When is the insulin due?
Have you tested for ketones today?

Was due an hour ago. Negative ketones today. He has just eaten half a can of wet food.

I think you could go ahead and give the dose of insulin. He looks like he is bouncing from the greens last night. You can always feed the curve. If he does vomit again or refuses food, you can rub honey on his gums to keep the BG up high enough to be safe. Do you feel comfortable doing that.?
Good no ketones…good boy Benny!
I will be around for 3 more hours and Bhooma @Bandit's Mom will be around for several hours so we can help you if needed.
keep us in the loop.

Yes, I will give him the insulin. I played with him for a while and then he ate. I will feed again in an hour. Thank you @Bron and Sheba (GA) !

If it was a hairball, the problem may have gone away.

Great greens the other night, very happy ketones are negative
I just wanted to share with you what worked for us with hairball. We are giving Chico 1 egg yolk in 2-3 days, works like magic. He didnt’t have an episode for over 3 months (huge antijinx) even though we didn’t give him the yolk for a while already
good luck

Yes he ate afterwards although not a lot during the night. I have the magic wand. He has a wand cat toy that he pleads with us to play with him. If I am worried about him, I move the wand. He had 1/3 can for breakfast. It is shot time 3 hours later and he is not interested. He wants to get out to eat grass. I am delaying the shot until 12 hours from last nights one until he eats again.

Did you give him an antinausea medication?

Well....bit of a disaster. He got it caught in mouth and it dissolved causing lip smacking and drooling! I gave him 5ml of water by syringe to try and get rid of taste. He has now forgiven me. Eating small amounts. I gave the Mirtazapine ok though.

Off to the vets again today for Billy Cartrophen! Non stop cat duties! Thank you for being there @Bron and Sheba (GA) I cannot tell you how much it helps.

It’s a pleasure to help you. We get very fond of our FD kitties and love it when we see positive progress. Hopefully Benny will come down off the trampoline soon after all those lovely green numbers. Time to get down to business again Benny!
I used to give cartrophen to Sheba for her arthritis. Hope it helps Billy.

@Bron and Sheba (GA) @tiffmaxee Benny was 20.2 at +10 and is 12.9 amps. Not sure what to do?. I think 2.2 will make him hypo.
