So, last night. Walmart is open 24 hours a day, but not the pharmacist, so he didn't get a meter. He did go to the ER and Costello got "cleaned out". The vet gave him laxative samples. (They said the baby suppositories were dangerous because they are not made for cats. ) Costello did not eat much overnight.

And, no surprise, the vet said to just do a curve one day, then give insulin based on that number for a week or two. Too much testing. I think Wally agrees that shooting blind is too dangerous and is more comfortable with testing 3X daily. (If we were still shooting 4 units, Costello would be in bad shape.....)

So, no preshot number last night. Not preshot number this morning. Wally's plan is to see if he will eat and if not, syringe feed him. Then he is planning to give .5 or a drop less. I don't like that but understand that he will be completely off in terms of any schedule. He'll go to Walmart when the pharmacy opens and get the ReliOn and strips.

I won't be home until mid afternoon. Carl, could you possibly give him a call to see how things are? I hate shooting blind and am really nervous about knowing nothing about Costello's numbers.

Definately not an easy trip from New Jersey
Can you pm me his address and I will send him some stuff
THanks Sue for everything you do!
 
Yes, I wish there was someone who lived close by. The nearest person is 4 hours away.... Thanks so much for offering to help. Check your pms.
 
ticks me off that we all pay extra to get stuff there faster and then it takes twice as long as it should. should have just sent it regular mail. probably would have been there already
 
I sent some BCP PZI to someone in Oklahoma, using priority mail, all bundled up in an ice pack and after a week, I quit checking to see if it reached its destination. :twisted:
 
I just tried to call Wally. No answer but i'll try again in a few.

I got home earlier than planned and just talked to Wally. FINALLY GOOD NEWS! :RAHCAT :RAHCAT

He got the ReliOn and it works! +6 is 120 which is great for shooting blind. And Costello is eating. Pooping still not great but better. All around, more encouraging. Yeah!

I was getting a headache beating my head against the wall. :dizcat :dizcat
 
Tried again, got a busy signal, looks like sue got there first. He did call me back but i was in a dead ceell zone. Thanks Sue!
Carl
