WCR: All is good in BlackieLand (thank goodness). Again, she'd rather not eat alone, and wait for me to get back to the office to finish her breffis. I had a situation with the danged syringes this morning. Drew what I thought was the perfect amount, but ended up drawing not enough as there was a huge bubble in it. Aborted that one. Tried the second syringe... Only drew air. Huh? Ok. Tried the third one... Finally! I hate doing that on any given day. So, her dose ended up to be about 5 minutes late. The main thing is she got her dose this morning.
Reduction Question: Since she IS a long term diabetic, and I know that the protocol states for LT diabetics to have majority of the #s in a good range for 7 days, does she warrant having a reduction anytime soon, and if so, when?
Thank you, either way.
On the Bubba front... No go with the Purina Pro Plan (I didn't even bother to try it as I knew he'd walk away); no go on the Evo 95% C&T that I feed Blackie, and I didn't even bother with the Friskies Special Diet Turkey & Giblet flavor. Thankfully, I still had a couple of cans of Fancy Feast from when before Shadow passed, so I opened up one, divided it into 6ths, and gave him 1/6 of it. He ate it all! Given his current situation, and the blood in the urine (it's mainly on the pink side, but it's still there), I needed to get him to eat SOMEthing. I tried coaxing him down for the +1 feeding, but no go. So, I'll try later and see if he's interested. He's still drinking water, which is a good thing. I really don't know what to do at this point.

MY WISH: For God to help heal the broken hearts of those who lost a beloved pet and/or human... For God to help those ailing make a full and speedy recovery... For everyone to have great #s... For everyone to be OTJ.
