Rocket & his Mom

Member Since 2010
Morning LL family,
Continued prayers for Celia and keeping BigMac in our thoughts....and any other kitty that needs healing vines...

Rocket had a good week...all things considered....i have to keep telling myself that he has multiple illnesses/issues so having a good day or hour means the world to me....

We had been on the 2.75u for a few days
DH wanted to go out for pizza last night but some gut feeling told me it was best to order in and stay put....and it was a good thing we did....
the events unfolded like this for the day
AMPS 272 (why worry...with the pred he has never dove on me like he used to)

PMPS 189 (nice blue and he is eating ...no need to worry)

+3=72 (ok i can handle this...give a little snack and he will be ok and sleep off the pred which was on board at this point now for 1 hr ....still no need to worry)

+4=58 (ok i can still handle this though he is starting to look too alert and not sleeping off the meds very little snack that was licked a couple times then he turned his nose on it...no prob i can still handle this)

+4.5=41 (no interest in food and my red alert is in full force...got karo out and rubbed it in his gums...he was starting to look funny...i'm trying to stay calm)

20 mins later (from here on i only know i'm testing every 20 mins)=

41/47/39

(still no interest in food and more karo and then 1 temptation....had the bag handy though i knew the carb would take a while to kick in and it was more meant for later as he was NOT interested in food nor gravy or anything...panic in full force)

+6=49 (dusted a temptation on top of the gravy and he finally licked it off...we are still not out of the woods just yet)

15 mins later back to 46 (he was surfing in the wrong block of numbers and he was walking funny and barely made it to go pee...panic still in full force)

+6.5=56 (getting out of the danger zone but still not happy with those numbers...he does much better in the 70s and 80s )

+7=61, +7.5=83!!!! it is now safe to go to bed....and his bupe was given late as well....

my concern was him having a gran mal seizure as the last time he went in the 50s he had a petit mal.....

today he looks tired....we are back to 2.5u and so far he is in good range all things considered....it was a rough experience and looking back i think i must have had an outter body experience....so surreal....he has not done this since starting on the pred....so i was shocked he was diving even with the pred on board...

his ears are bruised from all the poking...i'm tired and he is as well....

off to buy more food with gravy as we ran out....from having it on the shelf there are quite a few that have long expired and i do not wanna give him something that has expired....

moral of the story....don't go for pizza :lol: it wasn't so funny last night though

hope everyone is having a good day!

HOLY COW, CLAUDIA!!!

what a night you had...
and awesome "know thy cat" skills!!!

you and rocket are always in my heart and thoughts...
 
Wow, that was quite a fight to keep him up! Great work. Those nights are scary, hopefully you can sneak in a nap today.
 
Claudia, you must have been pretty scared since he has had a seizure before when he went in the 50's. You and Rocket have such a bond that you must have sensed something that told you not to go out. Moral: pizza is always better eating it while sitting on your couch watching a movie.

Sending lots of prayers and hugs today and hope tonight is a very uneventful evening. Glad you dropped Rocket's dose and also happy to hear he had a pretty good week.

(((Claudia)))....wow....he hasn't done that to you in a long time but look what a great job you did!!!

Congrats on the reduction ROCKET!!!!
 
PMPS 232

he has been around but slept all day....eating only when i bring the food to him....wonder if something is brewing or if it's the remnants of last night.....regardless i will watch him like a hawk like i always do....
 
And all this began with pizza! Claudia, you did so well to catch the drops and prevent Rocket from harm. Kudos! We hope and pray that you will have a restful evening and a good night. Both of you could use one (your DH, too, I'm sure!).

Lots and lots of :YMHUG: :YMHUG: :YMHUG: :YMHUG: s

Ella & Rusty

p.s. Take-out pizza is really improved by heating the slices in a heavy skillet in a little olive oil. (I actually prefer it that way!)
 
thank you all for visiting us today....

+2 153
+3 124

he was restless until about half hr ago he went to the spare room to sleep...i'm letting him be but i'm still keeping a close eye as always....he is my baby after all!
