Thanks for all of the help with Kitty. Called the vet and they said all of the drops are steroid free.

No food or shot yet. How long should I wait?

I'd wait until it's over 200 and then decrease the dose.

 

[ceecee]

What about feeding?

 

[Sue and Oliver (GA)]

I'm with Robin. You can feed now and then test again in 2 hours and then shoot if he is over 200, or not feed and hope he moves up to 200 before he eats your ankles.... :mrgreen:

Which do you think would be better for Kitty in the long run? And the bgs.

I will check his bg again at 1pm. The last was shot was .5, didn't look like much in that syringe!

 

[ceecee]

1pm +13.5 160bg. No food.

 

[ceecee]

Decided to feed ff at 2pm bg was 164. 4pm +16.5 166. Thoughts?

 

[Sue and Oliver (GA)]

My thought is that he is looking great! And he is getting a lot of mileage out of .5 units. I still think I'd wait until he hits 200.

 

[ceecee]

How often do you think I should check his bg? When he gets to 200, go with .5 dose again?

 

[Sue and Oliver (GA)]

Maybe check it again at +20/24? You could give a skinny .5 - that is, pull up .5 in the syringe and then let a "smidgen" out. The other idea is to eyeball half of .5 - mark where it would be on the syringe with a permanent maker or a piece of tape. It doesn't look like he ever went too low; he just surfed for a long long time.

6pm +18.5 297, .5 unit, fed ff. Check bg in 3-4 hrs or longer to see where it goes? We go back to the surgeon tomorrow for a post surgery check in the am.

Looks like Kitty is doing pretty good after the surgery. Hope the check up goes well tomorrow.

He is a great kitty. Thanks Jenn.
