Higher AMPS today after breaking the bounce yesterday evening around +8-9. Bouncing from even that at this point?
The Mirataz must've worked exceptionally well yesterday because every meal was a clean bowl.
He loves and goes nuts for the PureBites. I haven't even tried them as a topper yet, just gave him a few pieces to see if he'd like them. Last night I gave him 1/4 capsule of the S. Boulardii, which he ate in an oz of his preferred food with no topper (which may have just been because of the Mirataz). Dividing the contents was a much bigger pain than I anticipated. 
(Any trick to that? I just sort of used a paper to get it in a line and eyeballed the split.) I don't want to speak too soon, and anti-jinx x100 but he's had one poop since then that at least seemed slightly less soft. Some formation, some still very soft. Possible progress already? Not sure if we'd see it that quickly.
I actually gave him both the Proviable Forte and another 1/4 capsule of S. Boulardii this morning in his PS meal and he also cleaned that bowl! Which, again, may be because he was asking for food level hungry. I'll take what I can get. Update, ~2½ hours later: both times I've given it to him so far it seemed like it gave him a tummy ache, just based on behavior. This time I gave both at once. Is a stomach ache common after S. Boulardii? I know if it worsens the poop you should stop, but I didn't see anything about how it might make him feel. And should I not give them together?
The Mirataz really seems to irritate his ears, which is unfortunate. I use an unscented cat wipe every night to very gently wipe them out but the crust really sticks in there. His poor ears are always hot and he doesn't want me near them. I do alternate ears now that I can (couldn't when I was doing more than 1 transdermal med). Last night I tried putting a tiny film of vaseline on the "off" ear to see if that might help soothe it and be less drying between doses.
Hope everyone has a great Thursday! It's a gloomy, rainy one here in the Bay Area so it's gonna be another puzzle and cuddle day for Xander and I.
