Yesterday

Last night was another crazy numbers night. Her pre-dinner test registered a whopping 182, then three hours after eating she was at 60 :shock: :mrgreen: ! I wish I knew what all these means...when I see those higher numbers, I want to reach for the needle; when I see the lower numbers, I'm glad I didn't. It's odd, but then again, Trix never follows a structured path anyway! Today, she is much "flatter."

She did have a very soft poop last night...so, I guess she is not in need of Miralax any longer. At least I hope it was miralax-induced soft poop. So no more miralax for now.

This morning was SOOOO old school Trixie! She snuggled while I checked e-mail and spent a few minutes waking up. She hopped up on the ottoman for her test, hopped down to the floor for her first breffis. After a not-too-shabby start, she realized everyone else had MUCH better crunchy stuff in their bowls, and - for the first time since the p-titis - I had to play food bowl referee :-D !!! It's not fun, and she is fast, but it was awesome awesome awesome to see her old speed and determination back on the scene! Once she realized she wasn't getting to the bowls, she headed upstairs where she did finish her first breffis and had a very good second breffis with MamaBean holding the plate. I actually can SEE forward progress with the food habits, though...she is starting to eat more normal amounts without me holding the plate...slowly but surely, she is getting there.

I had another loooonnnnnggg day at work yesterday...I ended up teaching TWO classes while running the store by myself. I am beat, and relieved to have today and tomorrow off. I will be happy to NOT chit chat with anyone! And, I will get to visit condos in between being leisurely and getting a few things done around the house.

Have a wonderful Memorial Day, LL...and many thanks to all who have served our country.

Amy

I'm glad Trixie is improving slowly but surely :-D
I would have been concerned with that 182 too. She does like to keep you on your toes cat_pet_icon

I am always monitoring hardness of poo, too :cool: I hope you have a great day!

Okay, now I know Trixie is back to normal. Messing with you with that high PS is so catlike! I'm glad she doesn't drag it out though, and comes down after eating. You know, if we were to test a cat that never had FD, I wonder if we would see a pattern like that? I mean, BG is affected by lots of things besides just food, so I'm sure the civvies spike like that from time to time, too. The important thing is that she brings it back down herself - at least, IMHO, for whatever that's worth! ;-) :lol:

Two days off? Awesome! Enjoy your time with your kitties. I hope you don't have too many chores to catch up on. You could be like me and just ignore them! :o :lol:

Hi Amy!!!
I'm so glad to hear the Trixie keeps improving!
 
I wonder, too, Tricia, what we would see in a non-FD cat on a regular basis. However, I don't wonder so much that I would put any of my civvies through routine testing to find out! I agree about her bringing herself down...it keeps me guessing, but at the same time, I know if she can bring herself down to 60 without juice, I need to stay away from the syringe since that would just add a layer of complication to her new-found wonky eating habits.

We were going to try to skip fluids tonight to see if she feels OK with an every other night routine, but MamaBean couldn't handle it :roll: ...I was afraid she might not feel well in the morning if we skipped tonight. MamaBean really needs to get a grip!
 
Hi Amy ~O)

What a great Trixie report! Things are coming around full circle. how very cool.

Can I smile over the fluids story?

Enjoy what is left of your holiday weekend. :-D
