01/23 Whiskers AMPS 333 PMPS 313

[Cheryl & Whiskers (GA)]

Good Morning,

Whiskers AMPS is 333. She slept on the bed and purred last night :razz: , so that is very nice.

She is still having trouble urinating outside the box, but hopefully our visit to the U of M this week will help us get to the bottom of that, as well as Whiskers other issues.

Her ears do not appear to have so much brown gunk, and tonight will be our 10th night using Zymox hc and than we will check with the vet to see if we can discountinue.

Have a nice day.

Cheryl --

What medication is Whiskers on for his hypertension?

Re: 01/23 Whiskers AMPS 333

Hi Sienne,

Whiskers takes Amlodipine besylate 2.5mg 1/4 tablet by mouth every 24 hours.

Should I include her medication somewhere on our profile?

Re: 01/23 Whiskers AMPS 333

When you have a chance, this is the link to where the template is for a profile. You attach it to your signature the same way you did your SS.

If there is any way you can work in some PM checks it will make it much easier to consider dose adjustments. Is a before bed test possible? Or is it possible to move your shot times so you can get a PM spot check. The reason it's helpful is that we don't know if Whiskers is seeing lower numbers at night and then bouncing to higher numbers by AMPS. You're seeing some of this with the blue nadirs -- if you look at the SS, on some days when there's a blue nadir and Whiskers bounces to high numbers by PMPS. A bounce can last up to 72 hours.

Best of luck to you....Tues???
Ive got me a 12 hr day tomorrow, so I thought I would offer my wishes a bit early.
Remember...he is a bit of a fast talker. Jot notes quickly, and ask him to repeat! :lol:

I hope Whiskers and you come out of this with some explanations and a good plan of action!

And yes, any meds are good to add - not just to profile (if life long), but to ss in the notes section w/ time you give.

Thank you all who have donated to help with Whiskers's appointment at the University vet school. And thank you to all who can't donate but who wish Cheryl and Whiskers well, whether you type it or not.

DCIN has collected $280 of the $480 it promised to Cheryl, and I am hoping to raise the remaining $200 before the appointment tomorrow at 10am central. Even $5 adds to the total.
