5/27 Snuggie: PMPS 401; +2.5 425 ((AMPS 288; +3 334; +10 366 (after an eventful night

Well, it's either the dose increase or the antibiotics (probably both), but we're currently in the yellows! Had a blue (188) at +3 (before bed) last night. I didn't trust it but felt it would be less stressful for all if i just set an alarm. +5 was 254.

(I usually do the ear, but if he's not cooperating I'll do the paw pad. The previous night, i had to poke his poor little paw 3x and I noticed he wouldn't put weight on it for a few minutes and I wanted to cry. I put it on a covered ice pack for a few seconds.)

In other news, the carpet peeing is just getting WORSE. I know it takes a few days for antibiotics and d-mannose etc to kick in (if they're even the right antibiotics, won't know til Monday-ish), but in the last 3 hours i've cleaned up 4 spots, 2 of which happened in those past 3 hours. He won't go on towels that i put down, and he went right on top of an area that i had JUST cleaned and sprayed and was still wet. I'm hesitant to use puppy pee pads because i don't want him to think it's "OK" to go there, but our entire hallway is soaked with pee and natures miracle. Any suggestions? I did hear him meowl during one of the episodes so i know he must be in pain...

Poor baby. I hope it’s the right antibiotic.

 

Hang in there, Jill
I believe antibiotics most commonly raise the BG, so it is good that you are seeing a low AMPS, despite the antibiotics.
Hope the peeing stop soon!

 

Thanks @tiffmaxee and @Hercule's mum!!

I hope it’s the right one too. I put a LB in the hall where he’s been going and he’s used it once already. I feel so bad for him. I may confine him to my office at night with everything he needs and sleep in there with him.

 

Update: hallway litter box 4, carpet 0 since I put it there ... please let this be rhe solution til he starts feeling better!

 

Awww, poor fella! Perhaps he was associating his usual litter box location with pain/discomfort, so he opted for the hallway. Sounds like you did just the right thing!

I hope he feels better soon! And great news on the numbers!

 

Go Hallway litter box!!!

 

Current tally:
Hallway litter box 5
Carpet: 1

LOL! Thanks for making this lighthearted, I need it!
