Member Since 2010
Morning all,
last night was rough...i tested him as far as +6 88...fed at +6.5 and i went to bed trying to rest....i got up at his +7.5 to check on him and see if he had eaten on his own...nothing...so i went back to bed and i set the alarm and got up at +9.5 in the hopes he would have eaten something....nothing....so i fed him...

i have a time feeder but if he isn't going to the food though he was in the dinning room most of the night...then it's pointless using it...it worked wonders when he ate kibbles but ever since FD dx then good bye kibbles and he said good bye time feeder....but he used to go to his bowl and eat....hasn't done that since this whole ordeal with him getting sick started...

didn't test him further as i figure he would be up anyways...and i was more concerned with him eating

yesterday viewtopic.php?f=9&t=34073

this morning so far
amps 133 fed
+0.75 no testing but fed a lil bit here
+1.5 no test but fed again
+2 59 fed again
+2.5 59 fed again
+3 67 he didn't want to eat
+3.5 68....fed, gave fluids and got chicken dust....

testing in 15 mins which takes us to +4.5

busy morning and busy night

hope all is well with you guys...he is not eating still on his own and not sure how long this is gonna last...vet sent off the blood they had taken to get the fpli test and see if indeed it may have been a pancreatitis flare up....

this is oh so very tiring...mentally, physically and emotionally....if we had to deal with one illness it would be ok...but juggling a few it drains you....

hope Blackie is doing better....sorry if i have not visited condos in a while...i am extremely tired....and coffee doesn't work at all....

This is just a suggestion... others, please weigh in if this is a bad idea for Rocket right now, but fortiflora includes the flavoring in it that makes dry food so addictive for kittehs. When Willie isn't eating and I need him to, I wave the open fortiflora packet under his nose, get him good and interested, then sprinkle it on his food. Works every time.

I hope you are able to get some rest today!

(((Claudia))) I'm so sorry Rocket still isn't eating well. I wish I knew some magic that would work. Are you giving him the Cypro? Is it working or can you give a larger dose? I know you don't want to use the Mirtazapine, but it has worked wonders for Blackie. I'm sending prayers for Rocket and you. We want you both to feel better.
 
Re: 1/11 Rocket AMPS 133 +2 59 +2.5 59 +3 67 +3.5 68

(((Claudia))) You sound so exhausted, I hope you can rest here and there. I'm glad they are sending the test for pancreatitis, knowing is better than not knowing IMO.

I'm no help, I wish I was closer so I could do something! I'm still sending positive thoughts and healing/eating vines your way...
 
Re: 1/11 Rocket AMPS 133 +2 59 +3 67 +3.5 68 +4.5 83

looks like he is up...+4.5 83 he is sleeping and i will try to feed him at +5 and test at +5.5

no rest for this bean...as i will be heading out at his +5.5 to the dr...off to get part 2 of a procedure done...got part 1 back in dec...so i will be a mess coming back here....DH took the day off to take me this time...healthwise i am a mess....and need to take care of things before i find a job...so can't postpone this either....they told me this time it will take prob 2 hrs max so hopefully he will eat while i'm away...but i doubt it....

off to prep his food and then feed him then get ready...
 
Re: 1/11 Rocket AMPS 133 +2 59 +3 67 +3.5 68 +4.5 83

(((Claudia)))....I pray your procedure goes well and Rocket will start to eat. I think Christie had a great idea with the fortiflora but I know you have tried many things. You do sound so exhausted and I worry about you so much esp that you have been sick and now this medical procedure. Sending more snowflakes for you and Rocket.
 
Re: 1/11 Rocket AMPS 133 +2 59 +3 67 +3.5 68 +4.5 83

((((((Claudia)))))))) hope things go well for you today and sending more healing vines to Rocket you might want to look into trying the Mirtazapine it worked wonders for my Voodoo last fall when he refused all food he had some kind of virus the vet thought. Mailed your food yesterday as well do not know how long the mail takes to get your way.

Claudia, I hope your procedure goes well today. You and Rocket have gone through so much in the last month -- you both deserve some good things happening soon. I hope that Rocket will have eaten while you were away and you can come home to a clean dish. Sending healing prayers.
 
Re: 1/11 Rocket AMPS 133 +2 59 +3 67 +3.5 68 +4.5 83

Hi Claudia & Rocket,
You have certainly been through the proverbial mill and I do hope that today will be the day that things turn around for both of you. Sending all varieties of healing, comforting, eating, feeling-better vines.
I agree that you might give FortiFlora a try. It's a probiotic and might help. I don't think it has anything in it that would hurt Rocket. I gave it to Rusty after he had just finished a course of antibiotics (he had had a URI right before he came to live with us) to get some "good" intestinal bacteria started again in his digestive tract. He liked the flavoring in his food a lot.

