Yesterday was a bounce day, and today it continues. ohmygod_smile

1/30 Recap:
AMPS 355 +9 208
PMPS 161 +3 278

For some reason, Neko likes wearing her pink tutu to curling practice these days. While it does mean I'm saving on strips these days, it's also hurting my head.

Where is my little girl that caused me to coin the term bouncette? :YMSIGH: Is January over yet? :roll: :lol:

Neko does seem to be showing some signs of improvement with the Cartrophen shots. As DH said, she doesn't seem quite as stiff as a month ago. She is using the bathtub LB more often, and just this morning she disappeared downstairs before test time to use the LB there instead of the more convenient one upstairs. And she came hopping back up the stairs at a fairly good clip. But she's not running like the civie (who is 3 years younger) and still not hopping on the kitchen stool that gives her access to the counter. Although I'd rather she not go on the counter, I'd like her to feel like she could. So, after a late discussion with the vetty last night (she called at 8:45 :o ), I'm going to pick up a 3 day trial of bupe to see if a low dose will help Neko feel better. Vetty is off now until Monday, so hence the few days of trial. In the back of my mind, I've always worried if Neko is feeling some pain due to the acromegaly.

Neko is currently ignorant of my angst, lying in her bed in the solarium enjoying the sunshine. As much as she professes she doesn't like Theo, it's funny how often they copy each other. He was out there first, so she went out and now they are both grooming in the sun at the same time. :cool:

Can not tell you how much that made me tickle :lol:
If only we could be as laid back as they are...
I'm happy to hear that the Cartrophen shots seem to be helping. I think you and Neko are going to like the Bupe. I really hope that helps out as well.
Where on earth did the smiley banging his head on the brick wall come from? That is how I feel today, heck that's how I've felt for the past week or so. Come on down from the bouncy now Neko, you've been up there long enough sweetie!
Have a great weekend Wendy and thank you for visiting me :smile:
 
Re: 1/31 Neko AMPS 331

I need that smiley today too! I've tried searching but can't seem to find good ones!

Anyhow, I'm glad that Neko is happily sunning herself oblivious to any bean problems or upset. I'm sorry she is hanging out in pink... :cry: I'm so happy to hear the Cartrophen seems to be kicking in! Like you, I want to see more obvious signs (like leaping and bounding :lol: ), but moving/getting up easier is good :-D :-D .

Hopefully the Bupe trial will tell you if she needs pain management or not. Hard to know with these pain tolerant kitties who don't tell their beans everything! :YMSIGH:

Thanks for your input on our condo, Wendy. I'll read that article this weekend or tonight. Happy Friday! :razz:
 
Re: 1/31 Neko AMPS 331

I hope Neko gets tired of the pink floor soon. Good luck with the bupe trial. I wish it was easier to tell if our kitties are in pain so we could help them.
 
Re: 1/31 Neko AMPS 331

Hi, Wendy, I hope the bupe trial helps out even more. I hope your Neko came down some today.
I hope you're having a good Friday :-D
 
Re: 1/31 Neko AMPS 331

An all pink day. ohmygod_smile Neko had a great time in the sunshine for most of the day. It's now PM+3 and I've just given bupe. Interestingly, that was not as easy as I thought it would be. Civie Theo was way easier when I had to do him. Gonna have to work on our technique.

Sorry to be late catching up. DH was in charge tonight and I took off to the slopes and joined a women's night of skate skiing lessons. It was beautiful up there.

@Lauren - You saw the instructions for the smiley in your condo. That hitting the head smiley is one of my favorites. :lol: I hope the bupe helps out too.

@Rachel - Our girls in pink sure make us want to use that smiley. It's so appropriate here. I want my kitten back too, but I guess she's allowed to be a bit slower at age 13.

@Carla - Made it off the pink floor, but just barely. :roll: That's the thing that's bothered me the most about acromegaly, not knowing if she's in pain.

@Josie - Good to see you here. My Friday was good, Neko might be easing off the bounce, or not. :lol:

@Linda - That would be so cute to see Neko dancing. I'll settle for a bit more movement and lower numbers.
 
Re: 1/31 Neko PMPS 297

Did the experiment work? I can't tell from her SS.

I hope you can get the bupe and it will help her. It's good that she has shown some improvement :-D
 
Hi Wendy,

thanks for your help last night. I am glad that Neko is moving around more and she sounds content in the sunshine. I bet the next cycle will be more to your liking. It seems like we are doing detective work with these kitties. Hopefully the bupe is easier to administer next time.

Skate skiing lessons? I never heard of that.
