? Amethyst 07/15/2018 PMPS 200 Can Pain Increase BG?

She is miserable! Thank you for the advice

 

Pamela make sure you take care of you and get some rest
I know how exhausting it can be to test all day and all night. You take such good care of Amethyst but trust the numbers when they are rising get some sleep

Lets see some more green today Amethyst

 

THanks I am overly cautious She and her brother are my world Do not want any thing to happen to them

 

Beautiful cycle last night Amethyst! Take it easy today and let your momma bean catch a nap!

 

Looking good!

 

Thanks she is

 

Thanks She unfortunately has Urine Scalding Do you know any home remedies?

 

Pamela, I did a search on what urine scalding was, I had never heard of it. Nothing was found for cats but did find this for rabbits .

After reading through it, I wonder if HALO Pets Derma Dream Natural Healing Salve would help. I use it on Gizmo's ears and it works wonderful.

Ingredients: Vegetable oils (soy oil, almond oil, castor oil, coconut oil, avocado oil), beeswax, squalene, carnuba (palm) wax, vitamin A (beta-carotene)-5,000 IU, vitamin D - 600 IU, vitamin E (d-alpha tocopherol) - 5,000 IU, calendula (marigold), aloe, comfrey, tea tree oil, myrrh gum oil and lavender oil.

 

Thanks I use for Amethyst ears also I think I am going to try it she is miserable

 

That isn't good. Hope what you have works. I was thinking Zincofax...it is used for babies with diaper rash. Always keep some around for sun burns.

 

I don't think zinc is good for kitties.

Another thing that was mentioned a few times was Bag Blam

 

Hi THanks She had it last year around this time,I had a car then and rushed her to the hospital That is how I know she has it again,they gave her an ointment and powder I called our Mobile Vet she will call me back tomorrow but does not have any thing opened until Thursday Amethyst can not wait that long I read where Honey works so I put some of that on and now I just put some Herbal Healing Salve on. She is now running away from me

 

Didnt know that. Thanks.

 

Thanks Lizzie BagBalm is suppose to be wonderful

 

The quick answer is "yes" -- pain can cause numbers to rise. Any form of stress -- pain, illness, etc. -- causes the release of stress hormones and they raise BG numbers.

Take look at this post on Pet Wiki about incontinence and urine scalding. Vasoline is safe to use with cats. Also, if you have Neosporin with pain relief, that may also be an option. If you used honey, Amethyst is going to lick it off and her numbers will zoom up. (I would frequently use honey to bring Gabby out of low numbers.) The article recommends Desitin -- it's not appropriate for cats since it contains zinc.

 

Poor baby. I hope the healing herbal salve will help her. I have used aloe vera sunburn relief ( CVS brand is cheapest) on my animals for different reasons with great results. The aloe is healing and calming and there is lidocaine in the formula which numbs and gives a lot of relief.

Good luck!

 

Thank you

 

Thank you The Neosporin I have contains Zinc. I put vaseline on her all yesterday and last night Did not help. However I did put the Herbal Healing Sauve on her 2 hours ago and she has calmed down and is finally sleeping She is exhausted

 

I'm glad you found something! Neosporin also comes in an ointment vs a cream. The ointment is in a base that's more like Vasoline.

 

Glad something has helped relieve her discomfort.

 

Thanks

 

Thanks

 

Sending prayers.

 

THank you she needs them
