Typed out the following several hours ago but clicked the link for the board index instead of the Post Reply button. :oops:

The content is a wee bit stale now but there are some general tips in it so I'm going to post it to you now.


he dove into his dry food just now.
Good that he's eating some of the higher carb dry - it would help keep his numbers up a bit better. Also, you can try mixing some honey or karo into the a/d food to up the carbs a bit. Remember that the sugars can kick in a little bit faster than food but they also wear off quickly. If you do suspect a hypo, give honey/karo moIn case you've not already found this:

How to treat hypos

If in any doubt about anything overnight, post for help. If you don't get a quick answer here, try posting a new thread saying that your cat is low/hypo and you need help on the Lantus & Levemir support board (usually has more footfall). If you think Dwight might be having a hypo, switch on the 911 emergency prefix next to the title when you're creating the thread. (It would also help if you could copy/paste the URL for this thread into the new one so that members can check back on what has happened thus far.)

Sending prayers that Dwight will continue to eat well and that the night will pass safely for both of you.

Hey guys,

Dwight is okay. We are back to baseline, fixed the insulin dosage. Made sure of it. He isn't eating much today, but he is exhausted. He's acting like his normal self.

We've been through a lot the past couple of days. The next few days of seeing if he will eat on his own are critical to see what we do next. Thank you for all your help and suggestions. I'm very overwhelmed right now so I apologize for not replying. Being on the forum and discussing what was happening was really taking a toll on me.
 
You've been through a lot, trial by fire is unfortunately way too common here. :bighug::bighug: Proceed in baby steps and come back when you are up to it. I'll keep finger, toes, and paws crossed here for Dwight.
