Hi, i just wanted to quickly update this board.
Tiff was my acc diabetic rescue. very high bg, which i was able to manage from approx 10 units of prozinc a day down to 1.75, which is where she is now
my only regret is that because of the attention i paid to the management, and i have data in a book, i can print and send to you guys or upload a scan, is that i didn't stay in touch with you guys because i was so busy and she was so well-managed. bloodwork every six months.
then within one of the bloodworks, bam, it happened.
i think it was due to constipation. i wanted her on fluids at the last checkup but he said she was fine.
i kept her on 1/8 a day of miralax, and she was acting weird, eating very light, and if anybody knows tiff, she is a big eater, and then bam, no urine. i waited approx 12 hours because i have three cats, and thought maybe she went in the other box, but i wound up rushing her to vet, they did bloodwork, and bam, renal failure.
i feel like i let her down. maybe you guys would have pushed me to bring her in on memorial day weekend when i started with glycerin liquid suppositories to move her every three weeks.
she pooped but needed miralax and suppositories, etc.
then 3 weeks ago is when i rushed her in. i am not so sure i like miralax because it is osmotic and with diabetics i feel like they a border dehydrated.
anyway, i joined yahoo renal board. they helped . she is anemic too now.
so brief history on tiff:
acc rescue, myocardiopathy (found out after pull)
some kind of trauma (x rays showed after the pull - broken ribs, possible pelvic fracture or leg))
type 2 diabetic (i knew at pull)
all sorts of digestion problems, shelter cold, hospitalized a month right after pull due to shelter cold and other issues.
now to kidney failure, so far okay.
she is on hills renal, i know loaded with carbs, but this give them the best chance. very low in bg still on 2.50 a day total. let's see how that goes
still on atenonol.
hivites 2x a day
appetite stimulant (she is eating)
b12 shots
zantac 2x a day
colace 3 tabs a day for now.
fluids 200 mls a day, and this will decrease. she is hydrated well. redoing bloods in 2 weeks. i have lowered to 75 in am and approx 100 at night or maybe a litttle less. Sodium Chloride
Alumium hydroxide phosphate binder too.
now yahoo renal board pushed because her neutrophils were high. they said this is an infection. he didn't prescribe a shot. don't know why, but may change vets. ???
i brought her in and pushed. she is 90 percent better within 24 of the convenia shot. i don't know why he didn't give her a shot. very upset
any in put will help and be respected.
broken hearted in ny with tiff
she is better though. maybe i will upload a pic. she is eating 4 oz a day with snacks (raw).
