No gooey poop overnight. I forgot to close his feeder when I stirred it at +5 - his sister ate it all.
So I am not surprised his AMPS is so high due to not getting his usually late cycle snack plus it was a good run of blue yesterday, maybe even green, that may have caused a bounce.
Talked with his regular vet, he is confusing as he will throw out a good poop and then today has a total goose poop. His IM visit is on Friday. His regular vet thinks we should increase the metronidazole for 7 days. This is now the max dose for him. To maybe increase the prednisolone again but wait to see what the metro will do. If he becomes stable then try to reduce the metro dose again. Will need to see what the IM vet thinks as well.

Thank you for the information - I will give it twice a day and see what happens.
It isn't like it is liquid poo most times but it isn't a hard log either.
On the food front...I have added in a 1/4 can of FF Chicken to his RC Recovery and 16% contraband topper. I mixed the FFC and RC really good so he couldn't choose one over the other. Hope that doesn't upset the tummy but vet is thinking we need to add some fiber to his food as the RC doesn't have a lot. I am not even going type how his appy is as I am pleasantly surprised. The sad thing is watching him losing weight while eating well.
I so wish he would eat raw. The YA should be available starting tomorrow as my sister brought it with her - not sure how to introduce that vs. the 16% without tummy upset. I will wait until I at least see a week of consistent good poo.
It is hot here...we are heading into day 3 of 30 above. We also have company coming, Sister from Houston and friends from Ontario, so we will be busy over the next few days.
Happy Hump Day Everyone!
