7/19 Tip AMPS(457) +6(234) PMPS(476) flea bite scratch help

[Cindy & Pets]

7/18 condo

AMPS - 457
+6 - 234
PMPS - 476

I really need to get more numbers for the day-time cycles. She's always having what seems to be big drops, and I want to know how long she's staying in the yellow. I'll probably do another curve real soon.

+2 is a good one to get. If she's lower than PS, you can give her some food to try to flatten the cycle. It's nice to see those yellows. Now to see some more blues. Tip, hint, hint.

Yeah, it's just as of late, I've been forgetting that during the day! Especially today when friends came over kind of late and stayed until 3:30am. :-| So I just crawled back to bed to get more sleep today. Slept 'till noon.

So while I was testing Tips bG, I decided to check her general wellness. Well, still battling fleas, a lb overweight(I'm cutting back a little on food to get her to lose that), and she has marks on her head from itching at the fleas. Any suggestions on caring for those until I can get her to the vet? They're closed today, so I can't call and set up an appointment. I checked and it doesn't look like any of them are infected, but the ones on her chin are starting to look like they're trying. I just used gauze and warm water to wash them.

Have you seen fleas on her chin? Some cats can get chin acne from using plastic bowls; metal, glass, or ceramic are the way to go if that is so. Chin acne can get infected too. A compress of warm water is a good idea. If you have a gentle antibiotic soap you can add that to the water.

Only a few times. I use metal bowls, so I don't think that caused it, especially since the ones on her chin are in a row, right down the middle. Is there any way to keep her from scratching?
