Tooter, our girl kitty, age 7, diagnosed with a count of 497 on 9-12, no evidence of organ damage or other problems. We are 40 minutes away from home during the week from 7:00 a.m. to about 7:00 p.m. After several Vet trips for testing, we are settled (for now) on I Unit Pro Zinc in the a.m. and 1 Unit in the p.m. And you can see that her shots are not going to be EXACTLY 12 hours apart...but close. In the ball park.
Tooter and I are adjusting well to the shots (with usual Newbee freakouts), but we don't test. Tooter eats the "good " wet food and teeny amounts of "good" dry food (stolen from our other girl kitty who thinks wet food is garbage but we are weaning her over slowly) and TOOTER is doing SUPER. Total change in activity levels and contentment. Obviously MUCH better. Realize her dose is low compared to some I read on this board and not sure we have dosage right yet. But litter looks good (no big pee clumps) as does water bowl and she is a happy kitty, playing and running as she has not done in a long time. Is the 1 Unit dose something we do not have to worry about? I am most interested in what others think about what we are doing...am I taking a risk with Tooter --- giving her a shot in the a.m. and leaving for the day? If her numbers start improving -- will catching that at the Vet when Tooter goes in for testing (now every few weeks, but I would expect that to change to monthly and then every 3 months) be adequate? Our Vet has said she expects Tooter to be an excellent candidate to honeymoon (if I am referring to no shots correctly).
Want to add that this Board has helped me tremendously over the last several weeks as I have lurked, picking up help and encouragement. Thank you all. TOOTERS MOM.
