11/6 Karamelle AMPS 145 +2 208 +7 187 PMPS 191 +6 144

Well we were going along nicely and then..... BAM!!! :oops: I should have tested at +9 this morning, but I didnt set my alarm for that time and I didnt wake up, so... Anyway, I was still able to shoot as she went above 50 in 15 mins. I lowered the dose AGAIN! back to 0.25 so we start all over again.

I spoke the Animal Biome people about her fecal test results and she was deficient in a number of beneficial bacteria and had too much of one harmful bacteria, Im starting a regimen of Nexabiotic S. Boulardii, one a day (which they recommended strangely since they also sell this). But Id already been giving a Nexabiotic probiotic, so maybe they thought keeping the brand the same would be best. Also after Ive given that for about a week I start the Gut Restore (poop pills) (their product) until I finish the 60 capsules. Its supposed to be started slowly. I give one capsule, wait 3 days to see if its having any negative affects, then slowly increase till I get to 1-2 capsules a day. Im stopping the probiotic while Im giving this. This is her 3rd day of S. Boulardii. Wish us luck! 🍀🤞

Wow! that was a drop at her +12. Does she get symptomatic with those drops?
Did the vet do the fecal test or was that something you sent off to Animal Biome?
I hope the boulardii works!

I sent a poop sample to animal biome. They tested it and gave me a report of all the bacteria they found in it. Both good and bad.
She doesn't really get many symptoms, maybe a little subdued when she both high and low. One way I can tell she's low even before I prick is that her ears are usually cold and it's hard to get a blood bubble. When she's high it's just the opposite.

Whoa Karamelle! 😳
She really can dive! 🤿I’m glad she popped up and good luck with that reduction!

Let us know what you think of the fmt capsules and how she responds. I’ve had a few vets suggest using them but I hear they are large so I’m curious how it works getting het to take them and how she responds.

We have done their test 2x and they always suggest the capsules.
I wish it was an independent lab nothing to sell their own products.

I hope the current dose of S. Boulardii works well. Have a safe surf 🏄‍♀️ 🌊😻

I have done them a few times for other cats. Cant say I noticed much change, but the test results improved if I recall. It was a long time ago, so Im probably not really remembering it. The color of her poop seems to have gotten better in the last couple days, so maybe its working. I can go up to two capsules of the S. Boulardii if needed. I will try 1 for now tho. I havent started the poo pills yet, so i dont know the size but she handles pills very well. I just shove them to the back of her throat and squirt in some water thru the side so she can swallow. The S. Boulardii is pretty good size.

Wow, she takes those large S. Boulardii pills?
I sprinkle the contents in Ivy’s food. I’ve never shoved a pill that large down her throat 😳

I’m very curious what you think of the poop pills. Please let me know.
I assume you’ll have to repeat the test again after you give the course of pills to see what changed.
 
Oh my that is quite a drop! No one can scuba dive quite like Karamelle 🤿

I hope that the new regimen helps! And who knows… maybe as the gut biome / bacteria is restored, it’ll help with regulating her blood glucose to be a bit more stable and less yo-yo. I hope Miss Karamelle doesn’t have any tricks up her sleeve tonight!
