Nelli is having a difficult Time eating clearly because of the dental issues :-(. Her appointment with dentist is not until October 8, I am going to call them this morning and see if maybe the other dentist there could see her before then. Last night she didn’t finish her dinner, not because she didn’t want to eat or wasn’t hungry but because her mouth is really really bothering her. She’s doing that tub tub tub tub tub noisy behavior. This morning it has been an effort to get her to eat. She woke me up licking my hair which means she is hungry :-). Hopefully today will be a better day with the numbers at least!

I don't know if someone has already mentioned this - have you tried the blender/food processor and adding water or broth to liquify her food? Just wondering...poor thing...she needs her fuds...but that was a nice start this morning! Good for her for showing you 'she can do it'...!:bighug::bighug:
 
Well a blender did cross my mind… She eats Rad Cat though which is about 70% water and looks like throw up. LMAO!
I don’t know but I will try it maybe she will slurp it up?
 
Did not realize time! Need to run to Store meet customer for a drop off!
Back on board in 20 minutes.
I’m sorry, I would not have sent previous post yet!
Plz forgive.
 
Poor Nelli, I hope you can get her seen faster. Play the "Diabetic Cat " card and she is not eating for you so they prioritize her.

Also try baby food. All meat either chicken or turkey. When Bubba goes off his feed, I can usually get him to eat that.
 
Waiting to hear back from dental vet office. What told by receptionist this morning that both doctors were booked through the end of October :-( I will pull the geriatric diabetic chip from pocket :-) thanks for the idea!
@carfurby @Bobbie And Bubba +3 Nelli tested 58, I retested right away and she tested 65. Should I split the difference and record that, use the 58 or, use the 65?
I will be testing again at +5 (noon) unless otherwise advised ;)

Those two numbers are about the same with meter variance.

Yes, really play the Senior Diabetic cat card, you can't give insulin if she isn't eating, yatta yatta yatta. Is the Oct 8 visit for the actual dental or an exam/eval?

I think I would test at +4 since she is beyond onset and keep trying to get her to eat even if it's little amounts. Tuna, baby food, even lunch meat ( which usually has some sugar in it but use as a last resort) Try sprinkling some parm cheese on top.

I'm at work, so I may not be able to stay on. Feed a teaspoon of HC and test again in 15 minutes. If you can squeeze out just the gravy that will help keep her from getting full too fast.
 
Just keep giving her a little bit of HC and testing every 15 minutes. Do you have any honey or karo in case you need it?

If you Test her every 15 min and keep feeding the low numbers then you will get her too full and you will overcarb her.

Since you’ve fed her, I’d wait 20 mins from the last test and test again. If she is still low, just give he a couple more drops of syrup. Retest in 20.

We’ve found that it takes about 30 mins for food to affect the BG. It syrup will usually do it in 15-20.

I also don’t know if that kind of syrup will do the trick. Do you have honey, Karo, or maple syrup?

Ok thanks.
No but I can run out and get some honey

That is correct. It was (15m later) 5.25. Which was 15 minutes after I fed her w/d first X

So let’s keep it organized here to keep track of it (I went off the time stamps and the times you listed in the condo).

AMPS 154 (6:50 a.m.)
+3 65
+5 39 fed 1/3 can w/d (25% carbs)
+5.5 38 fed 1/3 can w/d (25% carbs), 2 drops syrup
+6.25 53

How many ounces is 1/3 can (I don’t know what size can you have).

Please take the 911 down. I’ll be here till she’s safe. Thank you.

Up Nelli! Looks like she's done with this dose! Congrats on the reduction. This came at the right time for you, Krystina with how upset you were last night about going higher with her dose. :bighug:

Glad Marje is here with you as I have to deal with my mom now.

When did you give the agave syrup, how many ounces is 1/3 can (I don’t know what size can you have).

Excellent !

Let’s retest in 30 minutes, ok? She’s had a lot of food and we need to give it time to work.

I’ll be here.
