04/04 J.D. +3.5 350 (Gave R), +4.75 306, +5.75 246, +6.75 24
I gave J.D. some R at +3.5 because he was still at 350, and he is now holding steady at 246.
He is still sitting on the couch from this last test, probably waiting for more treats, but has been spending his morning out on the porch. He feels good.
We (huh!) were able to successfuly give fluids this morning to Mr. Man. He's still not eating on his own, so I continue to give him syringes of pureed food. He's fine taking it while wrapped up in a blanket. Otherwise he's feisty without.
My neighbor is still a pain to deal with and starts saying in a high emotional voice that we're doing it wrong, because the flow was only dripping in the clear plastic thing at the top of the line, and he thought it should be streaming. Anyway, I demanded that I would be the one this time to hold the cat and place the needle, and by turning the needle a little the flow started streaming, and the fluids were done in a matter of minutes.
The story is: My neighbor's wife and daughter went on vacation to Florida last Thursday, and will be home next Saturday. John, the husband, will not clean the litterbox. So, I was asked by Laurie, the wife, to clean the litterbox each day. The first day, last Thursday, I knocked 4 times and rang the doorbell 2 times, and got no response. The next day Friday, before going to work, I knocked, and my neighbor yelled down through the closed door, that he was okay and would clean the litterbox himself. Friday night after work, I knocked, and he answered the door and told me the reason he wouldn't answer was because he didn't want me upset because of how Mr. Man was doing. I went up and started the syringe feeding on Friday night, and he took the cat to his Aunt's to get the fluids on Saturday. Hopefully, Mr. Man will be eating on his own soon.
Meanwhile, John is putting new brake pads on my car, just so I can get to Midas tomorrow morning, to get the brakes fixed. I am driving with metal to metal right now...I just had new brakes put on like last November, and I am not a hard braker. Rusty old car. Wish me luck tomorrow.
I'm going back outside in the sun, with my cats for a while. Hope everyone is enjoying the day
