12/14 Freckles AMPS 259, @+5 212 and frustrated

[Judy and Freckles]

Thursday

Very frustrating that Freckles continues to hang out in the yellows! She is so close to getting into seeing some blues. I've ordered another new toy that is a treat tree. She's never really been one to play with toys, but I think I can get her motivated to get some exercise if there is freeze dried chicken as the reward!

Uh oh Freckles...you better start working harder. I think a dosecrease threat may be looming! Be good for mom and show her you can get back down to the beach
Freckles is one lucky cat to have a momma like you! Toys, toys and more toys. Ittle and Moey may abandon me to go live with you
I hope you have a beautiful day Judy!

Toys, toys and more toys

Thanks, but Freckles would much more prefer "food, food, and more food!" lol If I get any more cats, DH has threatened to relocate all of us to the garage!

After chasing FD chicken pieces, managed to get blue reading @+8.5 (191 - I'll definitely take it!)

 

[Jill & Scooter]

Yay for blue! Blue is your color Freckles!

Has anyone helped you with dosing and TR guidelines? I'm not one of the experts so, I can't help you with that (besides copying/pasting from the yellow sticky guidelines). You may want to include a comment like dosing advice/feeling frustrated or smthg like that if you need some guidance. A question mark prefix may draw some attention as well. Gosh I hate being presumptuous I think you could have increased Freckles dose by now, but again, I'm not one of the experienced folk. Hopefully I'm not being too nosey I'd like you to be happy with Freckles #s, while doing so in a safe manner

@Briere Fur Mom - Judy is following TR to the letter. I suspect what has you confused is the fur shot on 12/11. If there's a fur shot, skipped shot or reduced dose, the cycle count starts over. PMPS tonight will be 6 cycles at 3.75u. So, unless Freckles decides he wants a dose reduction today, he gets a dose increase tomorrow morning.

Hang in there. At least you saw some blue today. You'll see more eventually. Good luck with the new dose tomorrow.

Thank you so much for explaining that to me. Learning is paramount

Paws crossed that full depot tonight shows some action. If not, guess what happens Freckles! (sometimes cats respond to dose increase threats )

some blue today

Yes, we saw a glimmer of blue, but that was after induced exercise. Too bad Freckles doesn't take after our Border Collie.... exercise would not be an issue!

Oh, yes... Freckles and I have had some pretty serious conversations about the dose increase! She's also getting her caloric intake reduced starting tomorrow as she has gained back the weight she lost, and she doesn't need to turn into a two tonne Tony!

 

[Marje and Gracie]

I agree with Wendy. I’d increase in the morning. One very high blue number doesn’t warrant holding the dose longer than six cycles. Up to 4u!

Good luck with the increase and know we are supporting you and cheering Freckles on!
