose of that tomorrow evening.

Checking in on his P's.....the only P that seems to still be missing is playing. Perhaps because the meds are making him more tired? Maybe he is bored with his toys?
 
Hi Gwen,
Glad to see Morris made it through the travels. Latte had some open mouth breathing on the way home from the vet a few weeks ago. I turned her right around (it was 90 degrees and the air had just gone out in my car...only live 1 mile, tho). They thought it was heat related. After sitting at the vets too cool down for a while, I never saw it happen again. Im guessing what you are explaining with panting is the same as open mouth breathing???

Vet stress can lower bg's. I imagine if one is susceptible to 'vet stress' lowering them, any kind of stress could do that. So its possible that helped Morris along sugar wise?!??!

Glad your DH was able to shoot! Slowly but surely, maybe he will be able to help take a load off and test at some point.

Hope your DD did great at the meet and you had a fun time.
