Good Morning LL Family ~O) I decided yesterday evening to bump up Gobbles dose by .25; although his PM+4 was 367, his PM+10.5 was only 178, which is awesome!!! I didn't expect the increase to reflect in his BG that quick as he had another increase of .25 just a few days ago. Opinions? He woke me up with total cuteness and love; giving Mommy kisses, purrs & hugs...then marched to the bathroom and as usual fashion, took what was left of yesterday's TP (he was a tad over zealous with his TP offering) as a gift to Mommy for helping FDMB with the Raffle. He then proceeded to drive the ice cream truck again and treated me with soft serve poo (though slightly runny). I am trying a diet change but thought by now offerings would firm up a bit more.

Gobbles' vet called this morning with some of his lab results from 4/3 (unfortunately, the laboratory did not have enough blood to run the TLI panel and therefore, I have to take Gobbles back to the vet's office for a blood draw). Of course, I didn't get a run down of every test (will pick up a copy this week, then update labs on his SS) but he said his ALT was 146 (132 on 3/13 & 127 on 2/26) which concerns me; I mentioned that he was taking Denamarin (due to ALT) before his diarrhea got bad and that it was discontinued a few weeks ago (temporarily). He advised to withhold the Denamarin until his BMs were normal. At this point, I am seriously thinking about just starting him back on Denamarin today. Opinions?

Gobbles glucose tested at 418; not a real shocker because (1) he was very scared that day and (2) I tested him at home, 1/2 hour before his appointment, and he was at 298. I was told the TCR and GI Panel were all good. I inquired about starting Pet Dophilus in place of Pearls; he is familiar with it and had said in the past that "sometimes you have to find the right/best probiotic" and thought it was a good idea to give the Pet Dophilus a try; I'll order some online today.I ordered ReNew Ultimate Critical Care 50 online today for just over $16, including s/h!

I've never used the probiotic you mentioned. I'd suggest ReNew Ultimate. It's a heavy duty probiotic that I've used with Gabby and Marje uses, as well. It's available at Whole Foods.

The reason I can't go to a WF store to buy ReNew Ultimate is because the nearest Whole Foods Market is about 60 miles from me and it appears that you cannot order it from their website. However, I found this http://probiotics-supplements.renewlife.com/search#w=renew ultimate online that I can order: are any of these (shown on website link) the correct product? Also, what is the dosage? Is it powder, tablet or capsule?

You might call around to see if other places (health food store, GNC, etc.) carry it. It's not a proprietary brand that's stocked by Whole Foods. I've found it in their refrigerated case so I don't know about trusting it to the mail. You use about 1/3 of a capsule twice a day. Both Marje and I mixed it into our kitties' food.

I would check with Marje to see which variety she was using.

Thanks Sienne; there is a GNC in the mall close to my home...I can call there once I know which of the ReNew products it is....

Just stopping by to say Hello! That was awfully sweet of Gobbles to help take care of the TP! What a great way for him to get his exercise! Kitty exercise

Hope you find a probiotic that works for him. Not too many things that are worse than soft serve poo! :?

Have a great Tuesday!

Thanks Deborah!! What a cute picture; thanks for sharing that--yup, that's what Gobbles does!!! Hmmm....let me see...worse than soft serve poo....probably being the poor kitty who is being watched by Big Brother Buck (my deer cam) every time he visits the LB... :lol:

We had a frappe here a few times last week and a few weeks before~be it soft serve or frappe it is usually a dijon mustard/brownish color...
 
Re: 4/9 Gobbles AMPS 196 +2 179 ? opinions ? partial Lab Res

Oh my! You all almost got me in trouble with your talks of frappe poos! I almost laughed out loud (which would have been followed by some random squeals of ewwwww)...as my students are concentrating on taking their test and being so quiet doing so! That would have been embarrassing! :oops: but then again, so is being watched while doing one's business in the LB! :lol:

Nice blue Gobbles. That's too bad about the TLI panel. Grrrrr. If Gobbles is anything like T, the last thing you need is another trip to the vet. Have a great day Kat!!
 
Re: 4/9 Gobbles AMPS 196 +2 179 ? opinions ? partial Lab Res

Kat

On that website, it's the first one that is on sale for $18+. I know John got that at GNC for PF.

Petdophilus has maltodextrin which can raise BG. I know Ann uses it for Tess without a problem but I used it twice with Gracie and it did raise her BG. The Renew Ultimate Flors does not.

This is what I orderd: http://www.renewlife.com/ultimate-flora-critical-care-50-billion.html I am sure it is the right one, correct? It was $18.89, but I got two discounts: I found a promo code for 15% and free shipping (at http://www.retailmenot.com -- best coupon code site there is!!!) :-D
 
Re: 4/9 Gobbles AMPS 196 +2 179 +4 153 +8 178

Sweet Gobbles. Maybe you are camera shy, little one? @-) I'm sending you special healing tummy rubs (very gentle ones) so you can get back to normal in the litter box and your bean can worry less about you. Take care, precious kitty, and get healthy and strong! cat_pet_icon
 
Re: 4/9 Gobbles AMPS 196 +2 179 +4 153 +8 178

Thanks Phyllis & Josie -- I'm sure you kind thoughts will help his tummy :-D At least his BG is finally coming down; so that is something :-D

I know, I was slightly ticked--not because I had to drive back over there, but because Gobble is so scared whenever we go. Thankfully, the one tech who he doesn't seem afraid of, did his blood draw.

I just wanted to say hi and I hope Gobbles is feeling better:) Good luck with the probiotic, it's always nice to find a good deal online :-D

Re: 4/9 Gobbles PMPS 333

Those are some nice numbers for Gobby today! Hopefully the new probiotic will work. I would be furious if they screwed up my kitty's BW. Actually, that did happen with my Mario a little over a year ago...the vet's office had gotten a new computer system, DH took him for the blood draw, and when he got home, I immediately knew they ordered the wrong tests by the dollar amount (I was at work - he e-mailed me the total). They didn't know why he was there because they didn't know how to navigate the new computer system, so they guessed at the BW, rather than ask DH. Needless to say, I went off on them...admittedly using language I probably shouldn't have. Mario was almost 17 at the time, and spent too much time traveling back and forth for tests as it was - it was hard on both him and me. And they couldn't call and change the test order. Oh, I was SO mad....

Anyway....have a great night, guys!

Yes ma'am, Gobbles had some nice AM cycle numbers and I'm very happy about it. I was somewhat furious. Thankfully, when I brought him back today, the one vet who it doesn't appear he is scared poopless of (and a fellow sugar Mom) did his blood draw. I felt like asking for a gift certificate or something, but whatever! Sorry you had the situation you did :?
 
Re: 4/9 Gobbles PMPS 333

Nice blues today. I hope Gobbles will come back down for you soon. Good luck with the new probiotic.
