Panzer is doing really good so far with his reduction, hopefully it keeps going smoothly & he gets another one soon.

When I saw that 42 on the meter it really freaked me out but other than acting a little sleepy he was fine. He really loved the extra HC that I fed him twice to bring him back up into safe numbers.

Tonight he's acting his normal self trying to get my food as always :rolleyes: I have to stand up & eat most of the time because he is determined to smack my food off of my plate. He hasn't had people food in forever but he never gives up :smuggrin:

There was one thing on his urinalysis results that worries me. I will try to post a photo of it on here but for now I will just write it out.
Protein trace (high) the note says Microalbuminuria testing is recommended (if sediment is inactive) to help determine the clinical significance of proteinuria.
When I Googled it, it talks about the heart & CKD which his bloodwork the last few times has been pointing towards CKD. Is anyone familiar with what this is saying? It recommends an ultrasound & possible biopsy on Google, at this point I can't even afford bloodwork let alone the other 2 things.

I think the new feeding schedule has really helped with Panzer's #s & getting the reduction. I am slowly trying to ween them off of the ondansetron & MIrataz. Spook has been the hardest, he so far has to have mirtaz daily Panzer every other day. They are both down to ondansetron @ AMPS feeding only. Which should I try to elimate all together first the ondansetron or the Mirataz? Spook is showing improvement finally this week. He's been eating all of his food & begging for it sometimes. https://felinediabetes.com/FDMB/thr...69-4-68-5-54-6-58-7-61-8.268201/#post-2998206
 
What was the value of the urine protein? If high enough, a test called a urine protein/creatinine ratio should be run. More here: http://www.felinecrf.org/proteinuria.htm

Don't give Miritaz (an appetite stimulant) without also giving nausea meds (ondansetron). I would try removing Miritaz first. Ondansetron doesn't last all day, needs to be given more than once per day.

It just says protein trace (high). Thanks for a link I will check it out @Wendy&Neko

They were taking the ondansetron twice a day but I weaned them down to once a day. I will try skipping the Mirataz on both of them tomorrow & see how it goes.

@Wendy&Neko I don't know if this means anything but his labs from 06-23 his protein was 7.3 albumin 3.5 globulin 3.8
 
I was interested in his urine protein (not blood protein), either it's positive and a number, or negative. If just trace, not so much to worry about yet. I didn't get Neko tested for proteinuria until it got up to +3.

Ok it says negative so I guess we are good for now. I was trying to post a picture of it on here,but it won't let me on my tablet or my phone. I will get my desktop up & running this weekend.
 
I fed them what I thought was higher in carbs than it was but it ends up it's only 4% carbs where as they normally eat 2-3% carbs. Looks like I will be testing again soon.
 
Panzer is not feeling well, I don't think it a pancreatitis flare up but rather that he's constipated. He's still getting mirilax 2xs a day. I may try some psyllium husk later in a gel pack (size 5) inside a pill pocket. He's eating well no mirataz today just ondansetron. I was going to stop mirtaz on Spook today but he didn't want to eat AMPS feeding :banghead: he ate all but 2tsps with coaxing & fortiflora.
