Thanks everyone for your thoughts...
Mikey's last blood tests (before these two this week) were a year and a half ago. Both times the glucose was elevated initially (though not to the point it is now) but with the fasting was normal.
So his elevated glucose from the test Monday could have been from the infection from the urinary blockage? The vet called on Saturday night with the new results and besides the increase in BUN and Creatinine, he didn't say anything else-though it is hard to understand especially over the phone. He did say that all signs of infection had cleared, which he felt was positive. Today at our appointment we'll get a copy of numbers from Saturday's blood test and see what they said. I'm worried as at the initial appt on Monday, the vet did say Mikey was slightly anemic (sp?). I know that drawing more and more blood just increases this risk factor...but not knowing what's going on could be just as risky...I don't know what to do.
Mikey is still really unwell. I spent yet another very sleepless night checking on him. He's weak and wobbly and in pain or uncomfortable. I tried giving him the antacid that the vet prescribed both last night and this morning, but it doesn't seem to be helping. He munched a little bit of chicken breast last night so I could give him his meds and licked at the new can of K/D I opened just now. But it was all half-hearted.
I don't know what else to do! I just wish he could tell me what hurts so I could try and make it better for him. My husband is taking a sick day today because we're scared to leave him.
Thanks for writing-it helps to know someone else understands.
