New Insulin!!!

I called my vet this morning and left a very direct (but nice) message stating I needed a prescription for Lantus. I just picked it up from Walgreens! Yes, tis true, I'm holding a vial of Lantus in my hot little hands!

Draco will start tomorrow! I'm so excited because according to the information and research I've looked into, many cats go into remission on Lantus. Here's hoping!

I'm Baaaack!

My husband and I got back late last night (Sat night). We had a blast on our cruise, but we are sooo happy to be home. We traveled for 14 hours yesterday-that sucked.

So I picked up Draco from the pet resort as soon as they opened. He's been meowing something fierce all day. I'm thinking it's the stress from being away from home for a week.

I tested his BG levels at +6, he was at 151! I don't know how that happened. He's been running around the house all crazy. I think they may have given Draco the wrong insulin. When I left w/his insulin bottle, I double checked to make sure it was the right one. It wasn't! It belonged to the other diabetic cat there. It was Lantus!! That's what I'm hoping to switch Draco to this week. I'm calling my vet at 8 am on Monday to request that he order it. If he doesn't agree, I'm switching vets. Simple as that.

I gave back the Lantus and took my Novolin home. I'm gonna test Draco in a couple of hours before his next shot.

I'll post on what the vet says manana!

Laters.

Leavin

I'm leaving on a vacation tonight on a red eye. I just dropped Draco off at a kennel for the week. I'm completely sick to my stomach worried about him. I just hope and pray that he will be okay till I get back. I hope he eats and takes his insulin like he's supposed to.

I will report to you in a week.

My Vacation

So my husband and I are leaving this weekend to go on a cruise! I can't wait! Draco is staying at a pet resort in Rio Rancho. They know how to administer insulin. I will worry about him while I'm gone.

I talked to my vet and told him (demanded really) that I am changing Draco to a longer actin insulin as soon as I get back. The one he's on (Novolin) is just not working for him. He's still always hungry and drinking lots of water. I'm pushing for Lantus. I can't wait to get him regulated, poor baby.

Frustration!

So I feel terrible because I just lost it with Draco the other morning. He had food in his bowl overnight, but he wanted different food! I was half asleep and he wouldn't stop meowing!! I got so angry with him. I feel terrible now.

Lazy sunday

Draco is getting soooo finicky on what he eats! I now have to mix the Friskies w/the Fancy Feast or he looks up at me and says "what is this crap?"

Gonna call the vet tomorrow and ask for a longer acting insulin, N is just not working.

The one thing I really hate about him eating all the time>>>> the litter! I have to clean it every single day! It's always smelly and gross. He's a messy cat.

Going for a curve

I'm working on getting a curve tonight. I changed him to 1.5 units 2 times per day. I want to see how this works for him.

He has good energy, but still urinating a lot. I will post on how he does for hours 1 through 5.

Good night all!
