I don't know what to say.
I don't know how this happened.
I had to leave for work this morning at 5am.
My DH had to leave at 6am. So, I invited Rocky's mom to come spend the night so she could be here in the morning and give Rocky his am dose. I reduced him down to .7u lasts night because the .9 just didn't seem to do ANYTHING. He just kinda "hung" in the 200's with it. So I thought maybe it was to much. I wanted to try the .7.
Well, I called my house at 7:25 to make sure everything was going according to plan. Rocky's mom was up, had given the insulin and breakfast (Callie Mae too) and was going back to bed.
I tested him before I left for work, didn't record it in the SS because it was so early and I figured I would update it when I got home.
Well, I was racing to make it home by 7:30. Got in the door at about 7:35.
Came into the bedroom to get set up to test. The bottle of test strips were no where. Odd. Started looking around. No meter. Humph.
Ok, maybe I am just overlooking them.
Wait, where's Rocky's food bowl. It's supposed to be right here on the long dresser with the rest of "his stuff". Maybe his "mom" moved it on top of the dryer. By the way, where is Rocky. Why isn't he here yelling at me for food?
Looked under bed, no Rocky.
Ok, something is going on. Called Rocky's "mom".
I asked "Did you take Rocky with you?"
She said, Rocky's gone.
What do you mean he's gone?
Don't worry, he's gone.
Ok, I'm starting to worry here. Where is Rocky?
"He's DEAD!'
Nothing makes sense. He was fine this morning. I loaded the syring myself. It only had .7u of insulin in it. I wanted to know what the HELL is going on. WHAT HAPPENED?
She said she found Rocky, he had pee'd on himself, his hair was falling out (???) and he was "barely" alive and his tongue was hanging out of the side of his mouth. SHe thought he had a "stroke". I don't buy that. She said she took him to a vet, and the vet said to put him down. I wanted to know what vet? She said my vet's name. She thought that is where I took Rocky for his DX and it was the only name that came to mind.
I am at a TOTAL loss.
I want to say I think he was hypo'ing, but I didn't see him, so I don't know. She never tested him. Just put him in the car and drove him. I am calling that vet first thing in the morning. I need answers. I am truely beside myself. That boy was FINE 18 hours ago.
I am so PISSED and heartbroken. What a sweet boy. This didn't have to happen. WHAT happened? 1 day. JUST 1 DAY is all she had to be there for him and she KILLED him.
I can't stop crying and I don't know what to do. Callie Mae thinks I'm a freak. She just keeps trying to headbutt me. She doesn't understand why I'm crying or what's going on. Or does she?
Please someone tell me what could have gone wrong.......................
