Trix is still not 100%, but she is continuing to improve! When I got up in the middle of the night with Frankie (yep, that's still happening, although not as badly lately), Trix was downstairs snoozing on the ottoman snuggled next to Petey...another first! When I got up "for real" (fuds & meds time) this morning, she followed many of her usual rituals, like trotting in and out of the laundry room with me and snuggles on the computer chair while I checked e-mail.

She was feeling REALLY feisty when it came to the liquid famotadine. Since she is back to taking pill pockets (although I'm still cautious about it), I think I will try switching her over to the pill form tonight. We did give her 1ml/2mg ondansetron this morning, she took her BP meds, but we did skip the bupe. She seems to be OK, but I am watching her closely (while trying not to hover!) to see if she is uncomfortable at all. I think I want to do the odansetron for at least one more day. When I talked to the vetty the other day, she said we need to make sure Trix STAYS feeling good now, so we don't backslide. So, I admit, I'm a bit scared to stop the meds. Yikes.

She is still a bit nervous about eating downstairs with everyone else, but is eating pretty well (better than even yesterday) upstairs, near her safety zone rocking chair...or, even better, when MamaBean or DaddyBean holds the plate for her and she can eat will still curled up in the rocking chair! Oh, what a cat!

It has been a week now without insulin :shock: . I'm thankful for the normal numbers because shooting insulin right now does scare me...I'm afraid of her dropping and needing HC and having that rich food upset her tummy.

MamaBean is still a nervous wreck over all this. A minute or two after I got up, I heard someone barfing. I rush out to see if it was Trix. It wasn't; it was Zen hacking up a hairball. I'm still shaking....my nerves are just shot.

I'm off today, so it's chores and hanging with kitties!

Have a great day, LL!

Amy

That's good shes eating some more! a little progress is better than none, so paws crossed for Trixie! Sending some calming zen vines for momma bean, I can relate to shot nerves ;-) I have a barfing civvie too today and not sure whats up with her yet. :? Have a good day off!
 
Re: 4/29 Trixie AMBG 82

Oh gosh Amy, what a nice morning start. I'm sorry you're still a wreck, and I'm sure holding your breath, but those numbers for Miss Trixie, on no juice, just makes my heart soar :mrgreen: . I'm so glad she's eating, and getting better. :RAHCAT
 
Re: 4/29 Trixie AMBG 82

Fuds served on a plate in a rocking chair? Quite the princess! Glad she's feeling better. I bet she doesn't miss those extra pokies on top of everything else.

Morning Amy ~O) ~O) ~O)

Wow, what a great report for Trixie. I think the steady improvement is really great news. To think she's getting BG's like this without insulin is just very cool. It reminds me of Binks, where Čelí stopped the insulin, I can't remember why now, but Binks continued with the great numbers. Wouldn't that be cool if it was the same for Trixie.


I hope you have a great day today. I will send lots of relaxation vines to you.

Great report for Trixie feeling better!!! :-D :-D :-D Many comfort vines to you, Amy. I hope you can start to relax a bit.

Re: 4/29 Trixie AMBG 82

Amy, I really think you need to remember to BREATHE! I got stressed just reading your condo! It sounds like Trixie is improving every day, and her BGs are still just astounding. :-D :mrgreen:

You are doing a wonderful job with her, and she is very blessed to have you as her mamabean. Since you have resolved not to hover, you need to take a few steps back every now and then, sit down, close your eyes and go to a happy place (not that an FD kitty in the green while off the jus for a week isn't a happy place!).

Sending lots more healing and appy vines for Trixie, and tons of calming vines for you. I'll even throw in some sleep through the night vines for Frankie! ;-)
 
Re: 4/29 Trixie AMBG 82 - Snuggle Pic

Thanks for the calming vines...I know being such a worrier isn't productive at all, but unfortunately it's a powerful gene I inherited from both my parents. It drives ME crazy!

Took this just a minute ago...snuggling with Petey by the heating vent (it is damp and chilly here today.) She's still cautious about being downstairs, so I'm going to head upstairs to do some work so as to not spook her!

Awww. Nice pic. You are definitely being closely watched, though!

BTW, in spite of my tempting fate, I did not jinx myself into having a PJ party last night, but thanks for the reminder that it wasn't a good idea to say that! ;-)
 
Re: 4/29 Trixie AMBG 82 - Snuggle Pic

It's nice that she is returning to some of her normal routine and that her BG number is staying nice and low for you. One less thing to stress over.. Have a fun day with the kitties even if chores are on the "to do" list. ;-)

Hi Amy,
One foot in front of the other and try not to think too far ahead! Things are working out and every day is an improvement on the day before. It is really neat that Trixie is staying green without the juice. I hope she continues to take her meds gracefully and that you all will have a stress-free night.
Love the pic of Trixie and Petey.

Hugs and scritches,

Ella & Rusty
 
I did manage to get the famotadine pill (as opposed to the liquid) in her this evening, along with her BP pills. Phew.

I am trying SO hard to not be an insanely nervous MamaBean, but this is a HUGE challenge for me. I am trying to hold each little victory close.

I do remember Binks suddenly going OTJ...if I remember correctly, he had also gotten sick and Celi wasn't shooting because he wasn't eating, but I can't remember the details...

I enjoyed watching her snooze comfortably today....
 
i'm celebrating little signs of progress with miss trixie! fingers crossed for continued progress for the little girl.

i can relate to your worrier status! i'm such a worrier, i even worry before things have happened. ohmygod_smile it can drive a person crazy, but i'm not sure you can just stop being like that. sending you calming vibes, amy!! :YMHUG:
 
Every time I stopped ondansetron with Max, I did it very gradually. There is no downside to using it long term. I would go from twice a day to once a day for several days and then every other day. Many times I found out he still needed it.
