Morning ~O) ~O)

Today is Shadow's 12 th birthday. I am blessed. I hope we have quite a few more years together. (preferably otj) Today is also her 178 day OTJ .
Shadow and I laid in bed for a while this morning while she had her chin on my chin.... purring away. ( my digitial recorder should come any day now so I can try to capture some purr
sounds and her other little vocalizations.

For the most part she is still doing well. I spoke with the vet yesterday about the Adequan shots. We were supposed to go to every 2 weeks after getting them weekly for a month (every
tuesday) but on wednesday I thought she was in pain again....
I do notice that they help her on the day she gets them.... she sleeps deeper a few hours after the shot. Truly they should not be wearing off after a week, it's supposed to accumulate
over time but how do you judge how bad the pain is?
So for now, she can have one once a week but we'll keep an eye on her urine. Apparently if you get into the too frequent range it can cause blood in the urine.
I see her output every day since we have a little reservoir that I have to empty daily.

I'm also having to test more frequently as she is keeping her numbers right on the edge of otj numbers.... :o :?
she did good on 4/25.... her numbers dropped 4 hours after eating.....
But ....... yesterday she failed. :sad: her numbers stayed flat.

I am supposed to run tests for a few more days and see if she drops after eating as she should or if she fails more.
After yesterday, i am nailbite_smile .
That was definitely Not Good. And if we are losing remission....than her number of days OTJ would be adjusted down to 176 , subtracting yesterday and today.

I'm hoping for better results today. I didn't get to test early this morning. I only have one ear that works and I rolled over and heard her eating her overnight food at 5 am.
Lately she has been pretty much ignoring the food left out for in the night. I will test as soon as she has 4 hours after her last eats.
I have a pen in the fridge in case we have to re-start some insulin. :YMSIGH:


And OT:
my dd is clear now of all her stomach issues.
my dh is having all the tests run now after his hospital stay... they also found a cyst on his liver and he will have an mri next week to explore that.
And I will be having my nose surgery in 10 more days ( May 7) ... rotorooter surgery.... making the passageway where air can get thru.

Sending good wishes for DH and you. Glad to hear DD is finally rid of those tummy issues.

Try not to worry about Shadow....you are watching the numbers and can start up the insulin if need be.

Happy Birthday Shadow!

Rhiannon, I am soooooo happy to hear your DD is finally done with all her stomach issues. What a relief for her mom, huh?

I'm glad you're now able to get your nose done too. My daughter had it done too. She never talks about it anymore, so I guess she must feel good. :-D

Hey Shadow, let's keep those numbers down, okay? You're reading this condo, so you know the threat's down.

Hugs.

Re: 4/27 Shadow's birthday caturday condo

just tested since it's been 4 hours since breakfast.....

136 confused_cat :YMSIGH:

this is not the way to celebrate, Shadow....


hoping she'll be down 4 hours from now..... ( but since that's a higher number for her.... she should be )

wonder if she got a bite of dog food while I was in the shower....

Dancing on the edge, but it's still the edge! Shadow, we wish you the best birthday ever. Make your mamabean proud and give her a really nice PMPS, OK?
Rhiannon, that's great news about your DD. Continuing to send healing vines to your DH, and to you, for a successful "nose job".

Thanks for all your visits to Rusty's condo. So glad you're sticking around LL. Your help is greatly appreciated.

Have a good weekend,

I wish you much luck with everything else... Such a large plate you are carrying. I hope Shadow can retain remission. Paws are so crossed for you.

I hope your day has been a good one.
 
Re: 4/27 Shadow's birthday caturday condo

Happy Birthday, Shadow!!!!

FWIW, with Mario, we gave him the Adequan on an "as need" basis. Eventually, he did build up to needing it only once every 4 weeks, but it did take a while to get him there. He was on it for almost 2 years. I would give it to him as soon as he started getting gimpy again, and that ranged from once every 2-3 weeks for quite a while. It also sounds like you followed a different protocol than we did. Mario got shots twice a week for a month, then once a week for a month, then every other week...and after that, we played it by ear. I think giving it more frequently at the start helped with building him up. Give it time...I'm sure Shadow will get there, too. Fingers crossed that remission holds!!!
