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!
