Not very happy with her yellow this morning but at least it isn't very high. I'm grateful that I got some sleep last night.

What I am looking for today (still) is the bouncing. I never thought Susie could ever stop bouncing but I have been encouraged the last few days. We will see.

Hope everyone stays safe and that Ida is finally heading out to see. In the old days these hurricanes would fizzle out shortly after making landfall. They are very different now. Must be global warming.

Hope you and Susie both have good days today! Hope that yellow is the highest she goes. Come on, girl!

 

[Summer and Susie (GA)]

Hope the storms have left your area, Pamela. I know how hard they are on you and your kitties.

Thanks, Andrea. I hope you are right about the yellow. I hope she hears you.

@Our Dolly Girl

I saw your comment yesterday about the protein in Dolly's urine. Susie also has that problem and has for months. The vets never bring it up so I have to. When I do they don't seem too concerned. Just say they will check it again in their next urinalysis. This has always bothered me because I worry about proteinuria. I hope both our kitties will be okay.

By the way, I hope you have a wonderful birthday weekend (9/4) and to @Diane Tyler's Mom I hope your Ashley has a wonderful birthday on 9/6!

Big drop from AMPS (212) to +2 (93). Gave a tsp of m/c to slow the drop down. @a_rose51 I think Susie might have heard you

Omg Susie! I didn’t mean drop that much. I meant a nice steady slide down to cozy range! Cats!!

 

[Mandy & Rex (GA)]

Hmm, I wonder what she did after that 97 last night to cause the yellow. Was she fed at that time?

She probably threw a yellow, just to be random.

I would check +3 because she dropped so much from AMPS.

@Bandit's Mom Hi, Bhooma. Do you think Susie is still under the influence of the 1.75 depot or is she seeing just the reduction to 1.5 units?

This is the 3rd cycle on 1.5U so I would say still the 1.75U is at play. She is looking good!

 

[Mandy & Rex (GA)]

If Susie manages to drop below 50 before 6 cycles, I'd take the reduction. If it fails, you can always take her back up.

Susie, level out!!

I forgot to put her food in for last night. I have updated her ss. She ate .75 oz l/c right after I got that 97. She could have gone lower but the 97 was right around her nadir time so I was thinking she would be coming up but who knows with this cat. Maybe this morning's yellow was her attempt at a bounce - although a weak one

You mean take another reduction if she drops below 50? I just reduced yesterday. Bhooma thinks the 1.75 depot is still in play so she may start to come up again soon.

After the +2 it makes me wonder if that AMPS was a bad test. Maybe test again next time you get a yellow when she's been surfing green for so long. Surf safely today Susie. How is your mom doing?

Better a day high than an hour too low. Yes, I know you just took a reduction yesterday morning. I hope she can work this dose a little longer.

Thanks, I was hoping that was not the case.

I guess I should have tested twice but I have been waiting for the bounce for so long I thought this was the day so the yellow did not surprise me. Mom is getting lots of Home Health people checking on her now. Thanks for asking, Carla. She has daily aches and pains and very little we can do about that. The Tylenol helps but she is too old for any surgeries.

 

[Bandit's Mom]

I beg to differ! This would apply if Summer was not able to monitor.
She has just taken a reduction and that depot is still adjusting. I would give this dose at least 4 cycles before taking another decrease.

I hope she can work this dose too. I don't want to be taking another reduction anytime soon and if the 1.75 depot is still in play I assume her numbers will start coming up once that is gone. Thanks for being in my corner

Thanks, Marina. Good to see Chico is still doing well with remission. Thanks for checking in on us.

Susie has some nice numbers and I'm really glad you got a bit of sleep. I hope the trend continues.

Thank you so much, Calvin and Hobbs! Sweet of you to think of me.

I woke up at 3, couldn't sleep. What are you doing here, watching the sunrise?

I get up at 5:30 am (EST) every morning. Yeah, I see the sunrise every morning thanks to my sweet Susie.

Every night it's the same thing, Marco needs to see what's under the covers.
Every morning he's either sitting on my chest or an inch from my face, "I know you're awake, feed me". Go away bad kitty
