Copper has been doing good lately. He mainly has been staying in the the blue's or yellows for nadir and low 300's for ps. He does have an occasional red(404) and not sure why. I know one time it was that he got into the dog food that i left out. But not sure of the rest. Maybe too much insulin? Hmmm...

Started a new vial today so went a little lower because i can't be home all day to watch him. I caught him the other day going down a BIG hill at our house to get to the pond. This used to be his favorite spot to hang out at before he started all the FD. I called him and he came running up the hill with no stops on his tiptoes. YEAH!!! His neuropathy is SOoooo much better. His muscles have all come back very strong. He now has the stamina back again to be the mighty hunter he is. He still hunted great even with the neuro. It is so good to see him using his back legs so good and him able to pick up his behind when he poops now. No more messes to clean up on him. He hated that i know the most. I know his numbers are not in the green too much, but he does seem to be healing. I'm happy for that.

We are going camping July 29-Aug5 and have been training a neighbor girl(16) to test and shoot him. She is going to stay here at the house for the week. Her mom and dad are divorcing and she is moving away next week. But she has agreed to come stay at our house for the week to take care of all the animals (except our doggie, annie, which is always with us). She has given 5 tests and shots and done them all just perfect. She is very calm, smart and good with copper. Of course, he is the BESTEST mellow cat too and doesn't mind who tests/shoots him as long as they give him food. It's all about the food. The other day when she was here, i was just sitting back as an observer and watched her do everything and copper was meowing and love biting and licking her ankles to hurry up and feed him. Too cute! He is such a great lover boy cat. Anyway, this sat (14th) my daughter has a performance she is in and we will be gone all afternoon and until late at night. I ask her if she felt ok to give the shot and she said yes. So this is the trial run. I have showed her how to use these message boards. So if you see a post from "Hannah saying help". Please anwser her. I will be in cell contact i think, but you never know. Just in case she needs the extra encouragement, do you all mind that if needed she can post here?

Will let you know how it all goes!

What an awesome "whole cat report", Lori! I know the neuro has bothered you more than anything else through all of this. Reading this, I can "hear" you smile from here!

P.S. Tell Hannah she can post anytime, even if it's just "everything is going great!".
 
Trial run last night went real well with Hannah. She test, fed and shoot with no problem. She txt me the number and i txt back AOK! She did really good!! When i got home, he was very happy and his numbers were good.... 150s.

It was such a relief that i know that i have a competent person to relie on. Just hate she is moving in a couple of weeks for good. BOO hOO!

So looks like that we will be able to go camping for a week. Getting excited about going!

Glad to see everyone's numbers are doing sos well.
 
Way to go Hannah!! Here is your first cheerleader :RAHCAT

Lori, I am so happy you found someone who can give you peace about Copper while you take a vacation. You go...get excited & go enjoy your camping trip!! flip_cat

Never mind Hannah is moving next time you need a pet setter....fly her in, have her stay at your house to take care of Copper. She might love that...she could also see her friends too. Just a idea.

Keep us updated!!
 
SHe is only moving 20min away. I can have her come for long stretches. Her dad still is going to live next to us for a little bit. I will pay her well the week we are gone and maybe she will be interested in future other weeks. She is only a Junior in HS so still will be around the area for another 2yrs before college hits. So still have some benefits, just not right next door. She is so calm when doing the testing and shots. She should start her own business.

THanks for the support all!
