Kitty is Home!

[kse]

I just picked my baby up! She is one happy sugarcat at the present time!!!

The vet did not test Kitty's BG last night or this morning---just shot 3.5 units. She has been giving 3.5 units for three days and has assured me it is safe. She said there was no need to test unless I wasn't going to be home to monitor her. It would be so much easier if she would buy into what I am doing.

She did say, she did not want to rush a move to a higher dose of PZI or to Lantus. She said she was convinced Kitty was showing no rebound and that her numbers were truly high BG.

She also tested my meter (accuchek aviva) against the alpha track numerous times this week--mine was the higher of the two (about 10 percent). She also said the accuchek took a lot more blood than the alpha track--who knows?!


So, it looks like I am on my own--with the help of the board to try to break through these numbers.

shaking head. OMG how could a vet be so irresponsible? pumping 3U's for 3 days without testing, telling you no need to test.
shaking head again.
well, you are ready to test right?

Ready!!!!

I just hope the group will help me work through this. I am at the mercy or the board members!

We'll be here to help.

So how about getting some numbers for us and then we can think about the best plan.

Shaking my head about your vet. I guess if she walked by and saw Kitty passed out in the cage, she would then think the dose might be high?

Glad she is home! dancing_cat dancing_cat dancing_cat

Wonderful that she is home where she belongs! And you will take so much better care of her than the vet did!

After finding this board and receiving great help that made a huge difference in turning my cat's health around, I'm very surprised at how little a lot of vets out there know about treating feline diabetes. It's doesn't seem to be that uncommon a disease and would only take the vet a little time to research the latest advances and protocols in treatment, and yet so many don't. I just don't understand it. It could make such a huge difference to so many cats. *Sigh* So glad Kitty is home and happy.

:roll: :roll: :roll: oy! Also puzzled if she thinks there is no rebound and its just high BGs, then wouldn't she *want* to raise the dose? ohmygod_smile
