Very late post today. More very disgusting poops several times today
Poor baby. She must feel like crud.
She’s eating ok though

She had a messy poop when it was time to go to the vet and I had to try to clean her up and rush to the vet. They even clipped some messy fur under her glorious tail to help

She got a B12 shot and they have to order a bottle for me for next week to use at home.

Can we use U 100 insulin syringes with B12? (The syringe needles they showed me were very large)
I thought there was a post about that yesterday.

I decided at 7 am today that I needed to make her new lamb recipe with the new completer to see if that makes a difference.
Her prior completer had an expiration date in June. So I thought maybe that caused an issue since it was used in her food.
Or, as others have mentioned, perhaps her lamb novel protein isn’t working for her any longer.

My vet thinks I should stop the S. Boulardii since it appears to be doing nothing at this point. Also will attempt to stop the Ondansetron again. it doesn’t cause an eating issue.

I had activated her Libre yesterday, and this morning she was in a low BG range (70s on a handheld meter). So of course the damned sensor failed from low BG

We sure appreciate all the vines and good wishes from all of our friends here. It means a lot to us.
I’m fighting to help her feel better
She’s had a really hard few weeks

Hope everyone is doing well and all kitties are eating and pooping well with very safe surfing.

She AND you have had a hard few weeks. I really really sorry about all of it, you can't catch a break

Hoping for some improving poops! And a bit of a break for you
She's in the best hands though with you caring for her though

Why stop ondansetron if she’s not eating well? I have used insulin syringes when giving B12.

You’re such a wonderful mom to Ivy, Staci. She’s so lucky to have you fighting for her. Sending you lots and lots of love and healing vines for solid poops, recovered appetite, and most importantly no more of that nasty p-titis!

At the moment she’s eating five (anti jinx).
I had 2 vets agree it “can” cause diarrhea.
So they felt to try to eliminate it.

If needed I will add it back in

So if the dose is 25 ml/cc, what is it on u 100?

Is the B-12 dose 0.25 ml?

If so, then you draw to the 25 unit line on a U-100 insulin syringe.

Note to anyone reading that you would draw to a different line on a U-40 insulin syringe.

Staci, I’m assuming they ordered you a bottle of B-12 cyanocobalamin that’s the same strength they used today, but it would be a good idea to confirm the dosage (in mls) they want you to give when you pick it up.

FYI, in my experience, most of the B-12 dispensed to cats is 1000 mcg/ml, with a dose of 250 mcg per shot, which is 0.25 ml. However, there are also 3000 mcg/ml and 5000 mcg/ml options available, so worth double checking what you get.

(sorry if that’s too much info!)

Added benefit …. B-12 cyanocobalamin shots can perk up a cat’s appetite.

Sending these
And a couple of these
And a dash of healing dust

Aren't the poopy pants the worst! I used to feel awful for my little man. With his IBS, I did have to switch to a novel protein more often than the vet originally thought we would need to. Psyllium fiber helped A LOT!
