Re: TIFIL DKA
I am searching for a emergency vet but I don't think I can find one.. there are two, one that we went before for dka, but they couldn't medicate her right, they didn't give insuline during the medication...
Second one is a clinic that killed my cat (after shaving her fur she died because of intestinal knot).
So I can't take tıfıl there

Re: TIFIL DKA
Isil:
Do you have Ketodiastix or Ketostix? Ketodiastix test both for urinary glucose AND ketones. Olive would be the color for glucose.
This is what the color coding for the Ketodiastix looks like:
If you are getting a "large" ketone reading, this is not a situation that you can manage at home. You need to get Tifil to an emergency vet.

Re: TIFIL DKA
I found a emergency vet, but he is looking if he has fluids with electrolytes...
Does tıfıl have to have fluids with electrolytes, as emergency can she have another iv flid, and which one?

Re: TIFIL DKA
I honestly don't know. You need to let the vet assess Tifil. They need to check labs to see if her electrolyte values are abnormal.

oh what a terrible time you've had. i wish we had some way to help more - you were on my mind the entire day at work.
one more question - is Tifil the kind of cat to eat things laying around - rubber bands, strings, anything like that?
i hope you've been able to get a tiny bit of sleep. :YMHUG:

Re: TIFIL DKA
((((Isil)))) it does seem the problem is DKA, Vyktor had +++ 80 on the ketodiastix when he was hospitalised very very ill. I have looked up our bill to see what kind of fluids were given for Vyktor on the bill all it says is 'Intensive care - IV fluid therapy' so I don't think this helps you but in his records it says a little more, it says saline spiked with KCI. I don't know what this KCI means but maybe someone else on the board does. To me it is not clear about how much was given but again myabe someone else knows what this means, it says "started saline (spiked with KCI) and gave 3su sc. cont BG throughout the day". In fact I am not sure but the 3sc sc. may be referring to the insulin they gave him (which was 3 units of caninsulin) rather than the fluids they gave him.
Instead of an x-ray for Tifil perhaps an ultrasound is better to be able to see more.
I hope you find the vet that is not stupid and can help you today Vyktor and I have all our fingers and paws crossed for you.

Re: TIFIL DKA
Hi Isil
You are a wonderful friend to your cat -- I know you're very worried right now, but remember that you have been doing your best for her all along. Can you take her back to the vet school in the morning? I don't know the time difference. If your insulin dose is close to the time you will be at the hospital, I would NOT give the insulin for two reasons:
1) If your cat has a low potassium, insulin will make it lower.
2) The doctor at the vet school will see her glucose is very high, and with those ketones he will want to start a shorter-acting insulin. If she has her Lantus before she goes, it is stuck in her system and it may be dangerous to give other insulin. (She would go back on her Lantus before she leaves.) DKA is treated with fluids, but also with insulin.
Re: low potassium: Is your cat strong enough to hold up her own head? Is she not walking around because she feels bad, or is she too weak to stand up when she wants to? Is she making urine in the box or just right on herself as she lays there?
Also just to make clear, IV fluids are fluids that are attached to the vein. Fluids can also be put under the skin, then it is called SQ fluids. You can do SQ fluids at home but not IV fluids. To make it confusing, sometimes the same type of fluids can be given SQ or IV. All fluids given IV or SQ have electrolytes in them, otherwise they would just be sterile water (which can be harmful) and no one gives plain water.
When you go for your appointment tomorrow, bring your meter and ask to test it at the same time so you know if your meter is not right. Also, although you are getting a lot of information from us, you need to work with the professor for your cat, so I would let him do his examination and get the blood, and then talk about his plan for your kitty. If he says he wants to do [blah blah], ask what will [blah blah] show, how will you treat her for this or that, etc. I would not start off by saying "Here is what is wrong and here is what I want you to do." None of us can put our hands on your cat and do an exam, and none of us are qualified to prescribe medicine. So you need a partner to treat Tifil with you. From my experience, especially with male doctors, it is much better to ask, "Do you think there could be something wrong with her belly?" than to say " I want you to do [or why aren't you doing] x-rays of her belly to see what's wrong?"
These doctors may all be jerks, but they may also feel "questioned" rather than "asked" [mookiesmom can you translate that for us?] and that means that you will both get stuck in your position, and he will not listen. Does that make sense?
I have no idea where you are in your day, I hope this helps and I hope Tifil is getting the care she needs from those doctors. please keep us posted.

