And I'm back! I hope everyone here is doing well, and that your kitties are surfing safely!
My little vacation was lovely and restorative, and Gen did fine while I was away! The catsitter was very diligent and sent me photos and reports; also, the two Blink cameras I set up right before I left were very helpful for calming my anxiety. I was proud of myself when I stopped obsessively checking them and the Libre app (far more often than was necessary).
I brought his dose back up to 1.25u yesterday, as he was very high the whole time I was gone (and anyway, his drop last week was definitely due to out-of-character (lack of) food intake, not dosage). I also decided to try skipping the crushed kibble today! We may be switching to TR imminently (like, tonight/tomorrow), though I need to go over the guidelines again. He also had some difficulty pooping this morning, although thankfully, he wiped his butt on the floor and not my bed (easier to clean). He was on Miralax while I was away, and I switched back to the 1/16 tsp of powdered psyllium husk last night ... I may try upping that to 1/8 tsp tonight, as tomorrow I'll be working from home and can keep an eye out to see if it affects his eating.
I think he had some opinions about my (brief!) absence.

So hard to not obsessively check all the things!
