We've hit a pink this morning with his AMPS 345. Home today, so I'll be able to spot check. Although going to the vet with send him back into the reds.
+2 414
+5 394

It's +7 now and we just got back from the vet. She gave him an antibiotic shot because he scratched the heck out of his neck with his allergies - the patch was 3x1 1/2" that looked like it could be infected. She explained that she can't give him his allergy shot because it is a steroid and that would send him BG super high. She also took a urine sample to see if he has a UTI. His teeth are in bad shape too. I gave her the food label from the Fancy Feast Kitten Turkey that we've been feeding him and she checked with the diabetes internist and it does have a high fat content which could be messing with his p'titis. She gave us two cans of Hills M/D and two cans of Purena Dietetic to try. I've read on other posts that these's aren't that great and have a lot of carbs...hmm. I'll probably skip these and look at Binky's food list for an alternative. Anyway, just wanted to give an update. She also confirmed that it was a good idea to start him over - made DH feel better! He was not on board with starting over at all. I explained to him that everyone on this board is living through this just like we are and our vet is not. He's mellowed out now that she told me that I did the right thing. And that is because of all the wonderful advice I recieved from you all. So thank you!!!
Nice to see some pinks too!
