6/6 Doodle~ 1ps = 325, 2ps = 159

Doodle's numbers haven't been so great for the last week -- at first I thought it was just rebound and bouncing... but he acts tired and isn't really grooming himself.
Not sure what's going on with him. (blood pressure? potassium?)
I was getting so used to him having good numbers, that it's really a bit more disturbing and upsetting than it probably should be to see him back to these numbers.

His litterbox is okay - though he's still peeing large amounts.
He purrs easily and doesn't seem to be in any pain, but he's lost exactly a pound in the last 5 weeks (that's 10% of his body weight)
His ultrasound is tomorrow.

Good luck with the ultrasound! I will be very interested to hear the results. (((Doodle))).

I hope the vettybean has some answers.

I wonder if there is something going around. Cosmo not feeling so hot either.

Hoping that the Ultrasound goes well tomorrow and that the Doodlebug's numbers settle down for you. I'll be thinking of you.

poor Doodle, I hope he feels better soon. Good luck at the vet.

 

[Nina and KB]

Thinking of you and the Doodlebutt, I hope things go well at the vet tomorrow.

Low potassium can cause fatigue/lethargy. The antihypertensives (amlodipine? I can't remember.) may also be causing the excess peeing. Many of the blood pressure meds act like diuretics -- which could also be contributing to weight loss.

Are you keeping track of what how much Doodle is eating? If the caloric intake has been the same, the weight loss may be due to a drop in fluid volume.
