I talked to Murphy's vet today, she's so wonderful, she doesn't want me changing her diet, whatsoever, until further notice. And, she can stay on the Purina OM rather than adjust a dietary change that might affect her adversely. Matter of fact, before Purina came out with DM, OM was used for diabetic felines.
On another note, I think I was really screwing up the ear testing thingy. I printed out some information on this website, wow, what a vast amount of information -- and, I think it hurts her too much to prick the outer edge of her ear vein, so we are doing the top of the ear, and tonight, it worked! 290 b/f din-din. I'll check in another hour before I go to bed, but she appears to be doing fine. I'm guessing, according to her vet, that this is just going to take some adjusting, and I have to stop stressing out. The ear thing was driving me crazy and I was getting so upset, and I kept trying, and well, today, I am down to about 10 OTU strips and I just bought them on Saturday! Poor girl, I was just messing with her little ears so much, and it hurt her, I know.
Then, she was flinching on the injection sites, so my vet told me to give at the scruff of her neck, and she didn't feel a thing.
So, a little progress today, and the PLI numbers have went down dramatically, which is a really good thing.
This is way different than feline asthma. I can hear that, with this, well, this take a totally different spin on things. She's a very patient little baby girl, and I'm so proud of her for all the beatings she takes with meds, injections, etc. I just love her and want to save her and hope she will be a happy kitty once again, which I haven't seen in a long time.
Does anyone have information on B12 methylcobolomin? Her neuropathy is still bothering her, and we started B12 injections, but I know I take it, and I have neuropathy from a damaged thoracic nerve from surgery last year, and it truly does help. If so, is there any significant research on this?
So, tonight -- well I feel better, and I think she does too. Amazing how they pick up on our stress and feelings.
