News from the vet’s office is that she made it through the night.....that was not in question until they tried to get blood and she fought tooth and nail.
She is very grumpy with the staff.
WELL THAT IS A GOOD SIGN. SHE IS NORMALLY GRUMPY.

Taking blood to measure blood sugar levels is best done at home. Cats are notorious for becoming so upset in veterinary settings that the results cannot be trusted! Better to wrap kitty in a towel with her head sticking out, and quickly pierce the ear (there is a blood vessel that runs along the edge of the ears) and get a sample. That will yield a far more reliable number than the values obtained in an unfamiliar, stressful environment.

Great! May she recover fully. (And grumpily.)
