I am copying my post on fb just no to repeat all I explained:

Ok, getting ready for some more stress... Bruno hit 85 at his nadir during the day, I was not going to be home (I had to work on Sunday¡) So I thought a tbs of hc food mixed with his food will be ok. I came home, just at shooting time pm. 308 (I think it was the hc) but then started going down 239 @+2 and 112 @+4, going to greens again, I think... the problem is that he has diarrhea, I assume for the food change in the afternoon. He has gone 3 times poop already, like water, I already gave him some boiled chicken and the medicine (Nifuroxazide) he had last time mixed with the chicken. If he goes lower, I might not be able to control with food. Not sure if I better go to the vet now, we have one 24 hours open 5 minute drive from home. Right now is 1 am, last testing was at midnight. Don't want to panic, he is grooming himself now, but quite angry at me, since I gave some of the medicine by syrnge and he hates that, he had a mess on his rear paws and I tried to clean him, another reason of anger and stress I think he might not even allow me to test him again tonight.

85 is a nice safe number, but I understand how you would have given him the HC since you couldn't be home to test

He's still at a nice safe 112, so you might want to see if you can get him to eat a little of his low carb food and see if it slows down the drop a little and then get a +5

I think we are safe, he ate the chicken without rushing to toilet @+6 he raised a little to 128. And he is eating his low carb food. Hopefully with the medicine he will keep the food.

Now 2am here, I have 4 hours of sleep before waking up to prepare for office. This kitty is killing me! But I think we are safe for today. Will repeat the medicine tomorrow morning just in case something happens while I am at work.

Thanks, Chris for being here for us!

Happy to hear he's eating!

Hopefully the medication will take care of the diarrhea too!
