3/1 Cargo AMPS 283, 187@ +4, 177@+6, PMPS 288

[Mel and Cargo]

Good morning!

Well, I slept through the night a little too soundly so I wasn't able to get a middle of the night reading, but we're starting out a little better today at 283 after a dose increase. Come on Cargo, let's get a bit closer to the lagoon!

Hope everyone is well!

Nice surfing those blues.

From yesterdays' post - link here:

His puke has been mostly just light brown, non-foamy, small diameter (maybe 3 inches for the first, 1 inch for the second - because if there's one there's two!), fully digested food unless it's plant stems which are recognizable. He puked more frequently back when first diagnosed and had higher BGs so I'm hoping that's all this is. Just sad that it's back.

I'm wondering if you are dealing with a food allergy. You might want to keep of which proteins you are feeding when to see if there is a correlation. My vet was amused by my "vomit log", daily list of proteins and vomit description. If it's hairballs, then some people are using dried egg yolk powder.

That's a great idea! Sometimes it is hairballs so I'll look into the egg powder. And P.S. thanks for the link, I forgot this morning!

It has also occurred to me that Cargo's insulin is coming up on it's end of life - I have been using the vial for almost 3 months. So there's a very real possibility that it's causing at least some of this. Plus with my forgetful BF, it's not too far off to assume he may have left it out of the fridge for a while after a jab. Many times I've come home from a trip to find used needles laying around in odd places because he jabs and forgets. Gotta love adult ADHD! It often feels like I live with a heroin addict!

A lot of people get 5-6 months out of their vials. A few hours here or there out of the fridge should be fine, as long as it still looks clear, with no floaties.

Ok, well there goes that theory! I get the new vial for the PMPS tomorrow. We'll at least be able to take that out of the list of variables...
