Maybe some other options…

Basette

Basette went back to the vet’s this morning. She really isn’t herself today. She’s been walking into cabinets. Her water and food seemed almost untouched. Only one spot in the litter box this morning. She is still having trouble standing.

I was on my way in to work this morning and I called the vet. She said to bring Basette in for a neurological exam, so I turned around, drove home to pick up Basette, and took her to the clinic. Poor kitten sat on my lap, barely purring, mrowing periodically (something she never does). She really doesn’t feel good and she isn’t herself.

Basette’s exam showed some neurological problems with her back legs, and possibly a little on her front too. Her glucose levels were above 500. The plan now is to see if the fast-acting insulin has any effect and to try and rehydrate her. We’ll be consulting with the local teaching veterinary school and hoping for some suggestions.

Maybe she will get a little better during the day.

    Poor Shadow. Shelley dropped Shadow off on Tuesday so I could take her to the vet’s for her surgery. Shadow wasn’t very happy to be dragged around in a carrier and taken to the vet’s. Considering everything, she was quite well behaved though. She spent part of the morning in the carrier on my kitchen…

  • Basette update

    The vet called this morning with some good news! Basette’s morning glucose was 405 (much lower then the prior day’s 500+), and her lunch-time glucose was 339. She’s edging back towards a normal glucose level finally. The best news was that Basette was up and walking around the clinic. Not just a step or two…

  • Sick Stella

    I went to take a nap and Stella curled up next to me under the covers. She jumped back out from the covers, went underneath, and came back out. She couldn’t settle in one place. She kept on stopping and then meowing almost like a bark. I put her in the bathroom with food. I’m…
