I actually had to take a Lyft out there because he’s so much better than local doctors. He has an on-site lab and X-rays and such so I get results in an hour. Their other organs are looking good. Strong liver function, no signs of diabetic issues. They’re not letting me administer the sub-cu fluids so I have a vet tech coming Saturday to help with that. I’m at the stage where I’ve had to expand their diets to Weruva and other crack like no grain foods. One can’t handle grains and had bowel issues so they’ve been on frozen raw rabbit kibble for years but they’re not having it right now. They’re usually so ravenous (a Cornish Rex breed trait) it’s scary when they don’t cry out for food.

I had a similar situation with my cat. Does yours have elevated blood glucose? PSPS Jan 2018 #2

Nope, they have been very low carb for years. All meat and a little pumpkin now and again. bettyellen Jan 2018 #6

OK. I can't offer any advice then. PSPS Jan 2018 #7
