Doin’ the Basette boogie

Basette, the little black wonder cat

It is certainly possible that Basette’s responsiveness last night was from a cleared up infection that didn’t show up on the UTI tests. I hope so!

Basette’s glucose was above 500 again this morning, so she’s going to try her on the bovine insulin (PZI) again.

Another update! Vet just called and said that Basette responded today to an insulin dose of 5 units — down from 15 units (which is a WHOPPING dose) before the clavamox and glipizide three weeks ago.

With any luck, she’ll be back up home in a day or so and regulated!

She also suggested getting a second opinion: 80% of the cats she diagnoses with murmurs really don’t require much treatment because it…

    I think I’ve figured out a way to deal with some of the grief: making a memorial for Basette here at the house. I have a small table with pictures of all of my relatives who have died, poems I wrote for eulogies, and knick-knacks that remind me of them. An apple pie-scented candle for…
