Well it looks like Tori is having another one of her CP flares with some constipation thrown in for good measure. After a couple of days of being rather subdued and just not being quite herself she decided to show me in her own unsubtle way how lousy she was feeling and pooped on the mat in my room. The stool was quite hard and there was a tiny bit of blood on the outside of it. She ate a poor lunch so I decided to give her some Metacop an hour before supper. She had to be finger fed. So I decided to treat her as a CP flare with the usual regime of Pepcid, Metacop, Buorenex and squids. I gave her a bit of Miralax as well. Daniel kept a good eye on her during the night and her numbers ranged from 176 at +2 to 104 at +8. She ate a1/2 can of FF for him. Of course I spent an anxious night at work worrying about her.
This morning when I got home I found that someone had brought up a couple of humongous hairballs. Tori was no where in sight and I started to get panicky. Then she started coming up the stairs from the litter box. I was so relieved. She actually looks quite a bit better this morning. After giving the Metacop and waiting a 1/2 hour she ate about a 1/2 can of FF on her own. I thought for a few minutes that she wasn't going to keep it down as she was wretching a bit but so far so good. She looks more herself today as well. So my plan is to continue treating her as a CP flare. Hopefully this is going to be a mild one. I'll be checking her sugars every couple of hours at least depending on how things go. I'm planning to give her fluids this afternoon so their action won't peak in the middle of the night. Some sleep between checks would be nice too.
I hope everyone has a relaxing Sunday. My prayers go out to those kitties who aren't feeling well and their Beans.
