Hello beautiful people,
I've been reading this site for about two weeks trying to find answer for what is going on with my cat, trying to do my best with so many difficult situations I have been through since one mounth. At last, I gave up, understood that I can't handle it alone and decided to write. I hope, with the wonderful people out here I am going to overcome.
First of all, I want to apologize for my funny English. I am Turkish and English is not my mother language but I will do my best to express my self in a way or another..
1 month ago (5/18/2011) when I came from work, I found my sweet cat TIFIL (10 years old) laying on the floor with her head in the water bowl unconsciously. She drank a little then she throw up. My husband and I immediately called the vet. The vet told us not to give her water and wait till next mornig!!!! we waited and couldn't sleep because she was really looking bad. Next morning we went to the hospital and she had her blood tests. BG was 558. ketone in her urine (+) anemia, these were some of the results. TIFIL stayed in the hospital untill 6pm and the vet told me that I can take her home :idea:
That night was a disaster. anyway, the next day we went again to the vet. TIFIL was dehydrated, she was in a really really bad situation. they gave her IV Flueds, force feeded her, gave her insulin and so on. after 5 days I wasn't confident of leaving her there anymore so I brought her home (she is a neurotic cat, afraid of everyone, only loves me even doesn't like my husband so much
The point is, I am not sure what happened was a DKA or not. What I am sure is that I was all alone in my country with no vet to help me about a diabetical cat!!! next day I met with an angel, she is a women that has lived the same despair 10 years ago. She couldn't find anyone to help her in our country and communicated with this site and saved her cat by the agency of you people...
She came to my house, brought me equipment (glukometre,lantus solostar pen, food...) She taught me how to home test and many things. So with her guidance I started home testing and giving insuline. I stoped feeding her with dry food. She gave me some recipies of making raw home food and so on...
In Turkey we only have fancy feast from all the low carb. canned foods on the list. So TIFIL is on ff
The problem starts from this point. we started "start low go slow" but things are not working well. I don't know why :cry:
sometimes her BG'S start going down on +8. sometimes it doesn't go down, it stays stable. more and more strange things ...here are some of the testing results. I will be very happy if you can help me on the dosing. Thank you very much for reading...
