Calloway's eating!! update 12/2

[jennielynn1970]

Well, tomorrow at 11:15, Calloway and I have an appointment at the vet to see how well his diet is working, and if his glucose has come down at all. I'm hoping things have been working in his favor. I do think he's lost weight. He looks less round to me, lol. The scheduled feedings have been working really well, surprisingly, and the only ones having issues with wanting snacks in between feeding times are Zachariah and Furbee.

Keep Calloway in your thoughts please, and hope that his glucose has come down and that he won't need insulin!

Morgan and I are hoping for good numbers for him in the morning. Can he eat before the checkup? When they were checking Morgan's sugar levels he could never eat or have insulin in the morning before the test. Now they tell me he can eat, but I always try to get him there first thing without having food.

They never said not to eat, but I can give him just a little really early.. like 6am. He won't be happy about it, lol, but if it's better for his numbers, we'll definitely do that.

I really hope it is good news for Calloway tomorrow! He is a handsome cat. I hope his wheezing stops too...poor guy. Please give him a head scratchie for me!!

Calloway, praying here for good news and that you are on the right track! Give him a cuddle for me!

All I know is that eating makes sugar go up. They always Morgan to eat when he got the insulin shots. I think that was supposed to help prevent a sudden drop. I ask them about it now and they said that it didn't matter if he's eaten or not really. They said that if it is going to be high it will be high any time of day. I don't quite understand the reasoning behind that, so I try to go before he has eaten. Maybe if he eats several hours before the tests it won't make much difference.

I hope Calloway's appointment goes really well and that his weight and his glucose are both down! Please let us know how it turns out.

I was wondering about Cal. Hope things are improving for him.
