Hi and Merry Christmas to All
I have been sending emails regarding bud for the past week.
here's a refresher.
Bud is 7 years old. I was told 1 week ago that he has insulinoma, his glucose level was 30, yes 30. he was put on prednisone 1.25mg twice a day. he still was not okay, 'sleeping' all the time. great appetite and really good about taking his med with chicken baby food. the pred was increased .75mg twice a day. I still don't think that he is okay. this morning he had foam coming out of his mouth, he is still sleeping all the time. he has only had two doses of the increase.
I was instructed to give him sugar (all I have in honey)) after I noticed the foam. he has been sleeping since. this whole episode happened 3 hours after his last dose of med.
Missy has had insulinoma for 8 months and has been symptom free until a week ago. she needed a med increase. she has been on 1.25mg for the past 8 months. how come she has done so well and Bud is having such a hard time.
Also, could somebody please tell me what a seizure looks like.
I am extremely upset and stressed at this time and I don't think that I am thinking clearly. please help if you can.
thanks
Bud, Missy, and Mom.
