Oliver Update

, , david, Tuesday, 8:13 am

Oliver’s diabetes still isn’t under control. Took him in on Monday morning for yet another round of tests and when I picked him up in the afternoon learned his glucose is still too high, though it is measurable. The vet who was filling in (Chrissie/Jenny?) didn’t want to make a change, so for now he is staying on 6 units and Mike is going to call me sometime about the options. She suggested

  1. change him to a new type of synthetic insulin and try and find the right dose on that (that’s her preference)
  2. increase his dose to 7 or 8 units (most cats only need about 2 units so this is getting quite high)
  3. try and change his diet, though she thought his current diet of k/d biscuits with the odd Wiskas single is ok

Here’s me giving Oliver his insulin shot this morning:

p1000132
p1000135
p1000136
p1000138
p1000139

I need to shave now.
