So, Jones is back on the pred from the budesonide. He seems to be better in the last few days. I also did a tiny dose increase as it looked like his pancreas was a little stressed. Went from a F1 drop to 0.1U less 6 drops (his old dose before we started the vacation dose). Micro-dosing at its finest! He is seeing more greens again, which is nice. He did drop below the 90 mark and had held it for a bit, so I took 1 more drop out last night.
Did a keytone test as he came to pee in the litter box I just cleaned it (sigh) - so took the opportunity when I had it. That came back negative!
So, I failed the level II patience course by Jones, however I am retaking the course again. So the new plan:
That is it for the world of Jonesy.
Safe surfing to all the kitties.

So, I failed the level II patience course by Jones, however I am retaking the course again. So the new plan:
- Stick to the pred. We went back to it on the 04-28 and he does seem to be doing a little better now.
- Mirtz given in the evening of the 30th, as he didn't eat much that day and was way below the calorie intake. He made up for it that night.
- Re-introduced the homemade food for him as I was trying to get him to eat. Going slow, adding in a teaspoon on the first day 29th and 30th. Saw some gooey poo - not sure of his, but holding at the tsp per meal for now. He has eaten well for the last few days (mirtz influenced) will see if that continues.
- No more appetite stimulants unless he is way below his normal calorie intake for 2 days in a row.
- Keep food consistent. I have offered so much over the last two weeks or so to tempt him. I really just need to get him on the homemade diet so I can take out as many IBD variables as possible. So we are sticking with FF Turkey, Wellness Turkey/Chicken and the homemade Bison.
- Keep reminding myself that if he is doing good and happy - that is good enough - no need to improve on things.
That is it for the world of Jonesy.

Glad to hear his tummy is better even if it means pred. Keep doing what you're doing...Jonsey in charge
