1/28 Sooty - new Condo and new #s AMPS 161 !!

[Perry and Sooty]

Here's the link to the last several day's mega-condo...

And it is all very good news this morning..!!
Sooty's temp. this AM was 100.2 (NORMAL, still!) and the biggest shocker of all, his AMPS: 161! (I couldn't believe it, so I tested him again and verified it)
He had eaten already so we tested him several more times after this, to decide what (if anything) to shoot. And he was rising each time, for the next hour, so he got a reduced dose this morning (as with Acros you have a huge shed, just sitting there). He could yet still drop more through the day, so we have to be very cautious, esp. with IV fluids still being given...

...but all in all this, is just amazing...!!!

Sooty's back at the vet this morning (I just got home from taking him in) but today, they have our Home meter - and are going to get me regular BG tests using that, so we know where we are...!

His P-titis meds and ABx are continuing today but the P-titis meds are being reviewed today, it may be time to start weaning him off those. Not sure - we await advice from the vet on this.

I really have to go (to tbp) now - but I will update you, soon as there's any more news today...!

Once again THANK YOU ALL so very, very, much for helping Sooty (all of us!) get through this. If a trouble shared is a trouble halved, then ours must have become a 1,000th !!

TTYL - have a great Friday,

What incredibly wonderful news! I love that Sooty's temp has been holding and the fever's broken (paws crossed). And a blue. A BLUE!!

It does make me wonder if this infection had been brewing and was low grade for a while.

[Barbara and tuffy]

What fantastic news. So glad everything is resolving.

 

[Perry and Sooty]

Sooty's continuing with a quite remarkable recovery, today, his temp is still normal (last one was 101.9), his BG is now in the 250s (and that's just fine).

The Vet says she will be pulling the catheter this evening and he'll be coming home tonight - with just a 'regular appointment' needed for tomorrow...!

She was telling me earlier how everyone there has gotten caught up in Sooty's situation, they've all been rooting for him and they're all amazed and relieved at the turnaround - what a little fighter he's been and what an astonishing improvement he's shown in the last couple of days. They aren't the only ones - but we are just so relieved that he's made it through this far - and looking forward to having him home.

I'll catch up with you again a bit later!

 

[Georgia and Simon (GA)]

What incredibly good news! I'm sure Sooty is going to be so happy tonight without his catheter. I am so glad things are turning out so well for y'all.

 

[Judith and Thomas]

So great to hear such wonderful, wonderful news!! A true fighter!!! SOOO glad he has come around and is doing so well!!!

 

[Marje and Gracie]

What fantastic news for Sooty! We're so happy he had a good night and can come home for good tonight sans the catheter!! Keep it up handsome boy!!!

 

[Christie & Willie (GA)]

Perry, that news is just the greatest! I am so excited that Sooty gets to ditch the catheter and come home!!! I know you must be on cloud nine! Continued well wishes and prayers for an action plan to get Sooty fully on the road to recovery!

 

[Nina and KB]

I'm so happy with his progress, just keeps getting better and better. And what a nice BG this morning - maybe that mysterious infection has been keeping his numbers higher.

 

[Dyana]

I am just so happy with this news. I am just smiling big and my heart is warmer feeling. Keep on getting better, Sooty!
