Midnite

Poor Midnite. We just cannot seem to get him stable. Last week I took him to the vet to find out his blood sugar was in the 30’s…!! He showed no symptoms whatsoever but Jeez O’ Pete! At those levels he should have been comatose or at least not be able to stand up. He was playing with his baby (his mouse) all night long- trust me, he kept me up flinging that thing into the air Vet checked his levels 3 times just to make sure it was an accurate read. He had to get a glucose drip right away and we stopped insulin for a few days. A return trip to the vet a few days later showed his sugars were at 260ish. Vet wanted to keep him off the insulin to see if he could level out and possibly maybe not need anymore insulin as sometimes diabetes in cats can resolve on its own. Friday night he started vomiting and having loose stools (YAY thick pile carpet! And by yay I mean uggghhh..). I took him back to the vet this morning and his sugars are close to 400. So obviously he needs insulin. Vet thinks he has a urinary tract infection as there was quite a bit of blood in his urine and high sugars present too. I am supposed to give him antibiotics twice a day. Just thinking of the fun that will be! A whole dropperful twice a day hahahaha. Oy. Hopefully he will feel better soon so we can avoid the ride to the vet and the serious dent in our pocketbook. Double Oy. I feel worse for Midnite of course. Poor kitty. I just want him to be a kitten again with many years ahead of him. sigh.
