Yesterday's
*Sigh*
Well, hindsight is 20/20. I wish now that I had given the 8u reduced dose since he decided to almost reach for red today... Good think he was not being overly ambitious. The good thing about the skip, though, is that now I can rest assured that the depot is basically reset. I hope, anyways.
Despite all of yesterday's excitement, he seems to be doing pretty well. His bladder is bigger today, but I expected that. He will not really want to move in really high numbers and especially in anything lower than a 70. I want to aim for 80-120. That is my goal, but seems he has a mind of his own at this point.
I want to look at incorporating some other proteins in his rotation. Probably a red meat and probably beef. I need it lower phos and the pork is one of the higher phos that RadCat offers, but he has been doing so fantastically well on it. His phos levels were fine, though, so I am not so sure this is as much as a worry as keeping his digestive tract going good and thus, him feeling good. He pees more frequently when he is feeling better..
We are going to start the green lipped muscles on the morrow and I sure hope they help him have less pain. After all that I have read, I feel like there is some real value to them. I am curious to see if they will improve upon his mobility. Right now, everything is geared towards this bladder, which seems to be affected by the whole body. ie. if he feels cruddy, he won't pee - if he is constipated he can't pee - and on and on...
Great days to all the beans and kittehs!
