545 PMPS

598 +9.75
J.D. had another nice poo. Lets see what else. I am happy that his potassium is back within range and his Spec fPL is coming down, and so is his BUN and creatinine and phophorus. Still working on his RBC and HCT and Magnesium, and eating on his own.
Yesterday, I tried to write that I had talked to the Nutritionist Vet and the Internal Medicine Vet, but I guess I timed out and lost all the information. The Nutritionist Vet originally had her assistant call me and tell me that J.D. should not be free fed, but get his all his calories at AMPS and PMPS because he is diabetic. I told her that this did not make sense to me as it's at 12:00pm and 12:00am (or his nadirs) or earlier when he is diving that he needs to eat more and not at AMPS and PMPS when he is HI that he needs to eat. She said we were not on the same page and would have the Nutritionist Vet call me back, which she did. Dr. M called me that evening and agreed that every cat is different and that J.D. should be free fed, and that I could try giving him 80% of his syringes on a day when I am home to monitor him to see if he would eat more on his own. I had questioned and complained or wanted explanation on how when I feed him all his calories for the day between 6:00am 7:30am and then again between 6:00pm and 8:00pm that he is not hungry for hours then and doesn't eat while he's diving.
The Internal Medicine Vet Dr. B called a bit later and said not to worry about the Magnesium (just like the other Internal Medicine Vet Dr. Z said), and to watch the HCT and if he goes lower that we can try an Iron shot that would be good for 3 weeks, I think she said.
I think I remember J.D. crawling all over me in the middle of the night. I can't be sure. I was so tired. I got up at 4:00am to try to get started on a project that my boss wanted done by today, but today says I can have done by Monday :-|
Tomorrow, I sleep all day. And try to give J.D. less food, I guess. Wish us luck. We need it.
