feel like crying today. we had a whole bunch of "yellow" numbers and then back to 343. and 1 of my civies is sick and they can't figure out what's wrong with her. taking her 4 ultrasound tomorrow. i get so upset when they are sick. i feel their suffering. i wish i had a magic wand to make all of our animals better (lol) but i can only do what i can. i can't take having them suffer at all. i want to make it go away right now. thanks 4 letting me rant. just a rough day. at least Tibbsy feels and acts better even tho his numbers aren't. we will keep on trying. thanks

Some days they just do that. Look at my Autumn and Cassanova. Something as little as getting ear drops shot them both to the moon.

yes. i can't believe that stress did that to your guys. let me know if u want me to over night a hav a hart trap to you for the feral kitty. i have lots of different sizes
 
sry u r having a bad day nadine. tibbs is a cutie. being a pawrent is stressful at times, and moreso with special needs furkids, and other situations. hope u all feel bttr soon.
 
thanks pam. i just feel so bad for him and his sister and wish i could do something to make them better. u feel so helpless . just want my babies better. and i know i am doing everything i can. just feeling sad for them today
 
I'm so sorry for all you're going through with your kitties. It is so disheartening to see the ups-and-downs and not even know what brings them on, then to have another one of your babies get sick--no wonder you feel overloaded. I will say prayers for you and your kitty family. I have a "feel-like-bursting-into-tears day" at least once a week because we can't seem to get Donut regulated either. Thank goodness Tibbs acts like he feels good. Someone on the board told me that that indicates that the insulin is slowly getting in and doing its job even if those darn numbers don't quite show it yet. Try to take one day at a time, easier said than done, I know, but you're in a good place for support. Please post how your other kitty is going after the vet. All paws crossed here.

Nadine it wasn't stress that shot mine up its that the drops contains a mild steroid. Steroids and diabetes don't mix well. But sometimes you have to pick what to treat and work around that diabetes. I can shoot more insulin but I can't kill the mites without the steroids and I can't leave them untreated because they can cause infection and loss of hearing.

It all becomes a balancing act.

Nadine, I know how you feel! Our dog is sick right now (possible liver disease/failure) and it's been so hard dealing with everything while knowing that he's miserable despite all of our efforts to make him feel better. I just try to take heart in knowing that they can absolutely tell that we love them, even if we can't fix their medical problems with a twitch of the nose like we wish. I hope tomorrow feels better, but there's no shame in feeling lousy today.
 
thanks so much molly and katie. i hope your babies get better soon too . sending prayers and healing thoughts to all of you.
and mel, i didn't know that steroids effect diabetes. i hope they get better fast and back to normal

thanks everyone

yw nadine. i wish i wasnt so sensitive to my animals (all animals) and how they feel. it makes it harder i guess. i see other ppl here must be the same way, tho. we all need each other for support, prayers, etc.
 
hi Pam. yes it def makes it harder. we had 2 die this year. both were very sick with cancer and i was devastated that they were gone but at the same time i was happy that their suffering was over. watching them in pain just destroys me. i also wish i weren't so sensitive but that's not going to happen. i am really happy to have found this group so we animal people can support eachother. i start reading the threads of those whose animals have passed on and i am in a puddle on the floor. but it's still worth it to know these beautiful creatures. Big Hugs to you !!!!

i know what u mean! hard to evn read those. i hate to think of the day whn i will lose 1 of my 7 babies. hopefully later, than sooner. hugs
 
Nadine,
I know how you feel. I am upset with Calley's numbers today too. Well I am upset with a lot of her numbers as they are up and down and up and down like a roller coaster and I had such high hopes that the change to Lantus would bring her under control and I would see a positive change.

Calley's AMPS was 371 today...after a few lower numbers yesterday. Then her PMPS was 219 and her +6 was 258. :(

I feel your pain and send my support....hugs
