Thank you, thank you, thank you, DCIN!!! All fingers and paws crossed for Ichiro, everybody is pulling for him to get well! Sending prayers for you and Ichiro, Siameselove, and also for the folks at DCIN - you are true heros! :bighug::bighug::bighug:
 
It's called Feline Diabetes. No dosing advice is given there, but it's a good way to get people here.

Let us know how things go for Ichiro!

Yes they do, but what usually happens in cases like this is they set up a Go Fund Me account you can donate to that's earmarked for the specific cat they're helping

Will someone post it here? If everyone donated 5 bucks...... Hey, that is how my Bubba just got his recent surgery. A friend set up a go fund me and instead of raising the 2k, I had a vet gift his services for much less and he is awesome! My whole gang will go there from now on.
 
I'm so glad to see this. I hope you'll give us an update on your sweet Ichiro when you know something.

If he's got ketones, you can deal with it if you are very committed. It takes feeding, lots of water, perhaps sub-cutaneous fluids, and learning to hometest. You've got to know what his blood sugar is so you can adjust the dose.

The recipe for ketones is "not enough insulin + not enough food + infection/inflammation or systemic stress." Here is a link to an explanation of ketones and its complications.

Cats typically need their insulin dose adjusted - they don't usually stay at the same amount for long periods of time.

Big hugs to you, and kudos to all the folks stepping up to help you. :bighug:
 
OMG I just read all this and I wanted to jump on a plane and scoop up both of them and go to the ER. Amazing how all of you had resources available to help her. Put me in for donation. When the info is available someone please let me know. I hope she updates us.
 
Please consider donating as ichiro'a circumstances are similar to my Sabrina's dka dx in February of this year. I was financially tapped out (dka in July 2014) & was faced with the decision to fight for her or pts. Dcin was my go to for support & she recovered wonderfully. Unfortunately she crossed over the rainbow bridge on October 10th due to squamous cell carcinoma, tumor under her tongue. I'm trying to pay forward to promote the awesome job DCIN & FDMB do for the love of our kitties. Please consider donating, every $1.00 helps, whether it's realized or not. God Bless you all! Cindy & Angel Sabrina

I'm so sorry to hear about your Sabrina!
 
I'm glad he's gotten help but I just had a thought. If the cat hasn't been seen by a vet and she wasn't home testing and still giving the Lantus is it possible he is hypo?? I guess in this situation there is no way to know.
 
Everyone here is amazing. I hope Ichiro recovers quickly!

We will set up a cat specific fundraiser for Ichiro in the morning but to donate now (and avoid us having to pay fees) you can send money via PayPal to donate@dcin.info and just put Ichiro in the comments box. Thank you so much!!

I just sent a small donation to DCIN. It's not much but as @Bobbie And Bubba says, if everyone who is able to can donate a small amount, maybe that will help cover Ichiro's vet bill. Good luck to Diana and Ichiro!
 
Just saw an update on Facebook

Unfortunately, Ichiro didn't make it :(

Fly free sweet Ichiro, and land softly....there are many at the bridge to welcome you and keep you company until the one you love most comes to be with you forever cat_wings>o
 
I'm so sorry to hear the sad news. Diana, Ichiro will always live on in your heart.

Fly free, sweet Ichiro, wishing you peaceful and pain-free travels on the journey to your new life at the Bridge. cat_wings>o