Many :YMHUG: :YMHUG: :YMHUG:

Re: 1/11 Rocket AMPS 133 +2 59 +4.5 83-from bad to worse

got the procedure done....i'm in pain and extremely uncomfortable.
Rocket did not eat while we were out

with that said....i really can't take more....my plate is more then full.....

we came home to FLOODING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

enough is enough....i'm in tears as i have had enough...............exactly a year to the day we dealt with flooding as some moron upstairs trying to save money hired a FRIEND for a plumber and that dude did not turn off the pipes....so needless to say we had to move out 2 weeks while they replaced our floors....it was a nightmare....

this flooding is in the bathroom....coming from upstairs....we went to knock on doors and people are probably at work....i'm in pain but right now too much on the go and i have had it.....ENOUGH!!!!

fed Rocket and have not tested....waiting to hear from the property manager to see what's going on....DH is cleaning up the mess as i type here....

so much for coming home to take a nap or relax......the last 2 yrs have been miserable for us here....and 2011 has proved to be not a good year so far for me.....

thanks Lisa, i will let you know when it comes...
Linda, i just got the pkg as i was getting home....insulin arrived cold....have few questions but will pm you when the coast clears here....
 
Re: 1/11 Rocket AMPS 133 +2 59 +3 67 +3.5 68 +4.5 83

I know what is happening is not good, but the numbers sure are--
Prayers that your procedure will be quick & you will be well And Healing vines & prayers for dear Rocket, who I feel is on the brink of getting better--
Hope you all have an easier day tomorrow & you both feel well--Hugs from us!
 
Re: 1/11 Rocket AMPS 133 +2 59 +4.5 83-from bad to worse!

Awwwww man!!
I am so sorry this all seems to be going from bad to worse for you :sad: But as mentioned it looks like Rockets numbers are quite decent, although him eatting more on his own would be better..
Listen, sending so many thoughts and hugs to you!
I hope things turn around for your ENTIRE clan soon!!!
 
Re: 1/11 Rocket AMPS 133 +2 59 +4.5 83-from bad to worse!

Claudia, I'm so sorry for all the non-fun stuff you have going on. Sleep deprivation makes everything worse, too. I hope you can get more comfortable and fall asleep for a bit. Hopefully, DH can coax Rocket to eat some more while you rest. Hugs to you...
 
Re: 1/11 Rocket AMPS 133 +2 59 +4.5 83-from bad to worse!

Oh Claudia I am so sorry to hear about the flooding that has to be so upsetting hope that gets taken care of soon with the landlord sending lots of support to help you feel better and try to relax if at all possible since you need to recover from what you had done and sending some more healing vines for Rocket hope he eats tonight ((((((((HUGS)))))))

Re: 1/11 Rocket AMPS 133 +2 59 +4.5 83-from bad to worse!

I'm sorry Claudia. It seems when it rains it really pours. Hang in there and just deal with what you can. Sending lots of hugs.
 
Re: 1/11 Rocket AMPS 133 +2 59 +4.5 83-from bad to worse!

I hope you have a very large bottle of something alcoholic within reach and avail yourself of a very large glass. You deserve a bit of an escape. Failing the utility of alcohol, please make friends with Ben & Jerry. They seem to know how to make most things better, at least temporarily (and don't even thing about waistline related issues).

((((Claudia))))

Oh. And evict the neighbor.
 
Re: 1/11 Rocket PMPS 131

it's been pouring for a long long time Karrie! don't see the light at the end of the tunnel....someone must be doing something on me....whatever it is...i would like to wake up from this nightmare.....

Sienne, sending DH to get me something strong to put me out of my misery for a few hrs....

moral of the flooding...or should i say story........NEVER leave your WINDOWS open when it's frigging cold outside (-23C plus windchill made it -35C).....the moron upstairs....5 floors up...left his window open and who knows how long cause that cause the pipe to burst....so it trickled all the way down.....and water travels oh so very fast.....

we all own our condos here in this buiding but the odd unit is rented out....they happen to be renters....so i don't know what will happen and now we have to deal with our insurance yet again....last year's mess was ONE floor above this one...so one would have thought they learned the lesson from their above neighbours but i guess NOT.....i'm beyond pissed (sorry but meds are talking here)....tomorrow morning they're coming again to take note and assess all the damage and depending what they tell us we will either stay while they fix the bathroom walls and whatever else they find OR we have to move out for who knows how long....last year it was 2 weeks...it was a nightmare....as Rocket does not deal well with change...

i don't even wanna think anymore...my brain is fried and tired of spinning....with or without meds...this is oh sooo tooo much toooooooo take.....

