First, thank you to anyone who is reading this & also who has any experience to share. From reading prior posts, this seems like an incredibly supportive community, and right now, I could use some of that...

Ok, so...Strasti was diagnosed as diabetic in March. He was put on PZI and apparently, he was doing so well on it, that sadly enough, he had a massive grand mal hypoglycemic seizure this past Sat (I swear to you, he showed no symptoms prior to the seizure...he is the most stoic kitty I know, that being his fourth seizure ever...). He spent the weekend in kitty ICU, on Valium and a dextrose drip, and then stayed at the vet's until Tues; he has been completely taken off insulin. He returned to the vet on Thurs due to -- finally! -- signs of hypoglycemia: lack of appetite, lethargy, and my testing his BG at 47. On Thurs, he was given Clavamox to clear up an infection that seemed to be troubling his bladder, Pepcid AC to settle his stomach and getting him eating again, fluids to clear up dehydration and his BG seemed to register at 105...which may in part have been due to my giving him honey an hour & half prior to the vet testing him.

I get him home and he *seems* to perk up a bit...he ate a bit. His food stayed down. Then, today -- no food, no water, cranky as all hell. Honestly, I would be too if my bladder irritated me, my stomach was aching and I hadn't really had proper sleep in almost a week! So, I tried force feeding him...6 hours later he vomited it all over my bed. He licked a little food off of my fingers and I gave him his second dosage of Pepcid...and then his Clavamox. 45 minutes later, he vomits a little -- what looked like -- stomach acid or mucous, and then he proceeds to the litter box to excrete a puddle of diarrhea. Not exactly completely fluid-esque, but the consistency of pudding, I guess (sorry, gross image). I give him a little time and I run out to the grocery store after talking to my mom and I get him some pumpkin -- which he loved and I discontinued giving him due to his diabetes diagnosis -- and baby food. He eats a tbsp of the pumpkin, turkey baby food and chicken & rice baby food. I'm praying that he keeps this down & that the pumpkin bulks him up a bit. I have not given him anymore Clavamox or Pepcid as I think that that may have been what was initially irritating his belly...but my fear is also that the Clavamox -- which was his 4th dosage by this point -- hadn't had enough time to be absorbed into his system.

Has anyone had a kitty go refractory with their diabetes and then had to cope with trying to balance him back out again? I haven't tested his BG since he's eaten -- as I don't want to stress him out anymore & I want the food to stay down -- but after his first vomit (which was quite a lot) this afternoon, he was at 84. I'd like for him to stay at least 100, but I'll take 84. I will call the vet tomorrow morning no matter what, but any thoughts from anyone -- good or sad -- would be appreciated. I feel very much in the soggy (I can't stop crying, all week long...) dark right now...many thanks for your patience in reading this & your consideration.
