I brought Catcher back to the vets to be admitted for the day. He seemed much happier. The techs all praised how good he had been the day before. I warned them to watch out because he was feeling better and I could see him eyeing the quick pace of the techs as they rushed around the back rooms.
Observations from the chart:
owner gave insulin @ 11:30pm. Chem profile run @ 7:30am. Restarted fluids @ 84ml/hr. 2 cc Cerenia in fluid bubble. owner says he ate a 1/2 cup of food last night. Ate well for us. Restarted Lactated Ringers with Dextrose.
Blood Glucose @ 11:40: 364 (off glucose drip 30 min prior to BG) gave 6 units NPH
2:15 - Disconnect IV fluids. Remove IV catheter. BG: 393 @ 2:45
Write script for NPH insulin - 6 units twice daily
Re-check Mon or Tues ~6 hours post injection
We were sent home with a box of syringes, bottle of insulin, and the instructions to give him 6 units twice daily, making sure that he had eaten before giving it to him. We were to bring him back Mon or Tues to test his blood. We were still awaiting the results of the bloodwork sent to Idexx.
