| Insulin | PZI Vet |
January 2007: Current dose of PZI is 3.5U BID. Maybe trying TID dosing soon. Recently had some blood work done and his Creatine numbers were a little high.
Tigger was hospitalized over the Thanksgiving Day weekend due to DKA. We made the choise to switch him over to PZI-VET (Indexx U-40 insulin) all blood work done was within the normal ranges. Will post all those numbers at a later date. The only number on the low side was his pottasium. It was low so we will continue with the Tumil-k supplement 2 a day til they are within normal values then once a day and recheck in a few weeks to see how that is working.
September 24,2005 & September 25,2005
We are currently trying Lantus. Starting dose is 1U. From the day I started testing Tigger at least twice a day he has always given me high preshot numbers.
Todays PS was 381 & 402. Developed ketones on 1U. Went with vets advice to increase to 2U on 9/26/05
10/16/05
Tigger has given me consistant PS's in the 300's since 10/14/05. But I feel there is a dose increase needed. I have been smelling ketones on his breathe. The times I have gotten to test his pee, there have been none to trace.
I will be calling the vet in the morning. To see what he has to say.
10/3/05 to 10/13/05
most of Tiggers PS's have been in the 300's with a few being in the 400's

Slight fever @ vets 102.5 started on clavamox as precaution possible pneumonia, lungs didn't sound quite right + was doing rapid breathing at vets and I also noticed this at home.
