Heya!
BrandyMon2AFew needs a bit of guidance with a FD cat she inherited over on the main forum.
Ok Bingo's old vet called and spoke with me. He is apparently supposed to be on 11 BID because of the food he eats, they apparently tried the prescription diet but he wouldn't eat it.
I offered him 9lives with eggs in it and he devoured it so I don't think he'll be a hard convert.
I asked if they had tried home testing and apparently he spazzes out if you prick his ear (this was in the office though so he might respond better in a home environment)
She recommended I switch to a lower carb food if he'll allow it and keep him at 11 BID for 3 weeks and then get his levels checked at the vet. Though if I am switching food shouldn't I adjust his insulin?
Going to call my vet now.
OK just got off the phone with the vet tech. They want to see me on Thursday so hopefully he has calmed down some by then. They aren't going to do a draw but are going to do some guide lines for me. They said with the low carb food I need to adjust it by watching his behavior so less if seems lethargic and more if increased urine is noticed.
I feel so overwhelmed. Why can't this be a simple case of the worms that I treat with a pill today and another two weeks from now?
