Yesterday

One day soon I hope to post a pic of Tiger and Ray curled up together! They have been nose-to-nose and no fireworks so...
They need each other so much! Tiger lost his brother in December (Leo GA) and Ray lost her whole family. Ray is using the litter box, playing, purring, letting me pet her...taking over the whole household!!! Not to mention our hearts I think she is a girl but I will check again when I can get closer!

Hope this can be a "Safe and Sane" Fourth of July here! Our neighbors like to fire off huge rockets and make a lot of scary noise!
Here's Ray on the bed! Making herself at home

I need a love button.

 

[Katherine&Ruby]

I wanna squish Ray! So cute! Glad Tiger's BGs are coming down a bit.

Adorable! That’s so sad about Tiger and you losing Leo last year. We lost our cat Julius on January 4, 2021, very unexpectedly. Ray is just moving right in! That makes me so happy to hear. I look forward to seeing her/him with Tiger!

Yep. Leo was Tiger's (and Darcy's) twin! He was an extra special cat...more than I realized. He would purr just at the mention of his name, He learned to do high-fives at age 15, he loved his brother very much.
DH husband heard the philosophy lately that if we continue to talk about our lost loved ones they continue to live on (paraphrasing). So lets keep talking about Leo and Darcy and Julius ok?

Yes!

 

[Diane Tyler's Mom GA]

Oh my god so adorable, I'm glad Tiger and Ray are getting along

 

[Kathy and tiger]

Yes!

So tell me about Julius!!!

 

[Kathy and tiger]

Oh my god so adorable, I'm glad Tiger and Ray are getting along

Hope Tyler is feeling better!!!

 

[Olive & Paula]

So cute.

 

[Kathy and tiger]

So I guess we have to go up to 4.5 in the morning...OMG that seems like so much!

He has to be on Animax for a total of 10 days? 2 weeks?

 

[Kathy and tiger]

He has to be on Animax for a total of 10 days? 2 weeks?

Yes 10-14 days. I don't know if we will make it that long!!! Maybe 10. His ears are looking better. It doesn't say how much to put in so I think I will start backing off on the amount I put in.

Looks like your new meter is reading low?

 

[Bandit's Mom]

Did the vet not tell you how much to put?

Yeah, I'm worried the new meter is reading too low. I've ordered strips for the old meter to compare the really low readings in future.

 

[Bandit's Mom]

Btw, did you also put Revolution? In case he did have ear mites?

 

[Kathy and tiger]

No the vet didn't say how much and there isn't really any way to measure it! I just put it in and did a little less.
I have not put Revolution on yet. The ointment should also work for ear mites.

Oh yeah I forgot you used up all the old strips...so you can't do the comparison...

 

[Bandit's Mom]

I have not put Revolution on yet. The ointment should also work for ear mites.

I don't think so, Kathy. Think it's only for infections and not parasites. Anyway, if he still has an issue after the Animax, you can try the Revolution.

Oh yeah I forgot you used up all the old strips...so you can't do the comparison...

Yup. My genius...what can I say!

 

[Kathy and tiger]

if he still has an issue after the Animax, you can try the Revolution.

Yes definitely!

Yup. My genius...what can I say!

LOL
So do you think increase in the AM or wait a day?

 

[Bandit's Mom]

So do you think increase in the AM or wait a day?

Increase. Why wait?

 

[Kathy and tiger]

Increase. Why wait?

Ok. He just hit 199!
You had mentioned earlier that he might come down quickly and we would have to decrease in large amounts. Do you still think that could happen?

 

[Bandit's Mom]

You had mentioned earlier that he might come down quickly and we would have to decrease in large amounts. Do you still think that could happen?

Yup. Possible. Combination of infection resolving and discontinuing the steroids!

 

[Kathy and tiger]

I think that is why I hesitate to increase. This is the first blue we have seen in 4 days

 

[Bandit's Mom]

I know what you mean. I have wondered the same thing. I guess when he improves, we take larger reductions. Similar to what we do when there is a diet change (HC to LC). We have gone from 3U to 1U.

He is not new to blues. But no harm in holding the dose a little longer.

If he was still in pink or high yellow I would definitely increase! But maybe if I start to back off the ointment he will keep coming down.
Think I will be safe to get ready for bed?

 

[Bandit's Mom]

But maybe if I start to back off the ointment he will keep coming down.

Let's get the infection out. So don't worry about the effect of the ointmment for now.

Think I will be safe to get ready for bed?

LOL. Of course. If you can resist the urge to poke him again!

It is hard to resist haha. I don't think we would see green or I would wait up!

Let's get the infection out.

Yes. His ears are looking so much better!
Hope you have a nice one!

We also still have his teeth to deal with...
July 26th.

Oh yes. The tooth resorption. That could also be causing higher numbers!

They have been on the bed together last night and today!!!

 

[Bandit's Mom]

An increase to 4.5U tomorrow morning?
