Abnormal symptoms after teeth extraction?

Good work, yeah for Ari. The transdermal BUPE I get is like toothpaste preloaded into a long thin syringe. It comes with tiny long handled spoons and it's on the back of the spoon you apply the BUPE. That way you can also fold the ear around the spoon to get all the meds off. Each syringe comes with a big button like plug/stopper so you can plop the syringe back in using just one hand. Some of the spoons I got needed a little buff with an emery board because of rough spots. (My wife's emery board, no snickering!)
 
Hi! So this will be my last update, I think

Ari has made an almost full recovery! He's back to eating/drinking normally on his own and has had his first solid stool today! He's finally back to his old self!
Next step will be starting his insulin, since the BG readings I'm getting with the Alphatrack meter (which I've finally received!) are significantly higher than what I had with my human meter...
I'll be starting that when I get back from my work trip and am available to monitor him. I'll probably start a thread for that when the time comes :)

Great update! What insulin will you be using?

The vet gave us a prescription for Lantus, I'm not sure about the dose/frequency yet. He said 2u twice a day at first, but after the pancreatitis episode, he recommended 1u once a day and to monitor closely. Ari has a check-up next saturday so we'll see then
 
This is great news! You'll get loads of help on the Lantus forum once you start giving insulin. I like your vet's advice to start at 1 u but twice a day is what we'd recommend. That's what my vet started Teasel on.

Yay!!

Come on over and introduce yourself and get up to speed on the protocols and get advise so when you are ready you are well educated! :bighug:

Have you started home testing yet? Gizmo has been on Lantus since 10/16 and doing great (though i think we are dealing with a pancreatitis flare right now). Feel free to check out his spreadsheet.

Will do! Yes, I'm home testing around once a day to get an idea of what his baseline is and how his new food is helping...

I hope Gizmo feels better soon!

I'll definitely post in the Lantus forum once I'm ready to start. I'm feeling really nervous about it, so any help will be welcome!
