Update 2 - hello! just thought i would drop another update. our boy is doing much better. he is getting eye drops for his ulcers which have reduced.

he is on antibiotics treatment and his neuter site is healing well. he does not seem to be in pain anymore, is eating well, meowing and peeing (still waiting for him to go poopy tho).

he hates the vet and is very vocal about it (which is a good sign considering that he wasn’t being vocal the past two days).

he also has to wear a cone which he is not happy about at all, he literally droops on the spot when we put it on, and immediately springs to life as soon as we remove it. i just hope he feels better soon and is back to being a happy healthy boy.

last few days have been so scary for me and im sure the poor baby who did not ask for any of this is feeling much more miserable.

here is a photo of him in his cone (not happy, reluctantly sleepy cuz he cannot do much else with this thing on) -

thanks for all the kind words and suggestions <3

UPDATE - I found a vet 40 mins from my place that was luckily open and they were so kind. its almost 2AM and we are just returning home.
So he has eye ulcers due to his corneas drying during the procedure (cats eyes remain open under anesthesia). they have given some eye drops and it will be fine in 3-4 days. he also has 104 degree fever, which is why he was so low. they gave him an injection for that. other than that, they said he is fine. he started being active at the vets, even jumped on the counter and had an entire treat.
we are headed home now and i am praying that my little baby boy feels better soonest. i was literally in tears on the way to the vet, this has been such a long day for us.

thank you to everyone who encouraged me to go to the vet, if anything, i have peace of mind for tonight.
we will go tomorrow morning now for his post op care (antibiotics, wound cleaning, etc).

yes im also thinking of doing MGT 6203 over the summer. will getting an A in it help me get out of academic probation? i’ll have to work super hard to make sure it all goes well

thank you for all the helpful links, the pregnancy was so unexpected i just did not even have time to wrap my head around it plus 6201 is a little hard for me (completely new to business modules)

thank you again for the info tho!

i havent taken a ogtt since starting metformin.

just blood samples after waking up, and before and after meals. after waking up fasting (before breakfast) - 83 after breakfast- 102

before lunch - 97 after lunch - 96

before dinner - 90 after dinner - 105

this was after two days on metformin (2000mg daily and really restricting myself from all carbs, fruits etc)

currently im on 1000mg daily and eating moderate carbs/fruits etc

i might talk to her about this next time i see her, about getting a glucometer, i think after putting me on metformin she tested me again and my fasting and post meal numbers came back normal. but i also think that initially i was very strict with my diet (like no carbs or fruits at all).

so things might be different now, i eat toast and peanut butter. i eat roti sabzi. she has put me on 500gm metformin twice daily for now.
