@carfurby @Wendy&Neko @MrWorfMen's Mom Elmo just spit up the 1 t food I slowly gave him. Giving aloe/water as that is staying down. Any suggestions as to how to steer when he is doing this ?Ate well overnight ....spitting up began as numbers started falling

Thanks, JJI wish I knew something to help you. I am sending supportive vines.
Slowly giving little amounts of aloe/water as he is keeping that down . I’m thrilled to see numbers going down after yesterday but hoping they will slow down .

You could try adding a minuscule drop of honey/karo to the water and hope it does not upset the great loveable beast. But if it were me, I'd leave be. Upset tummy trumps steering if you are steering only to prevent the bounce. If the great loveable beast's numbers were low, that would be a different story.

“Great lovable beast “
You are the best , Kel Have gone to my homeopathic remedy protocol where I give 2cc every 15 minutes and he is keeping that down. You are absolutely correct, upset tummy trumps a bounce . Those are words I needed to hear

Homeopathic remedy is helping and like Kel said, at this point tummy upset trumps a bounce . Hugs to you and Leo

@Red & Rover (GA) .....Kel, that honey in water is a good bit of wisdom ....going to write that down on my List for future reference

I agree, tummy trumps numbers. No worries about lows at this point so take that opportunity to settle the tummy.

I hope you can get Elmo to eat. If he's not eating at all, or only eating a little, maybe you an give a reduced dose of 0.25 units.

PMPS..563......think we will go with a skinny .50 @carfurby.......maybe just a pinch more than .25.....what you think of that , Carla ? He still is barely eating....will slowly eat baby food but that’s not carbs....he had a FS last night and was at 400s this AM which sadly thrilled me ...no black or HI....thankful for those blessings

He's so high he should be okay. I hope he eats more for you. Sending prayers.

He should be okay with being so high.
Is he not eating because he's nauseous?

Do you have any drugs in the arsenal for nausea?I think so , Kel
Beth 73
Member Since 2016
Kel, I use SEB , aloe juice/water and homeopathic remedy Nux vomica and Phosphorus... if these don't get results by tomorrow I'll call vet....what would you recommend?

I've have not had to use anti-nausea drugs for years and do not want to quote something that I have not had experience with. I'm sure others will respond. Who can refuse Elmo? and your gorgeous self, of course.

Please get better Elmo, I'm sorry I don't have any help to offer. It sounds like you are doing everything right. Tons of healing vines for your boy, Beth.

Thank you , Jan
I don't normally use drugs for nausea but may have to call vet tomorrow . He has slowly improved but not yet his old self . A good nights rest will do us both good... this has been a long ole day

I sure hope you both rest well - it mad me sad to hear Elmo is under the weather. Kisses on Elmo and sweet dreams to you.

@Beth 73 I'm hoping Elmo feels better in the am. Hopefully it's just a one day thing with his tummy. I give Tyler's brother Perry Cerenia because he has kidney disease and many months ago he was nauseas and throwing up all day after eating.
My vet said this happens a lot with kitty's who have kidney disease
Since being on it he hasn't thrown up since. Hoping Elmo doesn't have to take any more meds than he already does

Thanks, Diane
I believe that's what I've read others use too. Hoping that a SQ and a good nights rest will set him on road to recovery 
Sorry for the late reply. Race weekend in Victoria for me, just got home.
Your SS doesn’t say what you shot tonight, but you could have gone full dose with him riding so high and just after a fur shot last night. He might also be feeling crumby cause he isn’t used to high numbers lately. Even kitties undergoing anesthesia who cannot eat, get half dose typically per vet.
When a kitty is feeling off, I agree steering isn’t front of mind. And their numbers will usually be higher anyway. Sugar water is also an alternate for carbs.
