Morning

Cooper doesn't want breakfast, of course. Trying to doctor it up to entice him. Otherwise he acts normal, at least! I'm going to get the ondansetron after work today.

Last night's PM cycle was very odd to me. He just stayed in the 140's and I had to get the control fluid out to see if my meter was working lol.

How did his eating go for the rest of the day yesterday?
How much does Cooper weigh?

He seems to have no problem eating in the afternoon. He eats right away with no coaxing!

How much does Cooper weigh?

He weighs about 8 pounds, but I think I will call and ask them because I can't remember precisely.

Good morning Gabrielle,
It's frustrating to see them not eating when they need to be eating!
I hope ondansetron will do the trick!

If he weighs 8lb (3.6kg) the dose would be 1.8 mg. As the tablets are most likely 4 mg each…1/2 tablet up to 3 times a day.

Good morning! I managed to get him to eat a few bites, so that's a little bit of progress at least!

I do believe I remember them being 4mg. Thank you for telling me the dose so I'll be ready to give it tonight.

I hope Cooper eats better for you today. It’s so stressful when they don’t feel well or eat. Hoping the meds will help. Sending you support, Gabrielle

Truly! I feel like I spend a good portion of my day with a spoon in hand, nudging a little bite of food toward Cooper saying, "Please?" LOL!

 

[Gabrielle17]

I obtained the ondansetron! Cooper also actually gained weight, he weighs 9.9 pounds. I still gave him half a pill. He again ate his dinner without issue, but I'm eager to see if it helps him in the morning.

Good to hear that he is eating well with the Ondansetron!
I think you might want to take him up to 3.25U if not 3.5U. His numbers are trending higher and you don't want to be battling high numbers again.

@Bron and Sheba (GA)

I agree. I think I would take him up to 3.5U as a start.

Depending on what time you gave the ondansetron, I would give another dose in the morning, preferably before breakfast if that works out time wise.
