OMC! Well, what a lovely way to wake up. I found a pmail from Eddy telling me to wake up and that I was a DDP for today. Thanks for sharing the good news with me, Hazel Lucy! Thank you Catster HQ and Diary Gal. Oh wow. *claps paws*
I finally came out of hiding late yesterday. I was taking NO chances that I would be placed in THAT prison carrier and carted off to see the Doc Doc. Nosiree! Not happening if I can help it.
I would like to concatulate Maynard on being COTD, Eddy on being COTW, and Orlando Blue on being a DDP with me. Nice to see furiends on the honors pages.

Well, I heard the prison carrier come out this morning and I immediately went into seclusion and hiding. My meowmy keeps calling me but I will NOT come out. She even told me that I was acting goofy because the prison carrier was NOT for me. I DON'T believe her... I did hear Baby G's yowls and know she was carried out and gone for a while BUT I do NOT trust my meowmy not to capture me and take me to the doc doc too... I think I will stay in hiding today.
I overheard my meowmy talking about my Vetsulin. Many of you know there was a problem in the Vetsulin. I have been on Vetsulin since my diabetes was found and have done furry well since the correct dosage was found. It is furry upsetting to my meowmy to know I have to change my insulin now. Meowmy is going to my doc doc's on Tuesday to be shown the new dosage. My doc doc has chosen Glargine U100 insulin (Lantus) for me. I am to start with 2 1/2 units in the AM and then 2 units in the PM. Meowmy just wants to be shown how to measure because my doc doc told her the syringes were different sized. That scares my meowmy and she doesn't want to mess up.
Here is the notice from the FDA regarding Vetsulin ~
FDA’s Center for Veterinary Medicine Alerts Veterinarians About Problems with Vetsulin® to Treat Diabetes in Dogs and Cats
November 2, 2009
The Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM) and Intervet/Schering-Plough Animal Health are alerting veterinarians and pet owners that Vetsulin®, a porcine insulin zinc suspension used to treat diabetes in animals, may have varying amounts of crystalline zinc insulin in the formulation. Because this Intervet/Schering-Plough Animal Health product is out of specification it could cause a delay in insulin action and an overall longer duration of insulin activity. Products having significant problems with stability can affect the management of chronic diseases. Unstable insulin products can result in unpredictable fluctuations in the glucose levels of diabetic patients. Intervet/Schering-Plough Animal Health is unable to assure FDA that each batch of their product is stable.
FDA and Intervet/Schering-Plough Animal Health request that veterinarians closely monitor their patients receiving Vetsulin® for any changes in onset or duration of activity, or for any signs of hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia. The classic signs of hyperglycemia include increased thirst, increased urination, weight loss and lethargy. The classic signs of hypoglycemia would include disorientation, unsteadiness, weakness, lethargy, and seizures.
While Intervet/Schering-Plough is working with FDA on resolving this issue, supplies may be limited. Therefore, veterinarians should consider transitioning their diabetic patients to other insulin products. In addition, FDA encourages veterinarians to report any adverse events with the Intervet/Schering-Plough Animal Health product to the company through the Technical Services Department at 1-800-224-5318.
Eddy sent me a yummy shrimp. She said, "Thank you so much sweet Hooch fur the plaque. I love it and you ! Here's some yummy shrimp furiend. Love & Purr's, Eddy"

Jarvis and his pawsome furmily sent me a fun acorn. They said, "Good luck on the new meds, we hope it is a smooth transition. We love the Dr. Hooch look! Purrs for a happy fall, Jarvis and Furmily"
My sweet sisfur Sunflower was a DDP honoree today. I want to concatulate her. I wonder if she mentioned any bodily functions to get the attention? Hmm, it doesn't sound much like her but... you never know.
Today, Lola sent my furmily and me a purrty heart. She said, "Thanks for the pretty rose with the sweet message and congratulations when I was Cat of the Day, Hooch. You and your crew helped make it a very special day! I hope you're continuing to have good days. I'm always purring for you. prrrt, Lola" Please keep sweet Lola in your purrs and prayers.