anyhow.....Rocket ate 1/4 FF can when we got home to find the mess...so i figure no test and leave more food out and see if he eats more....as it was only roughly his +8 but he didn't....he slept and i managed to sleep about 1 1/2 hrs....i let DH deal with all the phone calls and clean up....so Rocket, Comet and I slept on our bed....

now at pmps 131....he's been fed Evo mixed with FF and liver dust...he ate it all....

he eats but basically if i'm not here to spoon feed him or bring the food to him he won't go eat...frustrating....

regarding the fortiflora...i saw it at the hospital where we take Comet and where we buy Comet's food....it is oh so very expensive here....but if by the end of the week he is not eating like before then i will have to go buy that....and give it a try....

off to get myself some more meds and will report later....life really sucks...and i hate that saying "when life gives you lemons make lemonade"....i was telling DH the tree is baring no more fruit...it is bone dry! so how can i make lemonade with no lemons!!!!!????????
 
Re: 1/11 Rocket PMPS 131

(((((Claudia))))) I am sorry that everything is going so wrong for you.

The Fortiflora is expensive here, too. It comes to about $1 per envelope, and you have to buy a full box from the vet. My kitties never really liked it much. I only have some expired packages, or else I would send a sample for Rocket to try, before you spend money on a whole box. I wonder if anyone else could send a sample?

Linda,
here they're more expensive cause i've worked it out to be $1.55 per pkg and yes i would have to buy the whole box....

and i hesitate cause if he doesn't like it i can't return the box as i did ask....

if i go crazy here shortly...which i'm pretty sure i will....just remember.....i can't make any more lemonade!...got no lemons left! i will make this my new slogan

at +1 i can't test...tried to feed....he is not hungry...hopefully the pheno will kick in and he'll sleep it off....will report at +2
 
Re: 1/11 Rocket PMPS 131

I'm so sorry about your day! I've been in that phase of "it never ends" and I know how demoralizing that kind of perpetual exasperation can be... especially with no sleep!
I've got a whole box of the Fortiflora that I've used less than half of... If you could PM me your address, I'd be delighted to send you some of mine to try out so that you don't have to commit to buying a box of something that may not work. I can get it in the mail first thing tomorrow morning and I work in a federal building here, so generally stuff gets to its destination quicker than normal!

Hang in there and know that you've got people who've got your back here. Small solace, I know, but it's something! :)

Christie and Willie
 
Re: 1/11 Rocket PMPS 131 +2 61

+2 61...fed...reluctantly he ate it all though...thanks to liver dust....opened a new bag and grated it lots on top of his food as to entice him

maybe Celi can compose a song for me that would say "got no lemons"...etc...something to that sort!
 
Re: 1/11 Rocket PMPS 131 +2 61 +3 70

+3 70
feeding as i type this....put him on his throne where his bowl is....gave lots of liver dust...hope he gets the point he will get more liver dust so long as he goes to his bowl....hoping....but not holding my breath on that

there ought to be a word for "extremely drained lack of sleep bean"

will report later.....sorry for not visiting condos....

BTW...Rocket is not liking that his rug in the bathroom got ruined with the flood as this had been his new spot to sleep and hang out...so i guess this weekend we out to replace that too....this whole thing sucks....added stress as if i don't have enough as is....
 
+4 79...feeding along with liver dust...lots of it

i'm in so much pain

the assessment team will come tomorrow first thing....to see and let us know what the damage is and what we can expect....of course our insurance told DH once they know what the damage is....they will let us know if we need to move out while repairs are done....this is all so surreal....i feel like i'm having an out of body experience....and not a good one...

the few times i managed to fall asleep...i had nightmares....i really want to wake up and think this was a bad bad dream...but knowing my luck...i'm not holding my breath on that

DH is taking tomorrow off to deal with the aftermath of it all....if i were his workplace i would think he is making it all up....starting from when he got sick...but wait...they were there and call the ambulance to take him to the ER when he collapsed...then my mother fell and broke her wrist while they were here in the summer to look after the fur-kids while i dealt with DH (Darren) while he was at the hospital....

i seriously want to wake up from the nightmare...it's not funny whoever is doing this to me....wait...i think it's my meds talking here...so with that said...will report later and i still don't have any more lemons!!!!!!!
 
I feel for you... wishing it was nightmare and wanting to wake up is a horrible feeling. All you can do is take it one moment at a time, and know that a lot of us are praying for you.

i'm trying to stay strong but it is oh so very hard....falling apart at the seams....meds talking...Claudia talking....my inners talking.....it's oh so very surreal.....wonder what's next????????????????????????????
 
man...the hits just keep on coming...

i've got a wonderful supply of supersoft kitty blankets...if you think rocket would like a couple to replace his rug...pm your address, and we'll send those with a rug.
