Hi all. We've had a few rough days here. Grandpa hasn't been very interested in his food, and he has been less engaged than usual. This followed several days of very high numbers and one night of gorging himself on wet food and Dr. Elseys.
Last night I honestly thought I might have been saying goodbye. He felt rail thin to me, and he vomited at 1 AM. What he threw up was very thick and rope-like... only maybe 3 inches long. After that he jumped on the bed and curled up against me and laid very still for a long time. I just stroked his fur and talked to him, thinking he might be gone when I woke. He then jumped back down and laid on the floor by my bed. He looked so frail
He woke me up at his normal 5:30 asking for breakfast. He ate about 1/2 to 3/4 of a can of Halo and tested at 228. He was bright eyed and following us around. Just now he ate another 1/2 can of Halo without any topper. I tested him, and he is at 108!
So, Grandpa is once again taking me into new territory with lower numbers, a seemingly normal but not ravenous appetite, etc. I don't know if these numbers are an anomaly or if we're finally making a breakthrough, but I plan to test often. Any thoughts are welcome!
