Hi everyone:
I am hoping I can get some info from anyone who has some experience with this.
My cat Asher and I came here early in January after he was dx’ed with diabetes. I have been helped by all the kind folks in the PZI area with dosing and many questions getting started on this journey.
Asher was doing pretty well but now we can’t seen to get him below yellow numbers. He is currently on 2 units of ProZync BID.
He eats low carb wet food (blue buffalo wilderness chicken) and gets real baked chicken snacks after testing. He is playful and acts like himself and eats heartily (yes he is a hoover kitty). He is 7 years old and about 16lbs.
It has been suggested that maybe his numbers are not good because he has at least one bad tooth that should be removed and needs a dental. My vet told me he needs this but wanted him to be regulated first. I am worried this might be a catch 22 situation if there is an infection or something.
Also since he is not regulated, how risky is this procedure? Is there anything I have to ask my vet not to do or use with him since he’s diabetic and I’m not sure I trust their judgment, like metacam, etc?
Any info anyone has would be so appreciated.
Asher’s spreadsheet is current.
Thanks,
Donna and Asher
