My 4 year old girl just had a UA with 2+ glucose and a bg reading of 212 but this was right after a dental cleaning. All previous blood work she's never had elevated glucose. Her urine specific gravity was also low and diluted. She only received 4ml of IV fluids so the Dr highly doubts it's from the fluids. She's concerned she has diabetes. She eats 1/8 cup of Dr elseys clean protein kibble and 1/2 to 1 can of fancy feast gravies and 1/2 can fancy feast naturals per day. All of June she was on Purina EN for the dry instead of Dr elseys and I believe it caused her horrible gi distress with 4 big hairballs which is abnormal for her and why we switched back to elseys.
In May everything looked great glucose wise and urine was very well concentrated and had crystals in the urine and only reason we checked it today because we wanted to make sure the crystals weren't accurate and were from basically sitting about 24 hours before processing at the lab so we ran urine right away today. She has had multiple urinalysis done and blood work and never showed this. We added on a fructosamine check today.
I want to add she has always been hit or miss with eating. I adopted her at about 1.5 years old and she previously was a wanna be feral I call her. She only bonded to me and she has a strong deep distrusting nature of people. She usually does her eating over night as I have two sure feed microchip feeders because during the day she will sometimes only eat one meal. At night I put a serving of wet in one feeder and hairball treats and the 1/8 cup Dr elseys in the other. I'd say most days she eats everything but some days she doesn't eat any of the wet. She has good and bad days with eating ever since I got her. I even took her to an internal medicine specialist last year and they suspected IBD but she had healthy poops and the vomiting is from hairballs
