Hercules broke into the cookie jar...do I need to do anything?

[Hercule's mum]

I woke up to this morning to a very strange looking cat, and realize that hercs and his buddy have somehow managed to break open the new treat (cosma dry chicken, tuna and lamb) vial. It was quite big, about 40g?

his BG is "only" 24.9 and he is drinking like mad. He looks catatonic though.

I can see he is really thirsty from all the dry food, and gave half his breakfast with loads of water mixed in?

What else should i be doing?

Thanks!

I think you're doing the only thing you can do. Not that I'm sure at all!
But you get a hug anyway!

He could feel punky for a couple of days. Just watch the litter box. What goes in MUST come out.

Insulin wise? I dont know.

ETA: My Zoe did that (non diabetic) with a bag of Temptations. and she was off for 2 days.
good luck!

Thank you both! His Bg seem OK.... but he is very subdued..... I guess the snack is low carb, but there must be something else in them that is making him feel unwell. His buddy is also off, and as far as I know she is not diabetic...

Oh well! There is always something.....

how would you feel after eating a large pizza all by yourself?

Well... that sure does depend on how much she usually eats....cause I wouldn't have a problem with that

I think Hercules and his buddy is full. Dehydrated meat kinda..blows up when it gets moisture

He could have bloat keep an eye on him

 

[Hercule's mum]

what is "bloat"? I understand full... but perhaps you mean something else? what should i look for...

cause I wouldn't have a problem with that

Haha, Sasha, I tought the same thing...

 

[jt and trouble (GA)]

BLOAT is excess gas Its painful so you WILL get signs I'm more worried about him being able to poop . I mean if he ate that much. Think about it.

About that pizza. There was a day when it would be no problem thats why now I LIVE on a diet. We splurged one day not too long ago and got a pizza a really GOOD one...I could only eat 2 slices.

 

[SashaV]

Bloat is built up like air. You know, when you REALLY need to fart

Darn Jeanne! Wanna trade!? I could eat my own and others leftovers

 

[SashaV]

Anyone else feel like pizza for dinner?

 

[Hercule's mum]

he hasn't been gassy, and is willing to eat his food. But has been quite morose.

Perhaps he is like me and sasha, and always willing to eat as much as available....even when ill....

Oh Herc! Not surprised he feels a bit morose - remember that feeling when we were kids & our mother said "you eat any more chocolate \cake\ icecream and you will wind up regretting it ! . but we went & did it anyway??!!
Yep Herc probably has indigestion and a very uncomfortable inflated like a balloon with gas tummy like we did!
Will he learn his lesson - did we ever do so??
Glad it was low carb treats he had. Hope he is feeling much better soon

[Hercule's mum]

He seems a bit perkier today and his BG looks better!

I never learned that lesson.... i ate a whole large pack of digestives last night... stress-eating! Feel bleugrh today,,,,
