Over the weekend he was hospitalized to get his blood sugar down. He lost another pound he couldn't afford and is battling a severe URI for more than two months off and on. At the hospital his BG was 700 when he arrived. They did two days of curves want me to do 2 units U100 Vetsulin. He was on 3 units earlier this year and went down to 2 units a few months ago before the URI.
He gained a pound since release ate 2 cans Purina DM the 1st day he was released. I give him 75 ml fluids twice a day. He had energy to greet me at the door at 6pm (+10 hours) ate some Hills a/d. By 7:30 he was so tired he is sleeping in the sink curled up looking awful.
Vet said Lantus is best. I do my curves with Relion Confirm. He is azithromycin for the URI and doxycycline. Mirtazapine for appetite every other day.
Pretty Foots is 15 years old never had diabetes out of control like since Vet saved him from ketoacidosis August 2008. Started on vetsulin until taken off market. Tried Humulin went hypo 3 times. Back on Vetsulin over a year ago.
Your advice greatly appreciated.
