Well, after all the hugs, kisses, scritches and love everyone asked me to give Tiko Tiger, all I can say is...
I have a very happy, purring orinch kitty making it hard to type right now! dancing_cat
Last night his bgs were pretty scary high (461 at PM PS), but ketones were negative and today they're much better:
AM PS 258 1u Lantus
+10 212
PM PS 243 1U
Ketones negative
I still have to be very, very vigilant because when he went into DKA his bgs were no higher than they were today. But I have fluids, pepcid, Buprinex, antibiotics, and R insulin if any are needed. He most likely wouldn't survive another bout with DKA, so I'll do all I can to prevent that from happening.
He is eating really well... preferring the canned to dry DM so he hasn't had any of that since what he ate last night. I'm making his food soupy so he'll stay better hydrated and to still make it easier for him to eat since he had all those teeth extracted last week. Nice thing about the soupy food-- it's pretty often that as soon as he's done eating he needs to go potty so I've been able to get the ketone tests done!
Again, I cannot thank all of you enough... those that chipped in with donations and those that sent as much love and prayers as you could muster. They ALL made a difference... and are why Tiko Tiger is still here for me to write about. I fully believe that without all of you, he wouldn't have made it.
((((hugs)))) and more thanks than I could ever express.
