Hi Guys. Hugs and prayers going out to many and their kitties today. A reminder that it isn't just our cats we should treasure every day but the humans (the good ones) in our lives also.
Henry has an appointment with Maverick's vet on Friday at 1:30. I thought I found a vet I could work with locally - he accepted my push back on the metacamm. It would save the cats the 45 minute car ride. I'd prefer not to go back to Maverick's vet but I think its best for them. The local vet doesn't carry non adjuvented vaccinations. People in my small city just don't care - not enough demand for them. I called Maverick's vet and they carry non adjuvented. So, I made an appointment for Henry. Not sure if he'll get vaccines because of his sniffles. I think I may push this out. Give him two weeks on lysine and see how he does. He's been doing the prescription food and hasn't had diarrhea since being exclusively on this. But DH was laughing that Henry likes pizza - he was licking the top of a left over pizza and we have diarrhea today. I was just going to start him on lysine. If I start him now, I won't know if its the pizza or the lysine causing the diarrhea. MEN! Guess DH didn't think licks counted when dealing with food sensitivity. Henry is only two but he will need a dental, and xrays on his hind end.
Tested Hef's blood work glucose today. He sleeps a lot in the day, so I wondered if maybe it was diabetes. Came in at a beautiful 62. Still a healthy happy broken diabetic :mrgreen: DH has really bonded with Hef as he sleeps on his side of the bed and licks his hand.

Oh how funny with DH sneaking him some pizza, well, hope it doesn't cause diarrhea though! Mags likes potato chips, and I can't eat them in the house or she does this begging thing. Beautiful bg for Hef. How is Victoria?
They shouldn't lose more than 1-2% a week. So for a week, you could up her calorie levels, if she maintains or gains its most likely not health related and due to amount of food or calories she's getting.
