Good Morning World! Welcome to our NOISY home! Yesterday

KT
AMBG 256

Are we REALLY working toward OTJ? That's the first time I've really typed those initials - afraid I'll jinx it! We're now on a full Day 2 of nothing, that bg IS lower than last night's of 364. He's eating wonderfully - it's truly a joy to watch him happily eat! 4 of 5 p's in place, hadn't played much be he doesn't play much anymore anyway. He did chase and bat the rope a couple of times last night so guess we'll call that 'play'.

My reminder:
Marje and Gracie said:
Remember this ;-)
withhold insulin immediately... regardless of the numbers you're seeing. it's possible KT is telling you he's done with insulin and is simply stuck in a vicious circle of dropping and bouncing. trust me, it happens. when withholding insulin you'll want to withhold for a minimum of 3 days (6 cycles) to allow the bounce to clear and the insulin depot to deplete. fyi: not too long ago we saw a cat take around 5 days to clear a bounce before going otj. trust your gut and use what you know about KT to help in making decisions.

Yep, Marje - you're right, I jumped too quick. :oops: ohmygod_smile When I saw them just keep going up and up and even up this morning after I knew he didn't eat, I squished him. Now I'll start over counting... :sad:

DAKOTA
AMPS 424

My RockDoc has me confused...I feel like we're giving too much insulin but I can't prove it. His P's are all in place, no ketones but leaky eye and sleeping a lot. 3 more days of ab's, they taste SO awful, I hate giving it to him but we couldn't get the clindamycin pills without a $50 vet visit so we're using the liquid. He forgives me quickly - he's such a big Angel kitty.

Now for the other topic in our subject line! There was a young pup at our vet's office that needed foster quickly until she can be spayed then possibly travel to her new home. She's about 4 months old, a wirey haired terrier mixed with just plain cute. She's got legs a mile long and a smile even bigger but only weighs about 2 pounds! She's FULL of energy and doesn't like to be alone. She was an owner surrender - no idea why. Someone fostered her for 1 night - she whined and barked all night, they returned her yesterday morning...I picked her up yesterday afternoon. We will NOT be keeping her, just getting to love on her for a week or two. I put her in the small crate in Sassy and Sasha's room last night, she slept until 6:30 this morning when she needed to go potty. This picture doesn't do her 'cuteness' justice (clickable thumbnail) - meet 'Sissy' (luckily owner DID leave her with a name):



Lots of thoughts and prayers for Melanie losing Racci and for Terri and Chicken Little. Amy and her dad too - I know I'm missing some.

BIG HUGS to all that visit today!!!

What an exciting day, Lyresa! Sissy couldn't have a better foster mom.

I hope Dakota will get rid of whatever is bothering him and that he'll be back in better numbers soon.

Hugs and scritches,

Ella & Rusty
