The full moon seemed to make all the kitties want to taunt the sharks! Asia seemed interested to play with them too. I was really tired and gave her Karo at +6.5 so I could get a 2 hour nap in and I just didn’t wake up until 1 hour after AMPS! :eek: I saw “abducted by aliens” in someone’s SS notes once and inquired about it, that used to be a phrase for being a zombie and not able to wake up when you needed or intended to. I like it, I’m bringing it back! ;)

Woke up to a green preshot, but I feel like she had to go lower to come up to that for the AMPS because she just doesn’t typically surf, not overnight especially. :oops: If my hunch is correct about that, it’s going to be a Karo filled day (it has already begun).

I am over the moon that Asia seems to be in good spirits. Most of the days since starting this antibiotic she just wasn’t feeling well and it showed, her eyes were squinty, she was unsteady on her feet and just not herself at all, I was getting pretty down about it. For some reason she has perked up quite a bit, or as my daughter would say “She’s pulled an Asia”. :) I hope that means the antibiotics are working.

It sure is weird to me how telling the BGs are to how they are feeling in general. I’m excluding bounces from the equation, but general trend wise, it seems to be true for Asia at least. Maybe she’s also feeling better because I didn’t have to orally torture her to get a pill in last night.

Civvie Toki continues to eat her pills in the Toki truffles, so it’s very helpful to have one less dramatic sick kitty. She’s eating better, still not her usual amount, but so far no more diarrhea so the meds seem to be working.
 
I'm glad Asia is in good spirits. I hope she keeps feeling better and surfs safely for you today. It sounds like you really needed the sleep. I'm glad Tokit is still eating her truffles and eating better. Sending prayers. :bighug:
 
Lookin' good here...it sounds and seems like those ABs may have really kicked in. Fingers crossed things stay on this path...and safe surfing vines, too!

I really did, not sure why, her numbers have been high recently and I’ve had more consistent nights of sleep than I’ve had in months. I think exhaustion just builds upon itself sometimes and gets you.
 
That's low enough Asia! No need to tempt the sharks! :eek:
I had a cat Snickers who had a UTI. We tried a/b after a/b....didn't make her feel better or made her sick. Tried yet another....gave her first pill in the afternoon, 2nd one at bedtime. At 2:00 am I got up to check on her (she was feeling rotten enough that she wasn't sleeping with me anymore) and she got out of her bed, started running circles around my legs! I gave her some extra food and she gobbled it right up! What a difference a few hours on the right meds made!
 
Myagi sends happy :bighug::bighug:to both Asia and Toki :bighug::bighug: so glad to see report with both of them starting to feel better, and hence mama too! And apparently you being abducted by aliens works fine! :p

Thanks! Back at you, Myagi! :bighug::bighug::bighug:

It worked fine in that she didn’t have a serious episode while I was on the UFO, but boy does she ever want to visit her shark “friends” this morning! I’m positive I shot a falling number (an hour later than regular shot time I might add), maybe it was a double dip and she didn’t actually go much lower last night? Karo every hour on the hour, ugh! Seems like she really wants a reduction and would have it if I let her. Maybe she needed the 1.5 kick in the pants to get back to blues and greens and it’s done its job. Paws crossed for that! :cat:
 
You can exclude bounces but doesn't mean Asia will ;):eek::rolleyes: Yesterday morning was the 5th cycle from her greens and going down good into PMPS. Hopefully it's not a karo filled day and she just surfs.

Hi Karen! :)

It’s totally a Karo filled day! :facepalm: :rolleyes:

I mean I exclude the bounces in the way that if her numbers are just not good, consistently, there is generally something else going on with her (not diabetes related) and she feels like crap. If she has a bounce in to high numbers, she generally feels okay/acts pretty normal and it’s short lived and not indicative of pain or other issues going on. Her BGs are almost like a health thermometer.
 
So exciting that Asia ate her pill last night - that's amazing! Makes me tempted to try those Toki truffles on Darwin! (Maybe you should patent them? :joyful::p)

So glad to hear Asia is feeling better today. She has been in my thoughts, and it's great to hear she feels more like herself - I am sure you are so relieved to see her happier!! :bighug::cat::bighug:

This is so crazy true! And it's weird how they start adjusting to the changes. Darwin was initially cranky and not himself in blues and greens - preferred pinks and yellows, but once he trended down; he was MUCH happier in the normal range numbers!

Can’t hurt to try, I was stunned, shocked and amazed Asia ate them. We’ve tried to give her chicken, ham, etc. when we have big fancy meals on holidays because we want her to have a treat, with the exception of salmon, for the most part she won’t touch human food. The only cat “treats” she has ever really loved are ladybugs! o_O Processed cheese food, who knew? :joyful:

Asia was the same, she loved those pinks and it did shift, eventually!

I understand. If it wasn't for Doodles being diabetic and loosing regulation we would've missed his heart issues. Because of his numbers we got another year with him. You're home to watch her which is good. Don't think she'll be at the new dose for long though.

Aw, that is awesome you got an extra year, it is a gift from diabetes then, maybe it’s not all bad. :bighug:

She won’t, I think we will be back at 1.25 tonight. More Karo just now, still clinging to keep her barely in the 50s and the amount I’m giving her usually keeps her up for 2 hours. It’s a wonder she’s not zooming all over the house on a sugar high right now!
 
Asia ate her pill again tonight! She had a really excellent day, very happy and vocal and needing lots of love, very Asia like. :cat:

Toki chomped in to her pill tonight and spit it out, I tried again, she tried again, same result. I had to pill her. Not pretty, her mouth was chomped shut like a vice grip. Going to try pill pockets or something else creative tomorrow. 4 1/2 more days...
