Bowie was diagnosed about a month ago. After a failed trial on Bexacat and a trip to the ER he was started on .5u of Lantus, oral Cerenia and Mirataz because of the additional diagnosis of Pancreatits.
Following instructions from the vet, he did well for a couple of days and then had a bottoming out of his BG and spent two nights in the hospital.
Released and feeling better he started having diarrhea a couple of days later. We skipped two Lantus shots during this time.
We have had some challenges in these early stages.
Bup and Zofran were added recently and he seems to be a bit better. Not eating as much as we’d like, but eating with no more diarrhea.
He is back on 1u of Lantus BID, with the vet asking us to up that to 1.5u. Did 1.5 last night and BG dropped almost dangerously low. Scaled it back to 1u tonight.
Any other CG with experience managing this along with newly diagnosed diabetes at the same time?? Any insights on how long it lasted? Vet says we are doing everything we can and we’re wondering what else can we do. Thanks.
