Well, we're either moving somewhat backwards or he hasn't recovered yet.
He wouldn't eat his 5:45 AM meal again, so I had to put his gabapentin and ondansetron in a bit of the 12% food. He did eat that, but it took him another 2+ hours or so to eat his breakfast. My partner usually gives him his earliest meal since he's up already, but said they couldn't find Xander anywhere until about 5:45-6. They think he must have felt bad enough to be hiding behind the couch, unless he was just cuddled in a particularly dark corner of the bed and wasn't visible.
I was typing this up expecting to have to ask again if I could shoot this morning, but he did finally eat, thankfully. Makes me nervous to do the full injection when he's in the blues while inconsistently eating, though. Should I still shoot the full dose?
At about 2 AM he woke me up standing on my chest and meowing. I'm not sure if he was hungry (he hadn't touched the food I left him at midnight and he knew it was there) or bored or what. But he had the "rapidly declining" icon and was in the lower blues (woohoo!) so I added 2 tsp of his 12% to that and gave it to him, and which point he ate both. Seems like it kept him fairly steady in that range for the rest of the cycle.
This morning he also had a very soft, particularly stinky poop that also implied not feeling well. I did notice that he seemed better up until I gave him Chopped Grill Feast as his late night food (and that's what he ate after he woke me up), so maybe that didn't agree with him.
Wondering if maybe I should give him 4 mg of the ondansetron at 1 (which will have been 6 hours after the first dose). I plan to try to give him some Mirataz but he hates it for some reason and will hide for hours, so I have to be careful when I do it.
I would have posted this earlier but I was too busy trying to get him to eat something, etc.
ETA 10:14 AM: Stalling now. We were supposed to shoot at 10:15
ETA 10:43 AM: Shot the full dose at about 10:35. It's already past the 2 hours late we already were and he was at least slowly rising, so I took the chance. I also managed to get some Mirataz on him (he even ran away from a Churu for that. How is that worse than a frickin' injection?) I dunno how long it takes for that to kick in, but hopefully that'll help. As of about 10 minutes post-injection he's risen all the way to 247, so I think we'll be fine. He's now very angry at me and is sitting far away and doesn't want to look at me.
