4/25 Michelangelo AMPS 166, +5/277 PMPS 258, +4/90

Previous Condo.

I didn't realize how long it's been since I last posted a Mikey Condo.

I've been trying to find the right dose because he seems to be falling somewhere between a skinny 2.5 and a full 2.5u; skinny is too little and the full is too much. :? These last few days, he seems to finally be able to take the full without dropping to nerve-wracking nailbite_smile levels. For a little while there, I was considering going out and buying some 10% carb food to float him along on the full 2.5u dose till he got big enough for it. Now I'm a little glad that I was too lazy to go to the store and buy him some and instead just waited it out with these fluctuating numbers.

But, Dale 'n' Chip (and Marje) will be happy to hear that it's because of this delicate balance that I'm finally giving in and am ordering myself some of those Terumos and am going to start using dosing calipers. Mikey has proven too sensitive to dose adjustments for me to keep guesstimating on the cheap-o ReliOn syringes like I've been doing.

I also used this opportunity to test out whether or not his vial is still any good. I'm not seeing any floaties or particles in it nor is it cloudy, but each time I've used the vial, he's hit pinks again, which we haven't been seeing for a while. I think it's safe to assume at this point that the vial is not good any more.

And because I haven't had a Condo in a while, time for a pic, too.

(I had to attach it because for some reason, FDMB is not letting me link to images right now and keeps claiming they're over 400 pixels high when they're not).

We're getting back on track finally after this last double-peaked growth spurt!

I suspect you will be happy to finally know what you are actually shooting. :thumbup

The Borg Queen will surely be happy you are fully assimilated into the collective?

And I'm happy just to get to see pics of such an unusual and amazing kitten. :YMPEACE:

Yeah Mikey! Work that dose!!! Gobbles has a similar mouse, though missing a tail...we refer to it as his "good mouse" and I think he cherishes it because it was my valentines day present to him

I'm only going to be able to get in a couple of tests today, so I didn't feel like starting an entirely new condo with just an AMPS update so I could reply to Kat. :lol:

Btw, Mikey's AMPS this morning was 274.

Gobbles has a similar mouse, though missing a tail...we refer to it as his "good mouse" and I think he cherishes it because it was my valentines day present to him

When I first got him, I wasn't exactly expecting him so I had no cat toys or anything, just a gold ribbon off a jewelry box. The next day, I got him some toys, including the mouse, and he ignored everything except the mouse and the ribbon. I eventually got smart and tied the ribbon to the mouse and it became his most favorite thing ever! He's like a toddler with his blankie!

Mikey actually has three of these mice so I can toss them in the wash when they get really grimy. I even had to search 3 different stores before I found a gold ribbon that matched the first one because any other color ribbon I tried to put on his new mice, he would look at them as if they were strangers trying to replace his beloved. :roll: Even Henry is obsessed with them and will collect them into little "mouse piles" around the house.

ETA: Okay, I actually managed to post a new condo for today. :lol:
