Good morning everyone
Seeing some lower 300's even with the increased food intake. He now gets 2.5 cans in the morning and 3-3.5 after work/Night.

He is more content now, 4 cans was not enough food for him. Waiting to hear back on the blood work that was taken.
I'm hoping some conistancy will help his numbers as I don't have major plans for a few weeks. I go back down to Mayo on Sept 1st and a Camping trip in two weeks and will need a couple substitutes then, but one here and one there, not 3-4 days straight.
 
Hi guys .. I'm glad to hear that tigger is more content with a little bit of extra fuds in his belly .. Will be hoping for good blood work results and that you get answers to all your questions .. have a great day!
 
Brent,
I am not sure if anyone's mentioned an auto feeder but it may help Tigger feel better if you can spread out his food through the day. You could divide up his daytime food into the compartments so he has even food available. I believe that human diabetics eat more frequently,small amounts - it could help to balance his BG.
It may help Tigger feel better too.
I am guessing you will be increasing his dose tonite as he's not getting better numbers on the 8u.
 
Just talked to the Vet, the blood work for Thyroid and everything they check came back normal.
I faxed over those tests for Acro and IAA yesterday and they are good to go with it. They called the place for more info and i will bring Tigger in Monday for that blood draw.
 
Have looked into the auto feeders, but haven't pulled the trigger on one yet.
I need some cash flow as its been a very expensive month and have to renew my Lantus in 3 weeks and have more Vet bills coming Monday.

Once I get caught up I will probably purchase one.

As for the dosing, the Vet wants me to stay at 8u but i have upped it to 8.5 today. I will see what that does this week and may hold there until I get the IAA and Acro tests back. But the numbers will determine that.

Ahhhhh, peace and quiet, Tigger is hammering away on a frozen puck. lol

Hi Brent,
good to hear on the normal!

I recommend the auto feeder too, took us a while to pick it up, turned out to be a good investment :-D
lots of good luck for monday next week and the next tests.
Have a good nite!
 
Glad the blood work came back normal and you can eliminate any thyroid problem.
Glad also that your vet is not giving you push-back on the Acro and IAA tests!
Hope the 8.5u brings Tiggers numbers down a bit.

Oh, and the timed feeder...was a lifesaver for us - I too recommend it.
