My cat's breatging rate is 68, his eyelids are a little open and his pupils are pin pricks. When I call for him they dilate again.
His BGL is 402 so it's not hypoglycemia.
Does anyone know if that's normal? Because I'm really worried.
He's not regulated yet.
 
I would not say that is normal. Is he struggling to breathe - are his sides moving really deep.

Have you done any testing for keytones?
 
Not breathing too deap.
And he isn't struggling to breathe. I check for ketones in his urine daily and no, there is none.
I went from 2 units to 1.5 because he had rebound hypoglycemia and then increased to 2 units again because he was getting worse. You can check the SS.
 
Great on the keytones.

Is he sitting still right now? If he is - count how many times his sides moves out and in. So one movement out and in counts as one. Count how many of those you get in a minute.

How is he otherwise?

I will take a look at your spreadsheet.
 
I would stick to the 2u for now. Looks like he bounced from that yellow during the afternoon today.

I am not seeing a hypo number in his SS, which day was the event?
 
I fed him a little and his rate dropped to 30. He's laying down right now. Don't know if I was overreacting, but I really panicked.

The low numbers you'll find in 17th February. He hit 70 and 60
 
You want to take the respiration rate when they are resting. I tested when kitty was snoozing. But not when dreaming. So many things like stress, being at vet's, etc. Can elevate the respiration rate. Below 30 is good.

He does nothing but rest. I hope he starts getting better soon.

Thank you all for your help!
