we've got some pretty ugly numbers going this week. i think punkin's tumor has revved back up - his dose and numbers keep going up. i've increased his dose and now we're back up to 9 units *sigh.* today i noticed his pupils are blown open again. that acro tumor doesn't want to give up, it seems.
he does seem better with the C Diff, however. i got a refill on the prescription and his poop has been normal for about a week now. i'm continuing to give him probiotics with the metronidazole. overall he seems to feel better.
i'm continuing to use R on him to try to knock off these horrible highs, but always aware that i don't want to cause a terrible plummet in numbers either. it's such a balancing game. i pretty much use it post-nadir to prevent the rise, but i used it just now to try to keep him going up any farther. he's bouncing now from blues yesterday.
on a happier note, he continues to be a member of the CPC even though he doesn't really like the merrick's. i mix it with the crappier friskies to get him to eat, and he accepts it.
my daughter is here for a couple of days with her cat and punkin was delighted when anya and jackson were so busy hissing at each other that they ignored their chicken pieces - so punkin slipped in like Stealth Cat and ate it for them. what a good boy! cat_pet_icon

. I will send you lots and more lots of vines for the new dose to work well for Punkin, and for the vet appointment of course. Punkin has seriously hit the jackpot with you as his bean, working so very hard to defend him from the evil tumour monster attacks! Hang in there!!
