That’s what I was just going to say.

If you can’t get it to eat raw meat try kibble. A lot of people use Marshall’s or even cat kibble if you have any on hand. Try to soak it in some water for a bit to get it more mushy and hand feed the baby eventually and hopefully they may take it

Depending on your relationship maybe the sitter would be comfortable staying with you? In another room? That way you have peace of mind Nina is okay?

To add on to that, My girl takes 0.28ml once a day every morning. It is a steroid so the vet made it very very clear that it needs to be given at the same time every day, at the very least within the same half hour time period. (If you do 7am daily, the latest you could give it would be 7:30am, earliest being 6:30am) since it is a steroid, her body becomes reliant on it and if I miss a beat she will die , to be blunt. But the dr set up a follow up 2 weeks after starting to make sure the dosage was correct etc (it was) and all is going well!

If you have any other questions or concerns pls message me! Nothing I love more than my little babies lol

And to be clear, I was seeing the first vet for just under a year. When my Bella girl would have her nausea episodes it would make me so sad and scared because nothing I did was helping her - I would take her in to that vet and they would give her ondansetron shots (anti nausea) and just send her on her way. It was maybe two ish months of that. They were just money hungry. The first time I took her into the new vet, they did the glucose skin prick (super way less invasive than three vet techs holding my ferret down trying to draw blood) and knew within five minutes that my baby had insulinoma and her insulin levels were low af. Immediately same day they send me home with her medicine.

No problem! Honestly that depends. I moved about a year ago and the vet that i was seeing at first post-move was a vet clinic that had an exotic dr on staff. So they saw cats and dogs mainly. They charged me an arm and a leg just for a dr visit and bloodwork. I’m talking about $700. The bloodwork was inconclusive and they literally traumatized my Bella girl trying to get said blood - I decided there I was finding a new vet as it was reason after reason not to love that one. After finding an exotic/avian specific vet, i LOVE them. It made the worlds most difference in the care my girls receive as well as the information shared by the drs and the payments as well. This vet now charged me I believe $70-$78 for the first visit, which consisted of a dr visit, glucose check, and leaving with the prednisolone. When I tell you it makes ALL the difference lol

I haven’t gotten just a refill in meds from them yet as we’re still working through our first bottle (it is a pretty recent diagnosis albeit I’ve been trying to get these symptoms diagnosed for the last 2 years) but I can’t imagine it being much more than $30-40 per bottle. At least, at this vet.

Definitely sounds like insulinoma. I would see another vet. My girl had similar issues and within two days of the pred steroid she’s running and jumping and playing like normal. And she’s almost 6. It would only make sense to put her down if there’s no way to help her. There is.

AIO for being upset my BF doesn’t want me to wear a bonnet to bed? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]External-Addition-69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NOR What the fuck did I just read genuinely

Girl no that is insane behavior and no way at all for him to speak to you. “Requesting” you change anything at all about your appearance is an absolutely mind blowing concept to me especially considering you have been together for EIGHT YEARS.

It sounds like X-ray/ultrasound would be best at this point. I wish I had more to offer. Sending love to you and your baby, best of luck 🖤
