My cat was diagnosed 7/9 with a BG of 540 and ketones in his urine. Also has a UTI. We did 1 week of Amoxicillin that didn't do anything and is now on Entrofloxacin (1 day left of a 7 day course). His second UA a week ago didn't show ketones.
Vet started him on 2U twice a day of Vetsulin. His blood sugars are almost all super high (400-500 range). He is eating Fancy Feast Pate 2 cans per day. He won't eat more (previously was on dry Purina Indoor). He is peeing all over my house also. I called the vet about his high blood sugars last week and unresolved UTI and she thought the chart looked good for the 13th through 16th and wouldn't change anything except I could increase to 2.5U if I wanted.
Tonight his blood sugar read HI on the meter. I gave him insulin and food and checked again 15 minutes later and it read 589. What do I need to do?
Thanks for any advice. He is barely moving around (walking slowly on his hocks) and has lost 2 pounds in the past 6 months.
