Hi
Silly question time! From reading various posts I though it may be worth me getting some keostix or keo-diastix in.
But I've searched on the internet and there do not appear to be any cat ones.
Is it just the human ones that you all use ? If so will I need to interpret the colour range any differently because it's cat pee? And what level is worry time for the keotones and sugar?
I've tried searching on here but it says it produces too many results. So if someone could answer the above or just point me at the info I would be very grateful.
Thanks
Gill
 
No interpretations necessary, the colours are the same for human and cat pee. Any level of ketones is of concern. As I recall anything above trace warrants a vet visit, DKA is not something you want to be dealing with! If you are testing regularly the sugar readings will not be of as much interest as they will just give an indication of the sugar levels over the past several hours.
