She was 367 at 8: 30 a.m., up from 292 at 6 a.m.
Saw a vet at our regular clinic this morning - I love them all - and she went over Jane's labs with me. Good news is we can get the diabetes under control, get the hyper-t under control, and she'll feel much better. Bad news is her BUN is off the charts, her kidneys are small and she's in CRF. More bad news: Fixing the thyroid problem will likely make her kidneys worse, so we will see.
Recheck in three weeks, sooner if a problem. Will likely start subq fluids then, but we'll wait and see.
Got an rx for Lantus, but won't shoot till tonight, to get her on a working schedule.
And waiting for my sleep-deprived brain to clear so I can write a scathing letter to the ER clinic/its board of directors/some appropriate state vet oversight agency. If it hadn't been for this board, she would be gone today because of them.
