This is just a quick hello Lantus Land! I haven't updated Bob's spreadsheet because life has been hell. Car was in the shop for the 3rd time in 2 months - if I haven't mentioned before, don't ever buy a Volkswagen if you want a reliable car. I've spent more in repairs in 2 1/2 years than the car is worth. And, of course, today is the corporate deadline for tax returns so it's going to be crazy. I will get caught up on my ss and condo visits this weekend!!!
Bob's numbers all of a sudden shot up into the 500's yesterday morning for no particular reason. He was over 500 at AMPS and PMPS and at 447 this morning. I could tell he didn't feel good and was swallowing hard a lot of the day. Not eating much. I thought he may be nauseated so gave him 1/4 of a Pepcid. He woke me up this morning doing the hairball thing - not hacking one up, but the other thing where they do that grunting for a few minutes, swallow hard and then go on their merry way. Then he was swallowing really hard and purring super loud and making weird noises like he was extremely distressed. Thought I was going to have to run with him to the emergency vet - scared the crap out of me. He did this a couple of months ago and it seems like he's got a hairball stuck in his throat or something. I gave him some coconut oil and that seemed to help. He did eat breakfast and seemed to feel better when I left for work. I haven't been giving him the coconut oil because it stresses him a little and I just got lazy! That won't happen again. I really hope it's as simple as a hairball and nothing else.
Other than that, he's been eating good and playful and sticking around the high 200's! Is it possible these really high numbers are from being uncomfortable?
I hope everyone has a really good day! Prayers to all sick and recovering kitties!
