8/31 Simon PMPS 194 +4.5 115

[Georgia and Simon (GA)]

Please keep Melissa and Tarragon in your thoughts and prayers today and all the other kitties that are sick and need our prayers.

I upped Simon's dose back to a regular 1.0 unit since he has not had any green numbers in 2 days. We'll see what happens. Scratching was not too bad yesterday and he will be on the anti-histimine for another few days. Of course, if it is a staph infection like Simon's vet thinks, then I don't think he will get better once I stop the anti-histimine. Another call to the vet today to see why he thinks it is staph since he didn't do any type of test. Wish me luck!

Other than the scratching issue and the higher bg's, Simon is terrific this morning. Lazing around and eating well. Funny thing: I looked outside this morning and saw Simon roaming around the yard. I though DH had accidentally let him out. I started calling him and telling him to get inside "right this minute". Turned out it was Simon's "mini-me"! I have not seen the cat that looks like Simon in a long time, but there he was. I guess he was surprised that I kept calling him Simon. Meanwhile, Simon was upstairs lying on his "testing blanket".

Have a good day, everyone!

I love that Simon has a mini-me too. That is the coolest.

Ask your vet if there is a way to determine if its staph AND what the sensitivity is. Convenia might not even hit it. So she'd have to do a culture/sensitivity.

Morning! How great that Simon has a mini me. I have done that too many times to count: mistaken another kitty for one of my own... one feels so silly. I even brought one of them in the house once, gave this poor kitty the lecture only to look down and see my own at my feet. :lol: :lol:

I hope your vet can determine if Simon has a staph infection or not. Good luck! Nice though to read today that he is scratching less.

Re: 8/31 Simon PMPS 194

Simon's bg seems to be getting higher. I'm wondering if the anti-histimine could play a part in that. Simon always seems to be very sensitive to medication. I made an appointment for Simon to see the vet but it won't be for a few weeks. simon's regular vet is on vacation. I'm going to ask if he will do a culture to rule out staph. Has anyone ever had that done? Is it an expensive test? I'm assuming I won't know anything for a week or two later since it is a culture?