Re: TIFIL DKA
Hello,
Tıfıl is at the vet that I went last night (The 24 hours open one). There is a vet (not the one last night) taking care of her, she is having iv fluids with electrosytes...
She can hold her head up, it looks like she is weak to stand up because she changes rooms all the time (I think something is disturbing her inside) and she is going to her litter box to make her toilet. when she was first dka, she couldn't do these things...she was making her toilet where she was laying like you said..
But this time, she is better. I must say that she threw up all the food I force feeded her nast night.
She was very very angry at the vet, she scratched every single vet overthere and including me!
She is not eating but they will force feed her during the day...
For the hypokalaemia, tıfıl is weak, I can't say that she is so energic but not as bad as she was last time she was dka...
They wanted me to leave because the actual vet will be coming at 2pm and the time was 10 am when I left.
I will go back at 2pm....
By the way, I gave lantus before I read your post
she was 255 at +11...couldn't test amps because I was at the vet......I just shot without testing....
I understand what you mean about man vets...I must say that not only vet as a man, all the man in Turkey are just like you said...you have to know how to talk to them, the imperatives are not working on them, that's for sure....
I hope they are doing the right thing with tıfıl.....I am worried

Re: TIFIL DKA
Do they know that you gave her her Lantus this morning? They may not be familiar with the long acting insulin. I would remind them that her nadir will be around 12:00pm (or whatever time her nadir is) today. Your best guess.
I am wishing you the Best Of Luck and will be thinking about Tifil and you, all day. (((((Hugs))))))

Here's hoping Tifil is getting the care she needs at this vet and that you can develop a good working relationship with this vet.
Even here in the U.S. sometimes I have trouble with vets, sometimes you just have to let them think they are boss! Sometimes they are, but sometimes we know our cats better than they do.
Good luck with this new vet for both Tifil and you. Will be thinking of you and sending healing wishes all day. Please post when you can and keep us updated.

Re: TIFIL DKA
Hello,
I am back home and I will go to the vet to shoot tıfıl after 2 hours...
The new vet is very good thanks good...he immediately did tests and he said that tıfıl is DKA...
the keton result was +++ just like I saw on ketostix....
He said that there is infection so he started antibiotics...
From all the results, all I can remember is her potassium leve
result was 2 and the reference values are between 3.5 and 5....
The vet is giving two different kinds of iv fluids, one is lactate ringer (I don't know the english name)
The other is an iv fluid with electrolytes (ı guess lactate ringer also has electrolytes)
The vet said that he won2t give extra potassium because he is afraid that too much potassium will efect her heart...what do you think, are the iv fluids enough for potassium?

Re: TIFIL DKA
Isil,
I can't answer your question because I don't know what the fluids contain. It sounds like your new vet understands what is happening with Tifil and is treating it. Too much potassium (and too little potassium) can cause muscle weakness, breathing and heart problems. That's why that value is very important.
I'm so thankful that you found this new vet!!! I worried about you both all night.
BIG HUGS!!!!

Thank you everyone for your beautiful support
Ann, this vet is only there in the mornings but there is a vet staying at nights...
This new vet told me that he is planning to give the iv fluids dring the day and he wants me to take tıfıl home during the nights except tonight...he said that tıfıl is a fearful cat and to stay at the vet for so long will make her feel worse...but he said he will decide IF tıfıl feels better tomorrow...
By the way he is giving w/d and recovery...I didn't care so much because it's important that she gets something in her stomach
Her lab glucose level was 298 at +5.5

Re: TIFIL DKA
I am ecstatic that you finally found what sounds like a decent, competent, caring vet! And so glad you said she is getting Recovery, is she eating it on her own? When Tawny would not eat a thing and b4 she had her e-tube Recovery was the ONLY thing she would eat and she practically inhaled that.
Tawny's potassium levels were lower than you say Tifil's are. She got the IVs too and eventually she got potassium supplement, but I let the vets decide when that was needed and later, when it wasn't any longer. Her potassium levels did normalize with the proper care at the hospital.
Tifil is very, very lucky to have you as her bean, Isil, and it is only because you have fought so hard for her that she is finally getting the care she needs. You go girl! You keep fighting for her and we'll be right here for you when you need us. You Rock!
Desi
P.S. I think REcovery is pretty high in carbs, if I remember correctly about 29%, as opposed to what we usually like to feed which is under I think 7-10%, (Tinkerbell & Tawny don't get anything over 8% and usually only 4-5%), but right now the most important thing is that Tifil eats. So let her eat. If I remember correctly, I think Recovery is high in calories, that should also help fight the ketones.

Re: TIFIL DKA
I am back from the vet, I gave tıfıl insulin and she was 257 at PMPS...
But sorry to say that we have some problems...
first problem: Tıfıl is not getting iv fluids trough the night because they think that she had enough today. But there is another problem, my old vet couldn't go in the vein and all the liquid gathered under her armpit
so it means she got her iv fluids under her skin not in her vein, is this a big problem? they said they will open a vein tomorrow morning...
second problem: Tıfıl is biting and scratching every humun being except me, so the intern student staying tonight said that he can't force feed her and he can't check blood sugar tonight

Re: TIFIL DKA
Not 100% sure about the fluids Isil but think it's probably not so bad because fluids are given under the skin sometimes anyway.
Is the vet near to you, can you go in to test her blood and feed her in the night, will they let you? Hopefully she is home for tonight anyway.
ISIL&TIFIL said:I am back from the vet, I gave tıfıl insulin and she was 257 at PMPS...
But sorry to say that we have some problems...
first problem: Tıfıl is not getting iv fluids trough the night because they think that she had enough today. But there is another problem, my old vet couldn't go in the vein and all the liquid gathered under her armpit
second problem: Tıfıl is biting and scratching every humun being except me, so the intern student staying tonight said that he can't force feed her and he can't check blood sugar tonight
