Hello everyone,
I was hoping to provide a reduction update earlier, but Lou failed with a blue on the 7th day in greens. So we continued on the 0.5u dose. He technically earned a reduction on January 3rd from 7 days in greens, but I didn't realize it until after I'd dosed him yesterday morning. I figured one more day at 0.5u wouldn't hurt anything, but he randomly popped a 123 last night! No idea where that came from. If it would have been under 105, I probably would have still reduced, but 123 is higher than I was willing to play with. It felt like a shaky place to attempt a reduction, so we're still on 0.5u for now. So moral of the story is Lou's kind of a jerk, haha.
I won't complain too hard about continuing to dose on the line though.
In other news, Bella looks like she's still lost weight, but Caleb feels like she might have plateaued for now. Although money is tight, we've decided to go ahead and schedule her a dental, which is on January 15th. We've decided to apply for Care Credit to help pay for it. She seems to be eating better lately, but I think it has something to do with me taking the time to really slurry her food to cut down on chewing. Even with that, she's been holding her head totally perpendicular to the floor while eating at times, so I think the dental should help wonders either way. I think I'll let her heal and bring her in to the vet again to see what else is up. I thought I'd have enough time to bring her in before the dental, but I was pleasantly surprised when we were able to get her in in weeks instead of a month or more.
I hope you all have a wonderful day and your kitties surf safely.
