Hello! C'mon Moses! It's rainy here, and I think Moses wants it sunny. Maybe that's why he's yellow! C'mon Moses, more blue! :mrgreen:

In fact, I got on earlier to post, but I saw Moses in a really feisty mood so I tore off after him (versus post) and chased him around. It was so fun! He was mreowing and romping, pretending to be spooked and pouncing with those front paws spread. He's so cute.

And get this, a first for Moses! The gate that separates him from the nutty tabby downstairs (see photos) drives Moses crazy. It's at the top of the stairs (we live up there together) and he'll get his paws on the top and peer just the tip of his nose over. Or he'll get the paws on top and shake the gate really heard and meow at the top of his lungs at the same time, to get attention. He especially enjoys doing this when he hears me sit down at the piano and play. Anyways... today we were running and it was fun. Then I went downstairs, in which Moses did the gate slam and mreaow. When I came up, I was just on the other side of the gate, whispering his name. And today! When I popped my head over the gate, he popped his paw on the side of my face!!! Of course it was a soft little paw, but he's not a bopper! And he bopped me and tore off down the hall. He's been watching nutty Ellie downstairs, way to much. And of course I chased him. lol :mrgreen:

Okay!

Now for serious stuff. :smile:

I made a mistake yesterday :oops: I was so tired. Moses ended up dropping at his +4 and I just fed him some gravy, w/no further testing. Which I know it super bad! I'm totally sorry. I saw your reply about coffee, Sienne & Gabby, and I apologize about not replying back. All is okay, but still, I'll try no to do that again. I was so sleepy and wasn't thinking straight.

I really appreciate everyone's comments yesterday. Thank you Missy & Little Gray, for that yahoo group for feline heart disease. I will definitely check it out. And I was so encouraged by your note, Nicole & Baby, thank you very much.

As for Moses medical update: I spoke with the diagnosis clinic today and we definitely all agree (Dr. Brewer included) that the ECG (Echocardiogram) is the best option for Moses, to see what's going on with his heart. It's very very expensive. I'm especially pleased that this test only requires Moses to lay on his side and they rub a soft probe over his chest. A $10,000 probe, is what he said, lol. We have a tentative appointment for Wednesday morning.

I'm swaying as what I want to do. The biggest part of me says to choose the ECG and take it day by day w/Moses. Just b/c I get the ECG does not mean we have to get surgery, it's just another piece of the puzzle so we can understand Moses better. The other part of me says to leave him alone. Let him enjoy his life. Vet/heart stress free.

Thinking about "the worst" for the future doesn't really get me anywhere b/c I'm really creative and that could go on forever about just about anything and everything. But to understand Moses better is a plus. We'll see. Keep me in your thoughts and prayers cat_pet_icon

:shock: Moses! Gearing up for Baby's Party, eh? Geez!! I think you & Gabby must be chatting!! Gooooooo Moses! Enjoy the Gravy Train.. Ride that Train!! :lol:
 
Re: 5/3 Moses PMPS 235 +3~47!

I thought I heard our names being mentioned in this condo! Sounds like Moses and Gabby have a taste for gravy!
 
Re: 5/3 Moses PMPS 235 +3~47! +4~34!

OK so, Moses is still dropping! I hate to use the 911 but I'm feeding him HC right now nailbite_smile
 
Re: 5/3 Moses PMPS 235 +3~47! +4~34!

just feed a lil HC though & test in 15 more mins or so...we dont want him to get full..Moses will be ok..yay for dosecrease!
 
Re: 5/3 Moses PMPS 235 +3~47! +4~34!

Okay, he just ate a good 2 spoonfuls!

C'mon gravy train! Start working! nailbite_smile I'll test in 10 more minutes
 
Re: 5/3 Moses PMPS 235 +3~47! +4~34!

You don't need the 911. We've all got your back. You've steered low numbers. This is the same routine - lather, rinse, repeat. Take a few breaths, while Moses is eating you get some chocolate. (Save the wine for after his numbers are surfing in the 50s or 60s!
 
Re: 5/3 Moses PMPS 235 +3~47! +4~34!

Okay I freaked. took 911 off. He's coming back for another snacky. 5 more minutes.

Chocolate? Yum, ice cream. Okay, time for my HC snacky :mrgreen:
 
Re: 5/3 Moses PMPS 235 +3~47! +4~34! +4.25~44

YAY!!!! 44! WHEW! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

I totally freaked. but hey, he's good, whew!

I just didn't understand why his MC wasn't working and freaking out if his HC wasn't blah blah blah... okay! great.

He caught this train, good.
 
Re: 5/3 Moses PMPS 235 +3~47! +4~34! +4.25~44

Hope his heart is well & good--Do what you think is right. HUGS!! Great job tonite! :YMHUG: :YMHUG:
 
Re: 5/3 Moses PMPS 235 +3~47! +4~34! +4.25~44 +5~61

Alright, the gravy boy is happy. Thus I'm happy!

Thanks for the hugs, Roni & Moonie :mrgreen: And hugs to everybody else! Goodnight!

Re: 5/3 Moses PMPS 235 +3~47! +4~34! +4.25~44 +5~61

I think when there's that much momentum behind a drop, it takes a little while for the food to catch up and throw the breaks on. You did great!
 
Re: 5/3 Moses PMPS 235 +3~47! +4~34! +4.25~44 +5~61

So... I was lying in bed.

And Moses just barfed his brains out. I don't know what's going on. His vomit had all his HC orangish wetness.

As well as some really weird greenish soft stuff. Very very weird. I don't know why. I'm going to check is blood in 15. That was 15 minutes ago :sad:
 
Re: 5/3 Moses PMPS 235 +3~47 +4~34 +5~61 +5.75~87 Question

Alright, so Moses has had a crazy night. Two questions:

1. Doesn't pukus makes his numbers go down? Especially since his HC dinner came out?

2. Moses gets Fancy Feast grilled for HC. I've noticed that he hasn't been eating the solid bits too much, but he'll have a little and slurp the gravy. I can't tell if those bits were what was in the pukus. My question is, lol, I'll refrigerate the HC. Instead of opening a new can everytime, I go back to the one in the fridge and mix it with the hot water, etc. etc. Is that a no no? Are those not supposed to be refrigerated and reused? Of course I toss them after a week in the fridge.

I'm trying to understand the pukus. And I'll get a +6.25. :-|

initially, the numbers might go up from the stress of vomiting. they *could* drop again, so you'll need to continue monitoring for awhile.

hope someone else weighs in on this. i don't use hc because alex is so darn carb sensitive...
 
Re: 5/3 Moses PMPS 235 +3~47 +4~34 +5~61 +5.75~87 Question

I wouldn't keep the HC in the refrigerator for more than a couple of days. I've sometimes seen it get kind of watery after about 5 days. I usually end up pitching a fair amount. (I give most of the solids to Gizmo and Gabby gets most of the gravy.)
 
Re: 5/3 Moses PMPS 235 +3~47 +4~34 +5~61 +5.75~87 Question

Okay, that makes total sense. This can is 5 days old. I think I'll stick to 3.

The strange thing is, Moses threw up a HUGE vomit. And then I locked him in the bathroom while I cleaned. And he was scarfing his leftover dinner when I opened the bathroom door. He's all out now, should I put some LC snacks in there, so he's not empty?

I'll test in 5 minutes. That'll be 1 hour after pukus, gross.
 
Re: 5/3 Moses PMPS 235 +3~47 +5~61 +6.25~91 Question

Okay, another question...

Is this a safe number to go to bed on? Should I leave out some LC food?
