I forgot to put CBD hemp oil in Maggie's +9 for last night, so this AMPS might be lower if I'd remembered. No matter, this is a good start.
Hope everyone has a great day!

Maggie is looking good. Cute picture.

I don't have much experience with interstitial cystitis (Trix started having this issue a month or so before she crossed, so not a lot of time to figure it out), but I had heard that Adequan, which is primarily used for arthritis (and is amazing for it) can also be helpful in treating IC, so that could be something to look into as well.

@Amy&TrixieCat Thanks for responding! Maggie is currently taking Adequan for arthritis, but I'll try to find out if a different dosage is needed for IC.

Hope Maggie is feeling better really soon and then those stubborn AMPS will come down!

It still turned into a great cycle though!

Sorry you had to go to the vet yesterday, Maggie! I hope you got a "sick present" for being such a brave girl.
Purr,
Felix

Do special treats count as a "sick present"?

Do special treats count as a "sick present"?

Yes! ... as long as there's enough of 'em.

Nice little cycle today , hope the benazepril helps.

Can you describe the head pressing? I have never heard of it before now.

Can you describe the head pressing? I have never heard of it before now.

There's mention of it on Tanya's under Hypertension. It says, "Humans with high blood pressure often report having a very bad headache. There is no way to know if our cats have a headache, but I have heard of a couple of cats pressing their heads against walls, which might be indicative of a headache. Such behaviour is sometimes also seen in cats with brain tumours." I was sitting at a desk that has a drawer above my legs. Maggie was on my lap and she turned her head, lowered it, and pressed her forehead against the drawer.

Hmmm, Gizmo does similar but it is more like head butting/rubbing. I have a note for his BP to be tests again when I go to the vet. He was tested about 2 years ago and it wasn't a concern (per the vet and I don't remember the number).
