11/6 - Pookey - 1 year FD anniversary

[Tim & Pookey]

Hi all,

9/16 - Pookey - some pics

Our 1 year FD anniversary is tomorrow!

So proud of the little man and thankful we found this forum. I remember how panicked I was coming home from the vet that day. They showed me how to give injections on a stuffed animal, gave me an AlphaTrak and some high-carb dry food, and basically said good luck. Here’s our first post on the forum, it’s fun to go back and read and see how far we’ve come. Thanks for all your help that day @Diane Tyler's Mom GA @tiffmaxee @Bron and Sheba (GA).

Fast forward to the current day, things are good here. I’m feeding almost all Weruva now and I think he’s feeling a bit better. He’s not overgrooming really at all anymore and not grinding his teeth like how he was. Maybe the phosphorus or the beef protein was the issue.

We have a home vet visit tomorrow for new bloodwork. Always an anxious time.

Have a great weekend!

- Tim

What a cutie! So glad you were here when we started this journey a month later -I would have sworn you had years under your belt! Feels like forever ago. That initial panic is something you never forget.

Good luck tomorrow

I love that picture of Pookey, he's looking very comfortable. Congrats on the one year annifursary. Reading our old posts can be umm, humbling? You've come such a long way.

The teeth grinding might have been nausea, good call to eliminate the beef. I hope he sails through the blood work and exam tomorrow.

Thanks Wendy. Yes, humbling, embarrassing? About how nervous I was to ditch dry food lol.

We haven’t had to deal with nausea yet so I wasn’t sure. He would sniff and turn away snacks, smack his lips after eating and teeth grinding sound.

Classic nausea symptoms.

I think we all have embarrassing stories about the beginning of our FD journey.

Thank you Kat! Will do! Hoping it goes ok. He’s always stressed when they come, but better than a car ride!

Well done Tim and Pookey!

Interesting where life leads us. Like, on November 6, 2024, you had no idea what was in store. Talk about falling down a rabbit home and entering a totally alien universe, learning an entirely new “language,” doing things to Pookey you never knew possible, meeting a bunch of great people (and being “assimilated,” lol), cranking out an emergency backup website…yep, Pookey’s diagnosis was the start of a journey you never expected but which has likely profoundly altered your life.

Happy 1 year anniversary to you and Pookey.

Thanks JL. You’re right, you really have no idea. Turns out the timing was pretty good…
