010: Diabetic Ketoacidosis: Too High For Too Long

12/17/2019

This week are continuing our diabetic run. We are discussing the nitty gritty details of what happens to a pet's body when there is too much sugar circulating around. Ketones are produced, the body gets angry, and the technician is responsible for caring for this pet. 

Show Notes:

Join Yvonne Brandenburg, RVT, VTS SAIM and Jordan Porter RVT, LVT, VTS SAIM as we talk about:
  • When blood sugar is too high for too long, it in turn causes the body to produce ketones and become acidotic. We discuss the nitty gritty of this process.

For you catheters, because these patients are hospitalized for up to a week or longer, what is your protocol for changing them? The general rule is every three days however I have read they can stay in longer. Plus doing a catheter change unless it's no longer patent or showing signs of infection is just adding unnecessary stress to a patient.
