Good Morning on a rainy Monday, Everyone,

The worst of the rain is over, I hope. It sure is wet outside! I think we got about 4 inches. The rain didn't bother Stu this morning: he went out in it and camped under the car until he saw the chipmunk, and then he was on the chase. (chip-chip got away). Methimazole successfully taken in a little butter; two installments of breakfast eaten(1/2 Cowboy Cookout, 1/2 By Nature 95% Turkey & Turkey Liver, which I just discovered is too high in phosphorus for Stu; bummer, because he really likes it and I have 3 cases of it still); litterbox contributions made (several times); Belle Mouse played with. All in all a good morning so far.
Hope everyone has a good Monday,
Back later

Ella & Stu

Hey Stu! Guess what! I went scuba diving last night - in the dark! It was kinda scary, and my bean had this funny look on her face: kind of a combo of :shock: and @-) But it's all good, I get less juice now, but my bean worries about that too. what is with them huh? always with the nailbite_smile and worries and stuff. Hey - did you get that chipmunk? We have squirrels here, and I love to have stare downs with them - ya know nose to nose until someone flinches. Hey- wanna hang out some today? See you! ~~ Mannie

Hi Ella - YAY a yellow start for Stu, no pinks! Have a good one today - glad to hear that the rains have let up.
 
Re: 8/23 Stu AMPS 289, +2 230

hope the rain subsides a bit not that it bothers Stu, he's a dedicated chipmunk hunter!
Have a lovely Monday

Re: 8/23 Stu AMPS 289, +2 230, +4 86

Hi again, Big drop at +4 (86--green!), so I fed a teaspoon of 12% Merrick mixed with the LC Turkey & Turkey liver. I hope I just slow the surf down by doing this, rather than cutting the surf short.

Nadir time: 55 at +5.75!! I fed a teasp. of 12% Merrick along with lunch of 5% Merrick Cowboy Cookout. Don't want Stu to go any lower today, but would like him to stay in the higher greens for a while.
All the kitties are surfing green. Whee!

Great numbers for Stu today, Ella. I'm glad you were home to catch them. And I'm glad you didn't have any damage from the rain.

Hi Ella,
which food are you suggesting is too high in phos? Nature or cowboy cookout? Cowboy cookout is going to be one of the best commercial combinations you will find (low carb/phos/grain free). I think one of the Evo's is a bit lower in phos. BUT, rumor has it the phos is actually much higher than claimed. I will have to dig out the post I glanced at a few months back on another list. Wellness turkey would be a top choice for that low carb/phos combo, as would the chicken and I believe beef/chicken as well. I was pleasantly surprised that Latte actually favored the foods (when she ate) which were some of the best combos for multiple health issues. Does stu like any I mentioned?

Also, dont forget IF phos becomes a big issue, you just add binder to anything and feed what he likes! Until those numbers are revealed, just do the best you can. There is really no perfect match out there.

Glad to see you feeling a little better about all this. I know it is quite overwhelming.
(((((ella))))) (((((stu))))))
 
Thanks, Carolyn. The By Nature 95% Turkey & Turkey Liver is higher in phosphorus than any of the other foods Stu likes (and, of course, it's his favorite food!). He just discovered Cowboy Cookout and likes it (but didn't like it tonight--the can had a different consistency than the other cans of it he's had). It is pretty low in phos. He used to like EVO 95% Chicken & Turkey (and apparently it is low in phos.), but he grew tired of it. He has just started on Wellness Chicken and Wellness Turkey again (after a number of years) and seems to like them (they are pretty low in phos. according to the new CRF food charts). That's the current repertoire! Wednesday we go for the blood and urine screenings and the results will be sent to Dr. Peterson at Hypurrcat. If, after reviewing Stu's values, Dr. P. concludes that he would be a candidate for the I-131 radioiodine treatment, we are going to do it. Everything will depend on the degree of CRF Stu has (or might have, after treatment). Both Edward and I feel that if one of Stu's conditions (hyperthyroidism) can actually be cured, then we will only have to deal with the other two!!!
Thanks for visiting Stu's condo and for keeping your eye on him. And thanks for being such a good friend. We think of you often and hope that you are doing OK.
Hugs,

Ella & Stu
