She was admitted at vets on Tuesday evening with a blood glucose of 16.5, which, thankfully came down fairly rapidly about an hour later. I was in the awful position of wanting to take her in about 1 - 2 hours earlier than I did but I had a really bad headache, I couldn't have walked to the end of the road let alone drive 20 miles and back, so had to 'rest' and get rid of the headache first. They kept her in 'til Thursday afternoon, she's been eating (and pooping) fine since she came home. I last saw her at 1.30 am where she was her usual bouyant self... grabbed a piece of black kale off me and ran across the room to show it to Binky (her usual evening routine).
So, first saw her shortly before 9.00 when she usually bolts out from wherever she is and nearly knocks me over, she's in her hidey place feeling sorry for herself. I usually watch them for an hour or two when doing a food refusal but when it's first thing in the morning I take the view that they could have been like that for quite a few hours already. I was just going to try to do a blood glucose reading myself but the cards are 2 years out of date so no point I saw the vet (Heather) do it on Tuesday evening and the ear is already shaved, I would be able to find the vein, I really felt I should be able to do this. Anyhow, vets have open surgery 10 - 11 so if poor Esme isn't feeling any better by the time I've had a quick shower she will be going back there.
