Quick condo for Trix today, as I somewhat overslept and have to start getting ready for work in a few minutes.
Fortunately, the only real thing I have to report is a pretty happy appy....possibly the happiest I've seen since the p-titis started up. She's already eaten close to a full "normal" breakfast amount, although I still plan on having DH stuff food into her until early afternoon...she still needs the calories. I've only used about 6 kibbles today...she's eating so much better I don't think she really needs them. I bought her some Orijen, though...grain-free, high protein, probably lower carb, and probably better for her than the civvie kibbles. Even if I have to increase the kibble quantity, which I hope I don't, hopefully these won't spike her BGs too much...although the other night when she DID have more kibbles, Mr P still kicked and brought her BGs down to a decent level. I hope I don't have to push our luck with that, though....keep eating that LC mush, Trix!
Interesting tidbit from yesterday's BW report: Her blood glucose was just barely within range despite not having juice for 5 weeks...according to that report, she wouldn't have been diagnosed with FD this week!
No poop that I can confirm to be hers to report on yet. She's a tricky one to catch in the act, and with 4 others and some enthusiastic diggers, one can't always tell what's what in the LB.
Gotta eat really quick and get moving. Have a great day, LL!

ETA: @Marje - I did see the discussion about Azodyl in Lucy's condo. I haven't had a chance to dig further. One issue that does concern me is trying to get it into her on an empty stomach - for two reasons: one is I don't know how I could pull off the timing given my schedule. And the other is I worry about it upsetting her empty stomach. Mario used to have that problem when I tried to get the Denamarin into him on an empty stomach...it would often make him barf, and I think it was because that one little bitty thing just sent his stomach into motion, but once the motion started, his stomach needed more than that and when it didn't get more, he'd do the foamy white throw up thing. When I stopped giving it, the barfing was greatly reduced. I don't want to put Trix through that...

Love the BW comments too. She has been posting good numbers, Some high PS but the +3/4 etc sure are nice. Excellent too on the maybe no more kibble needed.
