Hope everyone has a great hump day. We have another set of sever weather headed this way. Lovely!

In case you missed my post last night - it was the potassium that was making him icky feeling and causing the eating issues. I eliminated it last night and this morning - absolutely no issues with eating or eating it all!

This happened before. Not sure what I am going to do as he needs potassium but for now - eating trumps potassium.

I'm glad you figured out what was going on and he's eating good for you. Nice start today. I hope Gizmo surfs safely.

Glad you figured it out. What do you give the potassium for?

What do you give the potassium for?

He was low on his last BW. He has been low for almost a year. I don't fully understand but Marje explained it a while back. It has to do with both FD and the ckd. It is a balance thing to make things work like they should.

It is a double edge sword because early in ckd they tend to run low and as it progresses it runs high.

I don't know if he is safe or not to leave for work. If I don't leave right now I am going to have to wait out the storm that is coming. Any advise?

Sure didn't see that one coming.

Looks like Gizmo is on the move.

What type of potassium were you giving? Neko was getting potassium gluconate and it didn't seem to bother her.

Ignore my question, I just read last night's post.

Have you seen Dr. Lisa's post on the evils of dry food, even if it is low carb?

Yes. I am trying to get him to eat again right now. He ate his PS reluctantly about 15 min after shot. Ate +2 like he was starving. Just now tried to give him the +4.5 early and he won't touch it. This not eating with his numbers dropping make me extremely nervous. Last night I was looking for any solutions. Still considering. I don't know what to do.

 

[LizzieInTexas]

And I reset the autofeeder and it turned at the normal time and he licked it clean.

This cat is trying to kill me.

@Wendy&Neko
Need advise - let him ride? I am so tired and I am in pain I can't think straight. The drop between +2 and +4 really threw me.

Is this a bounce breaking?

 

[Wendy&Neko]

How long since he last ate? Has it all been LC so far?

And yes, looks like a bounce break with a small "high" (for what that is for Gizmo now) before going down.

Last food was an hour ago. LC only. I will do +5.5 in just a few minutes.

 

[LizzieInTexas]

'+5.5=83

Ok - I think it is safe for me to go to bed?

 

[Wendy&Neko]

Leave him one last LC snack, and I think you are good to hit the pillow.

He has one in an hour - good enough?

 

[Wendy&Neko]

Sorry, off making dinner. Yes, that should be good.
