Re: Chewy-newly diagnosed, no appetite
He did do a blood draw yesterday and it was still really really high. Over 400 again. I agree about the insulin. His drinking has calmed down some and he hasn't had an accident in the house today. Still lethargic, but he was showing that he was hungry around 4 pm. He'll be fed again around 6:30 to keep within the 12 hour thing. I'm hoping that that helps. It's amazing to me that just that TINY increase in insulin (but then again, when you are only 9 lbs, that might be a lot) can trigger such a response again. Sooo, hopefully he'll have a good week if he eats tonight and gets his insulin and sort of gets used to that amount.
Thanks again! We will start hometesting next week, I believe. That's where we'll learn how to use the equipment, etc. I have no idea right now how any of this works. Boo!
