Ah yes, late again. Can't really say there's much worth waiting for here. Nice blue surf today, perfect for when Mamabean has to be gone (even tho Daddybean was here and did get the +4). Good appy, lazy day. Nothing to complain about.
I decided not to take Minka to have her thyroid levels checked because I discovered I'd forgotten to give her her pill last night!
ohmygod_smile That is the second time in a week - and I've never forgotten before! The problem is that I changed the time I was giving the med, because I had been doing it more on a 14-10 schedule instead of a 12-12. I figured 12-12 was better, so I was trying to get that set up. I guess I'll go back to the old way - at least she always got her pill! :roll: Anyway, she hasn't been doing the things that had me a little concerned the past few days, so maybe I was being a worrywart for nothing.
Harvey, however, did get to take the nice, long, noisy ride to the vet (he complained all the way there, as usual). He continued to be his dear, uncooperative self by bleeding really, really slowly! His favorite tech, Jean, said it took forever to fill the vial - drip, drip, drip! She had to stick him a couple of times, hoping to get a better flow. They only tested his BUN and Creatinine, as that was what was elevated previously. The vet just called to say both were slightly above normal, and she wants to recheck in a month to see if they keep going up, or if they're just fluctuating a little. They are still considerably lower than they were last January when we decided to switch to low Phosphorus food. She said that even that small amount of elevation in those levels could be causing his clear liquid barf, and to keep giving him pepcid when it happens. She also wants me to be even more diligent about making sure he gets enough water (he does drink a fair amount, and I add some to his food at every meal). She said if his numbers go as high as they were before again, we might have to start giving him sub-qs! :shock: I am praying really hard that this does not happen, as trying to give my little shark (the perpetual motion machine) fluids would be a major nightmare!
Sasha ate about 1/3 of her breakfast this morning, and I left the rest nearby. The plate was empty when Harvey and I got home, and no one else would have eaten it, as I had buried it in Forti Flora.
I spoke to the vet about her lack of appetite, and she recommended I ask the oncologist for an appetite stimulant. She didn't want to prescribe one herself, as she didn't know if there were issues to consider with the chemo. She said it is perfectly fine if she just eats baby food, and that possibly the higher fat in the cat food is bothering her just now. I felt much better after talking to her, but if this continues I will ask Dr. S about a stimulant. Sasha came downstairs after I got home and indicated she was hungry, so I gave her about 1/3 of a jar of baby food. She hopped away happy.
Sending healing vines to all in need, and hugs to all their beans. :YMHUG: Extra prayers for Amy's DF, Lyresa's DF, Elise's DM and Wendy's DM. Anne, Liz and Tillie are still in our thoughts and prayers, too. Many hugs to them. :YMHUG: :YMHUG: :YMHUG:
