Well the mirtz seems to have hit hard and then nuttin.....there was a lot of food not eaten again last night. I am putting the miralax in the first meal of each cycle as that seems to be when he shows the most interest.....cosequin in the second and the probiotic in the 4th....I did water it down and that seems to be the point where he lost interest, so I am not sure how well that trick will work.....but we keep on keepin'

Still no poop :( He got lactulose again last night. I will check the boxes before I leave and if still nuttin then I will give him another dose of it. I am getting a little anxious as I really do not want him to have to go through another enema, but I guess if that is what has to happen, so be it. I keep telling myself it is good news that it is at least MOVING and there is new/non dried hard poop. My only concern, is if he doesn't pass the old stuff, will the new stuff become hard and dry etc and then we are in the same position we were in Sunday?

I am also trying not to freak out over the higher numbers as I know this, as well as the constipated poop, will pass....just not great with the patience thing.....I am trying to see it as a good sign that he spent a lot of the night sleeping with me and was bugging me this morning.....which was why I was a bit disappointed when I saw no poop in the LB. I have even looked around the house to see if maybe he went someplace else, but no luck....

If you all wouldn't mind continuing with those awesome poop vines, hopefully they will kick in today!
 
Poop and appy vines from me too. That is what mirt did for my Tiffany. It worked right away and then nothing. Ask about cyproheptadine. It's a human antihistamine and is dosed up to twice day. I was told to give 1/4 tablet but just a sliver gets Max eating. I didn't that with Tiffany and so she got 1/4 but it worked until she was so sick that nothing would. Skooter might also be nauseous. In fact he probably is. Ondansetron, another human drug, works really well for it. I'd call and discuss it with your vet.
 
poop, Skooter, poop. I know you can do it! I'm going to do the "poop dance" just for you:cat:
More poo vines on the way:bighug::bighug:

Well his appy seems to be back, pretty much from the first meals of the day are gone. I walked in and he was walking around, BUT NO POOP IN THE LITTER BOX. I have searched the house in case he has opted to poop someplace else and nothing.....sigh....

I have a call into the vet to see if she wants to see him tomorrow or Friday if there is no poop, for another enema :(

I am glad I am sticking with the 0.25 for right now with his +6 of 113.....He was doing so well and had his bouncing under control....I wonder if this is going to screw with that, too.....only time will tell and one issue at a time....right now, we need some poop Skooter.....no pressure to perform or anything, but let's get that old stuff out so you can feel tons better.....

Thanks for the continued vines and cheers for some poop....I can't believe I am so obsessed with it and want to see it as much as I do....I know understand why some people take pictures of it. I may have to do that if he ever does it lolol
 
Talked to the vetty and we will go in for another round of fluids tonight if he has not gone yet. Since he is eating a bit more (yay!) she wants to hold off on doing an enema or anything, especially as she is not in the office today.....so we will do another round of fluids tonight and see if that helps at all.....

Come on Skooter....POOP ALREADY!
 
Just got back from getting 200 ccs of fluids....I brought his bed with as he seems to do better when he is comfy in that....we did notice there was some staining that had to be some sort of poop, just not sure where it came from....I know it is since he came home and he was cleaning himself down there.....

I will call the vetty in the morning either way, as they want to know when he does poop....if he hasn't then I think he will have to get a second enema, but the vet is trying to avoid that at all possible. She also wants to make sure she is there when it is done as Skooter does really well with her because he knows her so well....and more importantly SHE knows HIM....so she isn't freaked out by his hissing or anything he may do....

And yes, I cried when I got there. I am just so tired and exhausted and his numbers are horrible and I just want him to poop and to get back on track with everything....I was talking to my mom on the way home and I said not as a slam to anyone else because I know my family loves him, but no one loves him like I do and I am really feeling like a failure here. It would be different if there was someone I could share the burden with, but I can't really share it with my family because again, its a different relationship. Its hard to explain and I don't know if I am making sense anymore. I don't even like to poop now if he is around because I feel bad....

I think tonight might be a night for a good cry....


before I do that, I have a few questions.....so I am assuming he must be starting to bounce again as he is going to the low 100s and then bouncing to close to 300....I still don't want to change from 0.25 to 0.50, though his appy is getting better....once he poops and is regular again, will I have to be dealing with this bouncing again?

Also, I thought I remember someone saying that giving fluids can also alter their numbers? Does it make them go low or high? I just want to know what I should be prepared for....
 
((((Molly)))) You are doing a SUPER job with Skooter, FD is a tough disease. Fluids can make numbers go low. Seems like 200 ml is a lot too. We usually gave 100 ml to Zener and sometimes kitties get 150 ml. Big hugs to you.

((((Molly)))) Sounds like a perfect night to cuddle with Skooter. :bighug::bighug: You've done everything you can do tonight. The rest is up to Skooter.

As for the numbers, BG's tend to be flatter when they are lower. Since he's starting higher, you are seeing more of a range. I don't think it's bouncing. Once you can get enough insulin in him, he'll come down.
 
Molly, everyone here understands. I'd bet a week's wages (enough for a Starbucks and a donut) everyone here has come close to tears if not actually having them roll off their nose when confronted with the frustration of a sick kitty. We have your back...and Skooter's.

You're being proactive. You're doing everything you can. It will work. Skooter will pooooooooooooooooooooooooop. Sooner would be better than later. (Hear that Skooterboy) But he will.

And you've got a great vet!

Off for more poo dancing.

Marilyn and Polly
 
I'm sending lots and lots of poo vines to Skooter!!! You are definitely doing a phenomenal job taking care of him, and it sounds like he's getting all the right help. I know how scary it is when something is wrong:( I hope he feels better and gets back to normal very soon!!
 
Skooter, I'm still poo dancing please poop.:cat:
Meows & purrs.
Michael
Pawscript: Molly you are doing a great job, and Skooter knows it.:cat:
 
Molly, you and I need to go off in a corner and have our own little pity party. Then we'll both feel better and get back to taking care of our babies! You know you rock as a mamabean, and don't you let anyone tell you any different (including yourself). Skooter loves you and I'm sure he wants to poop to make you happy! Hang in there. :bighug:

Sending a truckload of poo vines!
 
Sending poopy thoughts to Scooter. Wait, that doesn't sound right...sending thoughts of easy poops to Scooter? Fine, I'll say what everyone else is saying...sending MEGA POO VINES to your sweetie pie! And if I could, I'd send you a glass (or two) of wine and some chocolate because you deserve it for being the great mamabean you are. :bighug:
 
:bighug::bighug::bighug:It's good to have a big cry and let some of the pressure out, I would have broken by now for sure. There's not much that can make you feel more miserable than a sick critter that you're already doing everything you can for :( you feel so useless

Mum came over to visit today and we did a poo dance together for your Skooter, hoping so much that it's worked and you wake up to poop everywhere.

I wouldn't be worried about his numbers until this is sorted out, they'll bounce back.

More poop vines on the way
