Update: "we're not sure"
Everything says one thing, bloods say another, but everything could also be explained by other means. So we have some test strips and we're gonna see if we pick up ketones at home.
Dunno if 'we're not sure' is better than a diagnosis? But she has just been through a period of stress, maybe enough to throw her cortisol levels and body into a state of dysfunction. Hopefully things calm down, including a lack of keytones.
well that's the thing - it could be stress, from the boys and from the vet, it could also be a sudden weight loss from the boys stress / no longer finishing off misha's meals as well (she's the same weight as last vet visit, but she did pork up a hot minute in the interim). Or we could have literally caught the diabetes at the instant it started to develop, but before any symptoms. it's a three way tie
Only time will tell, and we know she's in the best hands 🧡
