Felix Randomkitty Update Number Six:

I just got off the telephone with the veterinarian. She tells me that Felix is no longer on an IV. He was active yesterday, but is a little lethargic today. His blood sugar has been swinging from 60 (way too low) to 600 (way too high).

She believes he has turned the corner, but the blood sugar swings may be related to the fact that sometimes cats’ diabetes improve and only require diabetic cat food with no further insulin. She has discontinued his insulin as of yesterday and wants to observe him for one more day. She suggests one more day for him in the kitty hospital, to which I agreed. So Felix will not come home today.

I also asked her if it would be too much trouble if she could get a picture of Felix, herself, and the staff that saved his life, so I could post it here to Little Green Footballs.

“Sure!” she said. She will E-mail that to me, and I will post it here in a sidebar article summarising Felix’s brush with death.

So, one more day for the Kitteh of Chez Tumbleweed.
