Okay... now I'm nailbite_smile :shock: nailbite_smile really scared.
Shadow hasn't had numbers in the 60's since she went otj.

Right now I want to take her in for an ultrasound altho' I don't know if I can afford one right now or how much it would cost.
( and if only they had a full body scan)

why why why why why.....

Ever since I learned that cancer eats sugar ...

I even tested again after thinking about it to see if it was just a fluke... maybe a bad strip....



I really want a scanner now.... like the kind they have in Star Trek.....
nailbite_smile nailbite_smile nailbite_smile :YMSIGH: nailbite_smile nailbite_smile
 
She is looking beautiful. Please...try not to scare yourself! Sometimes too much knowledge is not a good thing!! I'm sure that even though Shadow is OTJ, she has days when her pancreas is more active than others, just like our OnTJ kitties can respond differently cycle-to-cycle on the same dose. Sending calming vines your way!!
 
I'm trying to tell myself it's just a crisis in my head.... like Barb says with Checkers today.

But if she makes it to 50's in the next week or two....

Y'all will have to pry me out of the tissue box.

Shadow just isn't a low number girl....never has been...
 
NO nailbite_smile
everything gonna be alright.those look like nice numbers to me. <3 :smile:
 
No No NOOOO....no freak outs are allowed when the numbers are good. But what if you took her to an airport and sent her through an xray machine - maybe you could see something (or NOT) and let yourself relax! I know, silly thinking. I am sure if you brought her in for a scan they'd have to sedate her, stress her out and drive her numbers right back up again and then you'd be right back where you started again. Just focus on the fact that, she's a CAT, and that's why. :roll:

WORRY DEMONS BE GONE!!!
 
Are you all healed from your surgery? Any pain meds left, that might be a shortcut to chill-ville for you! LOL

I get it though. I am like that with my dog. She is the love of my life and is now 14. I thank God every day for giving me one more day with her. For the most part she is still healthy but has had some mystery issues that are consistent with growing old. She pants incessantly, even when it's cold out and her liver enzymes have been increasing year over year which is consistent with old age. I had her tested for Cushings which came back negative (yay), she's not obese and there are no other signs of lung/heart issues so it's been a mystery for years. I blame meno-paws! :lol: She's old and things just don't work like they used to (I witness this every day with my own subtle signs of aging). But I always think the worst whenever she as much as sneezes or blinks her eyes at me. @-) And I've been this way since she turned 8. Over protective mom...LOL

But I don't look at it as a bad thing! I've probably had her this long BECAUSE I am that way!
 
believe it or not.... my teeth and nose are still hurting.
a teenie tiny bit better each day but it sure is progressing slow.

We had a dog with cancer just a few years ago....
He had a mass between his heart and lungs... and by the time we found out... it was inoperable. He had troubles with breathing... obviously and
the real clue ( hindsite) was when my dh would go running. A few years earlier the dog just laid down on the sidewalk right in the middle of the run.
My dh wishes he would have realized that something wasn't right then.

I'm with you. I count everyday as a blessing.
Shadow has lived longer than any personal pet I've ever had and now I know they can make it really long so I'm hoping and a praying...
It's just that she had a infiltrative lipoma a few years ago and they like to come back for a repeat performance.
That dog had a lipoma that was nothing...just a fatty tumor .. and then weeks later it was cancer.


guess you don't know my Indian name...
It's Grasps at Straws
:lol: :YMSIGH:
 
The pure torture of loving an animal is knowing there is a day when you have to say goodbye. All we can do in the meantime is give them the best possible life that we can so when that time comes we can look back with no regrets. I see so many horrible stories of abuse and neglect that I can't even fathom and all I can do is love my babies even more. My first dog lived to be a month shy of his 18th bday. I am convinced he lived that long cuz he loved the life we gave to him. That's just crazy old for a dog. If only we could create a forever pill so that they'd never leave us.

I'm so sorry you are still in pain. That's got to be just awful for you, it's been a month!!! Are the doctors saying it's normal? Is there anything they can do for you in the meantime?
 
That seems like really good numbers, but I don't know if that's normal for OTJ cats. :)

Oh wow you're still hurting on your teeth? That sucks. I agree with Tonya, is that normal?

Here's healing and less-worrying wishes for you. cat_pet_icon
 
Try not to get upset, although just saying that won't help. I know. But deep breath and calming vines.

I admit it, I moved the vial of insulin in the fridge and the fumes must have made it over to your place :lol:

I hope you start feeling a lot better *really soon*!
 
(((Rhiannon))) I'm so sorry for your fear.
I get scared when I wake up feeling good. :lol: :roll: Ya know, the calm before the storm.
I DO understand. I wish I had magical words for you, but no matter what we say, you'll feel what you feel. :YMHUG:
 
Hi Rhiannon. My girl had some numbers in the 60's when she went OTJ and that was 4 years ago. She didn't have a health issues and still doesn't. Try not to worry!

Thanks for the tips on blocking underneath the bed. I am gonna do that. My little guy gets to upset when he has to take meds.

Have a good day!

Rhiannon, you don't know that for sure. You have no idea what sort of numbers she had prediabetes, right? Bob usually tests in the 55-70 range on the rare occasions that he gets tested. Try not to "borrow trouble". Each day is a blessing. :-D
 
Just to throw another idea at you, I remember reading somewhere on here than the numbers can be seasonal. Shadow went OTJ in the winter with her winter numbers. Maybe she's changed over to her summer wardrobe?

We definitely have a winter/summer weight thing going at my place. Which might also impact numbers.

:YMHUG: :YMHUG:
 
Hey! Nothing wrong with these pretty numbers! But I can relate to being nervous .. once mocha went off OTJ she was throwing us low 40's like it was the norm nailbite_smile Some days I check mocha and she's in the 60's other days, like a few days ago, she was in the 40's .. You can check out her SS .. She doesn't vary by a ton, but she does throw us lower then normal numbers every once in awhile too!
