Yesterday was bounce day.

AMPS = 360

Ming puked right after he ate so I gave him some cerenia (shoved down his throat lol). Then because I wondered if he would eat again, I gave him 2 temptation treats and he ate it. Then went back to eating the rest of his meal (about half left).

I hope he didn't puke out his pred but.. what can we do, eh? :rolleyes:

I'll watch him to see if he pukes again but I have an appointment at the bank (to discuss what little money I have.. :facepalm:) in two hours so hopefully he BEHAVES!

Edit: His stomach is making noises. :nailbiting: Don't puke, Ming!!
 
Crista, weighing in to second Lizzie SEB suggestion ... it and Marshmallow Root are like Magic elixir in my book ... what I use for all things gurgling GI :)
 
@LizzieInTexas @Beth 73 (on mobile so I’m tagging hehe)

No I don’t have those things but thanks for the suggestions! I’ll look into getting some today after my appointment. I was thinking of putting some florastor in his food before I leave the house. He’s sleeping now. I wonder if his BG will be elevated because of the puking and stomach. It’s silent now. I guess we’ll know in half an hour when I test.
 
+4=394

:(

Will check for ketones today. My mom changed his litter box again because she said it stinks and he sat in his pee LOL! But the last time I did a test, it was negative two days ago. I forgot to type that into the SS.
 
Hi Crista ... I get my SEB from local health food store . I can measure out as much or little as I want. You can also purchase it at WalMart in capsules that you open up and use . Elmo gets 1/8 teaspoon 2 x a day ( dissolved in teaspoon of water and syringed). cos he is an old dude and it helps keep his stomach settled from the thyroid meds and slowing kidneys . Lizzie can tell you ab Marshmallow Root as Gizmo stopped liking the SEB. Feel free to ask anything else. Both must be given at least 1 but better 2 hours before or after any other meds as it coats the GI and can interfere with absorption . Hope this helps :bighug:
 
Carnivora, a company in Saskatoon, sells slippery elm for pets. I have seen it in pet food stores that sell raw food, Carnivora also has a raw food line. Ideally the SEB should come from North America, and be organic. I have also seen it in bulk in vitamin stores.
SEB has to be given two hours away from any medicine as it impacts absorption. Ditto for MR.

Any chance you could toss the Temptations and find a freeze dried meat product for treats or flavour enhancer. Temptations are horribly high carb. There are a ton of brands and proteins available around here. I have even seen freeze dried kangaroo, camel, and water buffalo. :woot: Plain ole chicken usually works, unless he has a chicken allergy.

Down Ming.

Yaaa I can definitely do that. I usually just give him freeze dried chicken as a treat but he’s not always interested in it. This was one of the times. So I took out the next (bad) thing :smuggrin::banghead: but oooOoO whoaaaa camel and water buffalo?!!!? I’ve heard of kangaroo but those sure are interesting proteins! I’ll have to look into them next time I go to the raw pet food store.

I wonder if he’s having stomach problems today because yesterday I gave him about 2 oz of raw food as a snack. The frozen kind he used to eat before he was hospitalized. Maybe the sudden raw after eating fancy feast for so long is messing with him. The first time I transitioned him, I started with freeze dried raw exclusively and then would give him a frozen raw meal or snack here and there.

Maybe I’ll do that again and not suddenly introduce it.

That reminds me, I need to update my SS with the meals I’ve been giving. I’ve been slacking. :smuggrin:
 
PMPS = 313

Ooh I’m surprised he went down. I fed him freeze dried raw pork tonight as his meal. He usually eats less when he eats FD raw. I need to figure out the calorie count to make sure he’s eating enough to stave off potential ketones while he’s high.

Will go get SEB tomorrow!
 
I’ve also been doing his injections and he doesn’t have reactions to it. One time he yelped when I stuck the needle in but the other 5 times, he’s been fine. He knows I’m giving him an injection because he just crouches down and let’s me do it.

Maybe he doesn’t like my mom giving it :rolleyes: tomorrow, my mom will give an injection and I’ll watch. Our schedules haven’t aligned this weekend for me to observe her technique.
