Caesar's having another episode where he's crashing. Brief background: Was instructed by his vet to give him 3 units ONCE a day. This actually worked great until today.
BG: 368 (3 units given, ProZinc)
2 hours later: 168
4 hours later, 8:20pm: 57 (Gave Karo on gums/tongue)
8:35pm: 64
8:50pm: 99
9:30pm: 139
Please help! Last time he fell low I took him into the vet and they gave him dextrose via IV, but I maxed out my credit card with that visit and they won't see him without upfront payment. I'm freaking out!
Edit: He has been on three units once a day for over a week now and hasn't crashed this hard from what I can tell, although this is the first glucose curve that I have been able to give him. He seems lethargic but is accepting a few bites of canned wet food, Friskies Patte. Also, if anyone is reading, could you please help me with how much Caro I should give? It says 2 tablespoons contains 10g of sugar.
Edit: (After 99) It seems like the Karo is really doing the trick. I'm not nearly as worried now, but I'm still concerned being that he's not reaching his peak yet.
