Just got off the phone with the vet, Ms Musette is going into surgery to have an e-tube put in at 4pm today...she still isn't eating on her own although her bloodsugar is great at 123 for an amps reading to they didn't give insulin today beacuse they don't want to drop her too low, especially with her going under this afternoon. They have confirmed that she is in DKA, but even the vet's can seem to be able to figure out why.

They also suspect that she is in the middle of a p-titus flare up so they have started her on Bupe and antibiotics (forgot to ask which one, but its all going in her IV from the way the vet sounds.

So it seems she is determined to teach me yet a new step to this complicated dance ...lol Now I get to learn...feeding tubes. Maxwell got to teach me testing and how a cat goes into remission, Musette refine my testing skills, and taught me injections, and curves...now she is going to teach me feeding tubes, and Autumn in the beginning taught me sub-q fluids...And I'm paying for vet tech school why? I should have just adopted more tortie diabetics...I could save a bunch of money but be completely gray by the time I'm 50 (which is next may..heheh)

Mel, Maxwell, Musette, Autumn & The Fur Gang
 
Re: Musette goes into surgery at 4pm cst for e-tube

Sending many prayers her way.

The p-titis flare doesn't surprise me - probably why she had all those nice greens, unfortunately. The DKA is scary since her BG was not high. Maybe the lesson here for all of us is that infection plus lowered food intake could be enough even with out the higher BGs.

Hoping this gets turned around once the feeding tube is in place and meds on board. So sorry you are going through this with you sweet girl
 
Hi Mel,
I am so sorry you are going through this
I will continue praying for both of you! :YMHUG:
