@Suzanne & Darcy hello hope you and your kitties are doing well! I’m pretty disappointed Biddy’s numbers aren’t looking much better. What are your thoughts?

Hi there. That Biddy! He does well on an increase and then he starts creeping up. You could try increasing to 8 to see if you can get some green. How is it going with the Zobaline. I know Biddy has only been talking it for a little over ten days, but I am hoping for an improvement.

He’s taking the Zobaline great which is not a surprise as he will eat anything. Haven’t noticed much yet but hopefully with time.

@Suzanne & Darcy low PMPS. Got 88 initially and then got 79 when I rechecked.

Have you retested recently?

I’m sorry I didn’t update my spreadsheet, I gave 7.5 I couldn’t stall any longer

Okay good. That is what I would have done too!

Oh good! I was worried maybe even that was too much but he’s been running so much higher than normal lately

I gave him 7.5 again this morning. Not sure what to do going forward. I have to work today but will be home all night and tomorrow.

A good blue AMPS this morning too! I hope that means green today

Good old Biddy will come through for is today! Will you come home and check on him? How is his sister doing?

I am glad that you shot 7.5 units this morning. Maybe Biddy just needed a little bump for a couple of cycles to get him out of the doldrums. Anyway, I would wait and see for the next few cycles how the 7.5 units goes, and if he starts creeping back up in numbers, you could try a 7.75 dose to just tweak the dose a little — or it may be necessary to go to 8 — but you could do one before you did the other, what do you think?

His sister is much better now thank you! I will be home to check on him but not until +7. I think I’d feel more comfortable trying 7.75 if 7.5 doesn’t work out.

@Suzanne & Darcy should I wait a full week before trying 7.75? I only gave him one 8 unit dose but 7.5 just really doesn’t seem to be doing much.
Suzanne & Darcy

No. You can increase any time you want to. He has had many cycles of 7.5 to show us what that dose does — about 17 days.

I will try 7.75 this weekend. Took him with me to work today. Physical exam was normal and they did X-rays which were also normal so definitely thinking neuropathy. We’re going to discontinue Solensia since it is not suitable for cats with neurological disorders. He won’t take Dasuquin and YuMove gave him diarrhea. Do you think Cosequin is ok for him to try?

What about Adequan injections? I do these. I do not know of any reason why Cosequin would be harmful.

And he takes methylcobalamin for neuropathy? It’s not in your signature, bit I believe you started it. I can check your spreadsheet for the date.

Yes, I need to update my signature. He started taking Zobaline on 2/10. I hadn’t thought of Adequan. I am worried giving IM injections could cause some distrust from Biddy. He doesn’t know he gets insulin lol.
