Happy Lupita Friday....well, for some of us ;) Sending out tons of vines to all in need. We especially hope Amy's Dad and Elise's Mom are doing better.

Gracie was cuddled into the sherpa when Lupita came in today....after all, it is pouring down rain and our little Canadian girl had already been out on the catio feeling the mist on her face and was now ready for warm. Lupita walked into the kitchen and simply asked "where's the baby?". When you stand in the kitchen, you can see into our bedroom and I looked at Gracie who was looking at Lupita and across the pretty far distance, she replied with hisssssssssssssssssss. That's the way to start Lupita Friday, baby girl!! She and Tobey were hilarious last night; Tobey was behind the door of our bedroom and Gracie was peaking at him through the crack; his little while paw could come out and she'd slap it. He decided to come out from behind the door and he bolted out.....she was on him in a heartbeat and actually tackled him :joyful::joyful::joyful::joyful:

Her numbers have been so wonky lately. She had about 36 hours of pretty nice numbers including a lovely nadir at 60 but then started bouncing and she's just not
settling back down. I'm beginning to wonder if there is a tooth issue; dental scheduled for Feb 11. We're taking her dose up tonight.

The food issues continue. Because she's barfed every raw, except Primal venison, exactly 1.5 hours after I give it to her, we thought we'd try freeze dried raw, Feline Natural. It is rehydrated with warm water so we thought if it was perhaps the cold temp causing the vomiting, this would address that issue. Nope. she loved the food but 1.5 hours later...almost to the minute....she barfed it. I guess I'm just going to give up on raw and keep looking for canned that does not have gums in it (the Wild Calling does not have carrageenan so that's one step up).

Sorry we've been MIA. Mike is on vacation and we've been busy catching up on stuff we need to do together. I'm working today but should be back in tonight to catch up. Have a super day.
 
Good luck with the dosecrease. I hope the dental will help her numbers get back to nice numbers. LOL on the big hiss when she saw Lupita.
 
I love that Lupita still loves her even with all the hissing, but then who could resist her charms ;) sounds like Gracie has caught the football fever with that tackle on Tobey LOL good luck with the dose crease
 
Awwww Sweet Gracie---showin' Lupita Love!! :rolleyes::rolleyes: Good luck with the dosecrease, and with finding a food suitable for her and thank you for publishing your results, it helps us all out so much to see what works and what is safe.
 
Gracie, Gracie, Gracie! Such a little "nasty" love bug. Hissing at Lupita, who loves you probably because of your hissyness; tackling the Tobes, who loves you no matter what. See, no matter how "Gracie" you are, everyone loves you.

Sure hope you get some answers for the wonky numbers. Teeth. Sorta hope maybe. Sorta hope maybe not. Conundrum.

And like Ruth, I too appreciate your information on food...and everything else.

Is Gracie allergic to fish? Nulo is grain, gluten and carragenan free, but it does have a little tuna. I get it at Petsmart they also have it at the boutique shops w/ a slightly different labes. Have to be exclusive you know!;)

Do you have the numbers on the Honest Kitchen and the Feline Natural? I got the nutrient profile from HK, but the numbers don't add up properly.

I'd be interested in those numbers also. Thanks again, Marje, for your info on the M . . . Clay (i have a mental block on that name!!). I'm taking the Instinct back to the store.

Good hissing, Gracie! Don't let Lupita think she can enter the royal presence with so little reverence. Make her curtsy next time!
 
Hey Carla, Serryn, Marilyn, Elise, Ruth, Ann, Ella, and Mikey.

As it turned out, we did have to give the dose increase tonight so paws crossed we will see some better numbers soon.

@Ann & Tess : she can't have any fish at all so Nulo is out. Dr. Lisa has HK Grace and Prowl on her sheet. Grace (turkey) is about 10% and Prowl is al out 20%. I tried the Grace and Gracie loved it and didn't barf but it raised her BG by about 30 mg/dL and also, because it was so calorie dense, she didn't get much and left her hungry. I have the numbers on Feline Natural; it's essentially 0 carb and I'll have to get your the P. Seems it wasn't sky high but also wasn't particularly low.
 
Hi Marje and Gracie! Happy Lupita Friday :) I'm glad Gracie is feeling good and enjoying the rain. Sorry to hear about the trouble with her raw food! I wish it wasn't so hard to find food that is kitty approved and meets all the criteria. Billie was eating Wild Calling before Instinct, but she lost interest in it. I kept thinking it was just a certain batch that she didn't like and ended up buying and returning like 4 cases at the pet store...they already thought I was a little nuts, and that definitely sealed the deal! Oh well. Good luck finding something that works for Gracie! I'll be curious to see what you come up with.
 
Ahhh, love me some Lupita Friday!! I never tire of hearing about Lupita's efforts to win Her Grace's favor, and the Principessa's rejection of her suit!

Good luck with the dosecrease, and finding the right fuds. My crowd didn't care much for the Wild Callings. Of course, they are all about whatever food is the worst for them! :rolleyes:

Don't apologize for taking time away from the Board to have a life! I'm glad Mike has some time off and you can spend it with him. We miss hearing from you, but you deserve a break every now and then!
