Here's another update on Pepper. I finally have some good news. He's not a diabetic any more. He was only a transient diabetic because of the cortizone and prednisolone. He also didn't have to stay at the vets all day. I guess it was good that he wouldn't eat for me because then the insulin could have made his glucose level too low. His temperature was 104 degrees so the vet wants me to try to take his temp this weekend when he's calm. This way we'll know how much it's elevated due to stress. He was eating today and seems much more alert. He also has a bladder infection due to the high glucose level but hopefully the antibiotics will cure that. The vet will test him about 4-5 days after he's through with his meds to make sure that the infection has cleared up. When I was giving him his meds tonight, he was really fighting me and he gagged on the antibiotic pill and this caused him to throw up. It was mainly food so this is how I know he's been eating. I was able to get his pills down again but he later threw up one of the pills. It was the carafate one which is supposed to soothe him stomach. Another one of his tests which is for the pancreas won't be back until Jan. 31st. I sure hope that the ultrasound will show something so he can be treated for whatever is causing his infection.
