Last condo Sheba was a bit off her food and a bit quiet. An hour before PMPS she had 2 vomits and immediately seemed better. Her appetite seemed back to normal soon afterwards. I was not sure if she was going to vomit more so at PMPS I fed her and delayed the insulin by one hour to make sure she kept it down.
She is not one to vomit except if she bolts down her food, and early in the morning or just before dinner. It is either frothy or liquid and I am sure it is from excess acid in the tummy. She usually only vomits the once though so the two big vomits were unusual. She has done this intermittently for at least two or more years. I can usually manage it by making sure she has a little bit of food in her tummy all the time and it usually only happens every so often.
She had an apt at the vet for her cartrophen booster for arthritis this morning, so I mentioned the acid tummy and vomiting. She is going to have losec for 4 days and then trial carafate to see if it helps. I think you call it something else in the UK and US. It is a protector. I asked him if it would be ok to give slippery elm bark powder but he had not heard it used for that....he will look into it. I don't know much about SEB so would be really interested if someone could fill me in on the benefits of it in relation to acid tummies please.
I took in my auto feeder to show the vet as he had asked if he could see it. Both he and the vet nurses were really interested in it....thought it was great......and I am going to send them the link. They all said it would be good for their cats as well as diabetic cats.
I was taking Sheba's bsl today and my 7 year old dgd said "what is it.......I hope she didn't drop too quickly"
I had to smile........ All the kids understand the bsl numbers and often ask what it is. They know they can't drop food on the floor and why and will always tell me if they see Sheba eating anything off the floor.
Sheba had a great cycle yesterday morning and then bounced last night........I can't see why though.....still high AMPS today but diving down now.....100 points between +3.5 and +4.5.
Have given her a drop of honey to slow the drop but she will probably bounce again from that 100 points drop in one hour.
She seems well again today....doesn't like the vet visits..and always glad to be home again.
