PMPS is around 7:00 p.m., which is 20 min. away.I think he's just bouncing a little from the blues at night (but it's not a lot so you're probably in a good dose range!) I'm going to suggest we wait to see your PMPS before making a dose suggestion but hoping we can hold it
. PMPS time is about 3 1/2 hours away right?
I did not think about him bouncing, I just noticed he had better numbers at a lower dose. I wanted other people's opinion because I had given Buddy a higher dose and his BG # had went up.
I would like to work my way back, right after 7/17 Buddy quit eating and I have been giving him an appetite stimulant to get him to eat. I thought he was feeling better, but at PMPS tonight he is not wanting to eat even with an appetite stimulant. Do you think that raising his dose would make a difference, he ate very little.
Kris, I have been giving Buddy an appetite stimulant to get him to eat, I thought he was feeling better, tonight at PMPS he is not wanting to eat. I gave him an appetite stimulant a few hrs ago and he only ate a small amount. Would that make a difference in raising his dose.
ProZinc doesn't hit too fast, Teresa. Do you think he'll manage a tablespoon or two in the next two hours?
I don't know, he has not been feeling well.
Kris, I don't know. I have put Forti-Flora on his wet food and he still will not eat. I have been sitting in the floor and petting him, but all he has ate has been a few bites.
Does he show signs of nausea or pain? If you're concerned that he won't eat much or at all thonight you can either skip his shot or give a reduced dose. That's always a guessing game - half his recent dose range?
I just got him to take a few bites of FF, maybe he will eat some more of that. I am going to hold off and see if I can get him to eat some more. I will give him 5.6 if I can get him to eat if not I will give 5.5u
Will he nibble on YA over the evening? That should work.
Sometimes he does, but is not eating very much. I really hate to give him a half a dose, but I cannot tell what is going on.
I got him to eat some FF classic, so I gave him 5.6u.
I got Buddy to eat some FF classic, he was having nothing to do with his regular food. I gave 5.6u.
. He might go snack on some more later
thank you. The only thing I have got done since 7:00p.m. is trying to get Buddy to eat. Finally!!!I think he'll be OK Teresa
Are you up before work on FDMB, that is so wonderful of you. Some of you ladies I don't know how you manage everything. Have a great day !!
I like Rachel's suggestion, Teresa.
That is really nice ofyou.I figure I gotta be up anyway so what's a few minutes early so I can check in? I was the one needing early help before so I want to be here if others do.
Poor Buddy and poor you! Very likely reason for that red.
Did both of your kitty's get sick.
Yes, Poor me, 2 of my other cats have it too.
Yes, plus Buddy has another liquid to take with his pills.
At this dose level there's not a big difference between 5.6 and 5.7 u, Teresa. Try 5.7 u. How is he feeling? Is he still having diarrhea?
He Is not eating well, he has terrible gas, he has not had a bowel movement this morning. If his AMPS # had not been so high I would have left him at 5.6u. Lately, I have seen so much about cats getting sick from not enough food and insulin, we sure do not need anything else to deal with.
He probably doesn't have any poop left in him today, Teresa. The antibiotic might add to his GI distress. Let him eat whatever he wants until he's feeling better.
Yong, when you got your insulin from Canada how was it packaged, did it have any ice packs in the container.I hope the AB's help your babies feel better soon, Teresa
. Took about 4-5 days to arrive from Canada
What am I doing wrong when I give Buddy 5.6u he has been in the 300's. This morning I gave him 5.7u at 1.00 p.m. he was @278, at 5:15 p.m. he is @ 116. Now I need to raise him up so he can get a shot tonight, but what dose, one is not enough and the other is a little too much.
His PMPS shot is due at 8:00 p.m., I just happened to take a reading at 5:15 and he was at 116 so I feed him and waited for a while and checked him at 6:00 he was at 119 and at 6:52 he was at 115. I have been feeding him, he then would not eat, so I gave him some FF grilled.
There really isn't a significant difference between 5.6 u and 5.7 u, Teresa. The bigger issue right now is what his PMPS will be and what you can do. How about waiting to get that number and posting it right away here? I'll be checking in.
I will do that.
