Today looks like a "climb the steps up to the diving platform" for swan dives in later cycles. Maybe I can get some things done today. His appetite remains good. Got most of the Epakitin-laced pumpkin into him. That is not a solution, however. I am considering the Niacinimide and/or the aluminum based binder. How does one get all the binder in the cat when he may be eating multiple times per day and not just once every 12 hours like the directions say to give. Logic tells me the binder has to be consumed with the food but when I am feeding to steer the curve or the drop I can't be worried about getting binders in the food when I am worried about keeping him from going hypo. Especially considering he is still very suspicious of this grainy matter in his pumpkin now.

Have decided that washing the ear flap that received the Ondansetron transdermal cream the day before is best for clearing off the product so I can now use that ear for testing while the transdermal is applied to the opposite ear. Left ear flap is for testing on odd days while right ear is for testing on even days which means that on odd days the right ear gets creamed and on even days the left ear gets creamed. Hope I wrote that correctly. :confused:

My eyes crossed just trying to read this! :p
 
We really need another orifice for inserting meds, etc. that don't involve the mouth, ears or rectum. Just a little flap to open, dump in meds, and close. No fuss. No fuming. No mess.:joyful:
 
Feeling very discouraged. Bama did not want to leave his bed for testing and his pmps meal. Would eat if I put the bowl under his nose. Did finally get up when I brought out the Squeeze-up. We had our usual war in getting the Ondansetron down him and some of the pumpkin with the binder in it. Maybe he knew what was ahead and that's why he didn't want to get out of bed. We done 100mls sub-q. Not much else to do for the evening besides getting a +3 before calling it a night. If this is anything like a couple nights ago, his bounce will be breaking and we'll be in double digits by morning. Sleep while I can.

Yes. The binder needs to be given with food … every time they eat. That’s how it works. Now the Niacinamide works differently. I would try that and perhaps in combination with other binders that are given at every meal.

Oh, I am sorry. I understand that feeling of discouragement. There are likely to be a lot of ups and downs. Tomorrow, I hope will be an up day! Hugs!

This may be an oddball tip - but when nursing babies I use a ponytail on the wrist to remember which side to use next. So after they finish, I move it to the other side. Not sure if something like that helps!

I always tried to alternate Mr Kitty's ears as well during the day if I was testing a lot. He always sat in the same spot for tests, so I would put the meter on the side to test next

I'm sorry I haven't been following him very closely for the past week, but are there any foods he really likes? That's how I give meds. Usually crush the ondansetron with mortar and pestle and mix in.

Or if he's being particularly difficult he gets a meds/water slurry. I'm sure it tastes terrible but it's quickest and least painful for all involved. Can binder be put in a small amount of water that you give right before he eats?

I really don't know if that will work or what, if anything, will work. He got up to be tested and to eat @ +3 but threw up less than half an hour later. It's about +5.5 now. Trying again with the food. Different from what he had at pmps and +3.

I'm sorry. I know how frustrating and disheartening it is when they don't feel well, and won't take the darn help we're trying to give them :bighug:
