vet vist yesterday: awaiting BW - Murphy gained 1/2 lb since last visit!!! He is scheduled for a dental the first week of February
Congestion: I'm continuing doxy - it does seem to be helping - I'm stopping zyrtec for the time being and just using apoquel. Hopefully he is not allergic to dust - if he is, he will have a hard time living with me. They will look for a polyp during the dental @Amy&TrixieCat - vet did say bad dental problems can see congestion - don't think Murphy's teeth are that bad, but we'll see
Tuesday night, he went to the lagoon, but was dropping fast - I didn't include all the numbers on the SS, but he did drop from 92 to 62 in 20 minutes and I knew that was trouble. I gave him some gravy from a Wellness packet, and a few droppers full of sugar water, and just the tiniest dab of honey on his gums. He vomited up everything, just as he has done the last 4 times his BG has dropped low. He vomited everything I tried to give him - Finally I filled two gelcaps with sugar and pilled him - he kept that down, with the help of ondansteron. It is so harrowing to have a vomiting cat who is dropping. I talked to the vet about it and she said that severe nausea can definitely result from low BG, even quickly dropping BG. Anyway, he probably needs to be increased, but I am leery now because I am afraid when I have to bring him up.
Bad few days - just got called - have to have another mammogram and additional tests next week - ugh -
of course I am thinking the worse and worrying
