10/27 Noogi - AMPS 270, +3 205, +7 121, PMPS 196, +3 209

Yesterday

The good news is Noogi continues to show improvement. He is moving around quite well and does not appear to be in pain anymore, even without painkillers. The vet thinks he likely hurt his back by accident rather than a rapid deterioration with the arthritis. So for now we are continuing with the anti-inflammatory and will treat for pain if/when it recurs. He gave me some meds to keep handy in case of another episode of acute pain.

The not so good news is his numbers have been a bit all over the place today. He had a vet visit so that could account for some of it. His eating has been okay, could be better. I'm aware pain can cause higher BG, so will monitor closely for the next couple days.

Glad he's feeling better and that the vet doesn't think it's the arthritis. Once he gets settled back down, I bet his numbers will improve. They are still not too bad, though I know you're used to seeing more greens in the mix.

Oh Helen that's good news considering everything. I hope he keeps getting better every day. We're thinking of you and Noogi

Hoping once he's feeling better his numbers will improve! So glad they don't think it's anything major!
Feel better, Noogi!

Thank you Mary, Karolina and Staci
Yes, I'm hoping his numbers improve in the next day or two.
I do think we are likely to be dealing with and treating pain from arthritis again going forward though - the arthritis will probably continue to worsen over time, and its possible he will have more episodes like this. My little old man - he has aged so much in the last couple months. I'm acutely aware my time left with him is limited, and I'll do everything I can to keep him comfy.
