Ti-Mousse (GA) Pepe (GA)
Member Since 2018
Good morning,
It's been a long time since I posted! I had Covid (still very tired), Ti-Mousse is keeping me busy (acro), I'm taking care of my 97 y/o uncle and now civie Pepe decided I had too much spare time, so he's diabetes also!
Pepe was diagnosed with melanome in February. Ophtalmo needed a complete BW bf removing the eye. Results came back with CKD stage 3. Vet suggested waiting to stabilise kidneys. Another BW in May: CKD high end stage 2; I was happy but noticed his sugar was a little higher (187) than February (144).
He then started to stay near the kitchen sink, always wanted to drink (of course not using the Fountain I bought for him…) and having a ravenous appetite (not usual for CKD)! His left eye started leaking so went back to vet and he peed so much during the exam that I had another BW done! It confirmed what I expected but never that high (448).
Testing and shooting won't be easy with him. When he was a small kitten he was continuously beaten by previous owner, so he can't stand hands close to him, he grabs you and bites… quite normal !!
He's 15 y/o, 10 lbs (normal), eating same food as Ti-Mousse (LC canned food, no dry). Insulin: Levemir.
This morning he's at 322 (human meter FreeStyle Lite); tested ketones: negative!
I'm setting up his SS.
Vet will tell me about dosing but I definitely have more confidence in dosing advice I will get here. By experience with Ti-Mousse, I know I can't go wrong with the Forum !!
@Wendy&Neko Can you please help me with the starting dose for my little tux ?
