Sorry I didnt get back on yesterday. Cleaning bug hit, nice visit with dad, and digging through the treasures he left - many things belonging to family members who have GA...so I was a little wrapped up in emotion before I set it all aside for another day. Then work! Today, sleeeeep!

Yesterday:
Latte's low was 204 @ +6. She made a nice slow slide down, and a nice slow slide back up. Her pmps +7.5 when i got home from work was 298. During the day She nibble on some kibble while I was cleaning. Other than that, she was difficult to rouse, even to greet my dad (she loves people!), not interested in food beyond her amps +6. Hard to even get her to eat babyfood before leaving for work. no food in pm cycle basically, until I got home. Then it was quite a chore to get her to eat just a little wet and kibble.

This A.M.:
Me - only 2.5hrs of sleep. Her - not interested in eating until I put her in front of bowl. She ate, then vomited. Last time she did this right after her shot she plummeted. I cant expect her to eat right after vomiting, and I was sooooooooo tired. it was not looking to be a great start.
+.5-vomit
+.75-187, cerenia
+1.25- offered food (aint havin' it), babyfood with drop of karo to prevent nose dive and maximize what she WILL eat - 2tsp max.
+1.5- 140, more babyfood. Not too excited, but had a few licks, repeat
+2.25-142, another tsp or so of bf, cypro, me bed slept through +3
+4- 140, started eating kibble. me-bed, slept through +5 and +6 :(
+6.5- 275, kibble
+8- eating some wet, kiibble, and drinking, up and about (probably side effect of cypro)

She has not seen blue in quite a few days, so I guess liver got freaky on her pretty quick. Add all the kibble in the mix and we are sitting high for a while. :YMSIGH:

:?: Can I ask a question :?:
Would I/should I have just stayed at the sk2 after Mondays low pmps. Like, skip or give bcs as I did, then go right back to sk 2? Would that have been better? i thought I made good choices, but maybe not. Just wondering what other options would have been.

Vet -
he did not call, but emailed. Said OLD xrays (last year) showed hips lookin ggood. But spinal diseas (arthritis of lumbosacral joint). I think it would be curious to see if that is what we are looking at, how much worse it has gotten, and/or if there is something else deteriorating. He said pain management is key. So, I have to find the right time to try this bupe again...when she is NOT feeling well, the clinic is open, and I can be home. Not easy to coordinate.

(((Carolyn and Latte))) You work so hard for your sweet kitty. I wish she could eat and keep food down in her tummy where the food belongs.

I think the way you increased after Monday's low was just fine. It would have been hard to jump back to the dose that got her too low to shoot in the first place. Working back up with the dose sounds like what I would have done for Latte.

Aww. Sorry to hear about the arthritis in her back. I sure hope you can coordinate everything and can get to the vet's office at the right time to get the pain management with bupe.

Best of luck.

Hugs to both you and Latte
I cannot imagine how heartbreaking it is to watch her vomiting.
Feel better Latte and Max is blowing kisses from here hoping you
will keep the food down, ok? :YMHUG: :YMHUG:

With Latte, I don't know if there is a "right" answer. With other kitties, if you give a BCS shot, you go back to your previous dose. Whether this would have been the preferred method for Latte, I don't know.
