We picked up Ali from the vet yesterday on the way home from work. She still hadn't given the vet a urine sample. She held her pee from the time she was dropped off in the morning until the time that we picked her up! They said that they weren't surprised by that though because a cat can hold it for a long time.
Anyhow, they gave me a kit to use to get a sample from home. So we gathered Ali up and started for the house (only 2 minutes away, literally). Well, Ali couldn't hold it anymore, she peed in her carrier on the way home and I just happened to be holding her. Now it wouldn't have really been a big deal, but the carrier is not one of those hard plastic carriers, it's one of the those that looks like a duffle bag. So, needless to say, I got soaked w/ pee The good news from that is that I was able to get a little sample from the bottom of the carrier and it was enough for the vet to do their tests. After I took the sample back to the vet, they said that they wanted me to start Ali on some antibotics incase she has any type of infection, so I paid for her visit ($200.00 not as bad as I thought it was going to be) and left w/ the antibotics. They called me an hour later and said that there was only a trace of glucose in her urine, so until the fructosimine test came in we should cut her insulin back to 1/2 a unit. The doctor thinks that the trace amount of glucose was from Ali being stressed. And they started the bacterial test on the urine. The doctor said that she really doesn't think that Ali has diabetes anymore...YEAH!!

I got a call today from the doctor about the fructosimine test and it was at 340 (should be under 300). She also said that there was something growing on the bacterial test. She asked me how Ali's intake of water was today and I told her that it hasn't been as much which she thought was good. She told me to keep Ali at the 1/2 unit of insulin for now. She wants to wait until the bacterial test is complete and then go from there. She still doesn't think that Ali has diabetes anymore, but there is something else going on that is causing her sugar levels to be inconsistent. So, it' s a waiting game. She told me to call them on Wednesday and depending on the outcome of the bacterial test I may have to try to get another sample of urine from Ali.

So, we wait. I'll continue to keep you all posted on how she is doing.
