Uh oh...that's a big drop at 2.5. From 158 to 88. He just ate exactly one hour ago. I try not to feed him 2 hours before a test but that didn't work out with our schedule. He had just had a snack and I was late to the +2 test. Hope he has a mellow night...but with that big of a drop I am worried he might keep going. Maybe bounce again for the am (which would not be that bad since I have to go back to work). We will see. Will test him here again in about an hour.

Ozzy says, "you only get one night off mama!":facepalm::facepalm:

Getting him to eat a little more now to try to slow his roll.

Crap- I can't stay up too late tonight. Why can't he pull this in the day time when I am here. I know he knows I love him but I think he wants me to 'prove' it!
 
love seeing all those pictures - Ozzy is so cute!

I think he is in the process of getting used to green numbers and his bouncing is definitely lessening. When a kitty is ready to give up bouncing, some of them will only bounce to 150 or so and might only stay there for an hour or two before getting back to green. Ozzy looks really good.

Did you get the links to the discussions about kitties that vomit even when they don't have long hair? I can't remember if I've told you (I know I've told several people in the past month) about my McGee, who looks a lot like your Figgy. McGee was vomiting daily, in spite of having short hair. He also has a plastic fetish and will eat any thin plastic that he can find.

Anyway, the section below is from the "Where Can I Find?" thread. We started giving McGee Renew Ultimate Colon Care probiotics - worked up to 80,000 cfu daily for about 2 months, then tapered it to 80,000 every other day. It's ended the excessive vomiting - from daily to only when he finds plastic and eats it. I saw you're giving him some probiotics (above) but wasn't sure if you're doing it daily or just when he vomits. I open the capsule and add it to his food. He doesn't seem to even notice it. The last 2 links are the ones I'm referring to.

Digestive Problems:
Constipation, Maggie11 & Ann; Feline Constipation
Hairballs/Chronic Vomiting
Probiotics in IBD (or other) cats
 
by the way, I copied the link of any interesting condos and pasted it into the comments section of punkin's spreadsheet. That way, when I was looking back at something I could go to the condo with all of the explanations and discussion if I needed to. It's been a very helpful thing. Any link on your spreadsheet is live, since it's a google doc, so you can just click it in the comments cell and it will go.
 
Thanks for the info! Will check it out tomorrow when I have more time. Just started the probiotocs last night- only given 3 xs so we will see. Ozzy hates it in his food. Not sure if he is considered a short hair. He's pretty fluffy ans has mutton chops! LOL.

Interesting about your kitty eating plastic. Figgie will lick plastic alot but not eat it. I swear he has pica or something. But I think its his way of saying he is hungry.

Thanks for complimenting Ozzy. We adore him!

Yup. That's a cat, alright.

Your stories and pictures of Ozzy's DKA takes me back to Cinco's. Once he was out of the hospital, he was in a cage in our garage, because he had only just joined our family and wasn't integrated with the other cats. He had such bad urine scald! We washed his back half in baby shampoo every day. The vet thought we should give up on him. He never would have survived it all if it hadn't been from the people here. I don't know if you can see it here, but he still had some fur missing on his back legs. It was healing up nicely.

Poor baby.

My Minka loved to lick plastic, too, especially plastic bags. The vet said it had to do with the oil in the plastic.

So, Ozzy, Mama needs to get some sleep tonight, so let's get up on our surfboard and hang ten, 'k?

Those pics of Cinco are heartbreaking. I can just see the pain and sadness in his eyes in the last one and it is makes me want to cry. You are amazing to take in a stray and help heal him like that. He was so lucky to have you!!

I looked at your pics of Cinco the other night and thought he reminded me of my Ozzy a lot too! I love the little orange tabby boys! They are soo sweet and goofy! They didn't make a zillion cartoons after these types of cats for no reason!!

Here's my dirty little secret: I didn't like orange tabbies. I resisted Cinco as long as I could, but I couldn't let him starve on my doorstep, and then once we found out how sick he was, I couldn't let him die! He wasn't an affectionate cat - he never really learned how to accept lovin', but he wormed his way into our hearts and taught us so much. We really miss him.:(

OMG...me too! I didn't want a tabby cat. I wanted some exotic kitty that had pretty beautiful hair and eyes. My first kitty was a white flamed tip Siamese with gorgeous blue eyes- his name was Bleu. We lost him unfortunately when my room mate left the door open. He was Figgie's littermate and they were bonded from birth. When Bleu went missing, Figgie was so distraught to have lost his best buddy so we got him another kitty. We found a lady who was a vet tech and had some kitties she was trying to adopt. Hubby said let's just go look so we did and Ozzy came up and chose us. I was SMITTEN from the second I met him. He was SOO cute and sweet. I always used to say to Hubby 'there is something so special about this cat' and all these years later he still teases me and says that to me- but it's true. He was meant to be ours!!

So Ozzy is 78 at +3.45. Gave him a big ole' snack so I can go to bed and he can go surfing. I think he is going to be fine. Food is in the autofeeder too in case he needs it.

These have been the best 3 days for Ozzy numbers-wise since he came home from hospital.:cat::cat::cat: And it was over my 3 day weekend so I got to watch/monitor it.

I am so happy!

So far so good on the vomit front, too.

Immediately after I syringed him some anti nausea meds, he tossed it up. But I kind of gave it to him quickly because I was in a hurry to get out the door to do a chore. He ate after (about 15 mins) fine and didn't throw up so I'm not going to count that one. :oops: He tends to vomit more late at night/early morning, so we will see what happens. I have noticed that I am not smelling any more stinky poos. Not sure if they are still soft, but you could smell the poo from the other room and that has stopped so that's an improvement. One day at a time.

The best ones choose us....one of my first "soul-kitties" was a yellow tabby. I went to the shelter to see what they had and went from cage to cage picking up all the kittens and seeing how they acted....One reached out with a gentle paw and batted me on the nose...SOLD!!!

Next time I went looking for a cat, one cat out of the bunch did the same thing......guess who came home??

Last time I went to a shelter looking for a cat was when I got China as a kitten....and yes....she got the nose too!!.....and she's never batted at it since!! She read my mind, knew what she had to do and did it!!

Love this!!! :cat::cat::cat::kiss::kiss:
 
+4.5=102

I might have overcarbed him with that last big meal. It was still LC but he ate about 1.5 oz. He's up to 102 now and in the blues. That means bed-y-bye for me. Ya. I'm gonna be so tired tomorrow.

I have a feeling he might bounce up in the am. We will see.
