Dealing with HYPO for the 1st time

[Tanya and Ducia]

I agree, please see if you can get someone to take you to the vet and like everyone said, take the honey with you so you can keep giving it to her as needed. Take the syringes you are using to confirm they are the correct ones and that you are clear about the dose.

How much honey is too much and much?

 

[Tanya and Ducia]

Less lethargic? Or yowling and lethargic?

odd mouth movements, tail tremble, same lethargic, howels stopped

 

[Nan & Amber (GA)]

We're concerned about the insulin dose, not the amount of honey. At this point, she needs the honey to keep BG up somewhat.

At the vet, they can put her on a glucose drip to maintain BG safely.

 

[Bobbie And Bubba]

How much honey is too much and much?

At this point, you can't give too much honey. We need to get those numbers up. If you could get a teaspoon or so into her at a time would help.

 

[Tanya and Ducia]

mouth moves as if hissing
what is it?
add more honey?

 

[Squalliesmom]

You need to keep giving her honey and, hopefully, if you have it, some high carb food until you can get her to the vet. It is critical to get her bg up at least to 50. The sooner you can get her to the vet the better. She needs emergency care.

 

[Tanya and Ducia]

she howeles after I put more honey

 

[Bobbie And Bubba]

odd mouth movements, tail tremble, same lethargic, howels stoppedT

She is exhibiting true hypo symptoms. Is there any way to get her to the vet immediately? Call a taxi?

 

[Judy and Boomer]

Hi Tanya, I agree you need to get Ducia to a vet. Either your own or an emergency clinic, whichever is closer. Can you take a cab? Take your meter, strips, and honey with you and keep giving Ducia the honey. If you can, call the vet/clinic and warn them you are on your way.

 

[billysmom (GA)]

If you can't get enough blood go for the vein. You don't usually want to do this but it's important now that you get a good sample. If you think ears might have honey on them then try the paw pad.

 

[Squalliesmom]

Tanya, this is really an emergency, she needs to see a vet as soon as humanly possible. I don't think this is something that can be dealt with at home, now.

 

[Tanya and Ducia]

She is still dropping, keep giving her honey. Do you have any high carb food that you can give her. I think she may need veterinary intervention at this point. If she is lethargic, with dilated pupils, I would take her to the vet. Do you have anyone who can go with you, in case Ducia needs to be given more honey on the way there?

No, I am alone
should I keep on honey
she breathes thru her mouth violatly

 

[Bobbie And Bubba]

Yes, keep giving the honey. Can you call a taxi to come and take you to the vet?

 

[Tanya and Ducia]

Tanya, this is really an emergency, she needs to see a vet as soon as humanly possible. I don't think this is something that can be dealt with at home, now.

no car, no cab money, cards max out on diagn and supplies
My husband be here in 40 min
will she survive
another 15 min to vet

 

[Tanya and Ducia]

more honey even it dripps off her mouth?

 

[Judy and Boomer]

I would keep on giving honey.

 

[Bobbie And Bubba]

more honey even it dripps off her mouth?

Yes, just keep applying it on her gums.

 

[Squalliesmom]

Rub the honey on her gums. Can your husband leave early and come get you? I don't think you should wait. She needs a vet NOW.

 

[Judy and Boomer]

Is there a neighbour or friend that can drive you?

 

[Tanya and Ducia]

she has convulsions, mouth opened, put in some honey. What's next?

 

[Tanya and Ducia]

Rub the honey on her gums. Can your husband leave early and come get you? I don't think you should wait. She needs a vet NOW.

I'd walk with her if I could. Hubby tries he's best, its a long commute

 

[Tanya and Ducia]

Is there a neighbour or friend that can drive you?

no one

 

[Tanya and Ducia]

teeth are clunking
going to give more honey

 

[Squalliesmom]

If you can't get to the vet please call them now and ask them what you can do to help her.

 

[Bobbie And Bubba]

Do you have a feeding syringe, one with out a needle? if so get some honey into the syringe and give it to her rectally.

 

[Tanya and Ducia]

is there a honey overdose?

 

[Bobbie And Bubba]

is there a honey overdose?

No not with a hypo event. Try watering down the honey with water as you said earlier and give it in her etube.

 

[Nan & Amber (GA)]

is there a honey overdose?

No, the signs all point to low BG-- she needs the honey.

 

[Bobbie And Bubba]

is there a honey overdose?

No this is a hypo event. Got to get her numbers up . Do you have a syringe with out a needle? One for syringe feeding? if so put honey in it an give her honey rectally. She is in serious trouble.

 

[Judy and Boomer]

Is there another vet closer to you?

 

[Tanya and Ducia]

I deluted 0.5 cup warm water + 1/2 noney gave rectally 2 ml, was it right?

 

[Nan & Amber (GA)]

At this point, I think you can do straight honey in the syringe.

 

[Judy and Boomer]

How is Ducia acting now?

 

[Tanya and Ducia]

No this is a hypo event. Got to get her numbers up . Do you have a syringe with out a needle? One for syringe feeding? if so put honey in it an give her honey rectally. She is in serious trouble.

half cup water with 1/2 tsp honey 2 ml rectally enough?

 

[Bobbie And Bubba]

@Jill & Alex (GA) we need help. Cat my have been overdose and not responding to coming up with honey. Etube is in place, will watered down honey in the tube help or is giving rectally a better choice?

 

[Judy and Boomer]

half cup water with 1/2 tsp honey 2 ml rectally enough?

I think you can give straight honey that way.

 

[Bobbie And Bubba]

At this point, I think you can do straight honey in the syringe.

Yes, give the honey full strength rectally.

 

[Tanya and Ducia]

[Nan & Amber (GA)]

No, PLEASE CONTINUE TO GIVE HONEY!!!!!!! Honey (no water) in the feeding syringe, and administer rectally. This is an EMERGENCY!

 

[Bobbie And Bubba]

[Judy and Boomer]

[Tanya and Ducia]

The car is here in 10, taking Lantus needles to check the dosage Dusia is bad

[Tricia Cinco(GA) & Harvey]

Tanya, you cannot overdose on honey. If nothing else, she will throw it up, but not if you give it rectally.

 

[Bobbie And Bubba]

The car is here in 10, taking Lantus needles to check the dosage Dusia is bad

Many prayer, keep rubbing honey on her gums as your travel. Call the vet and let them know you will be bringing your cat in soon with a hypo event.

 

[Judy and Boomer]

Please continue to give her honey on the way to the vet.
Please let us know!
