We migrated to the Lantus Tight Regulation board. I don't know how many hang out there so I thought I would post an update for those of you who were keeping up with him earlier in this process.
We have had a few ups and downs, pun intended, but he is seeing continual progress. He hasn't been HI >600 since we switched him. He still has a long way to go to get back from where he was. He is still a little dehydrated and needs to gain weight. When we started caring for him, he was on his deathbed though. He had been losing hair (?) and his ears were bald. He is getting fluffy and he has fur on his ears now. lol. He is a totally different cat, in personality, than he was last week. Instead of being that meek, humble, sick, kitty, he is happy, active, and animated. His eyes are bright and he is giving himself baths several times a day. He does not act like he is starving all the time, he isn't hovering over the water bowl, and his box isn't saturated in the morning. We still need to bring those numbers down, but wow... Frank has done a 180. The suggestion was to put him down, and I understand why. He was really bad off. I am glad we didn't though.
I can't thank everyone here enough for sticking with us during these beginning times and guiding us through the rough patches. Frank and I are both doing better, and really, if I had not found this board, I probably would have had him put down last week, thinking he was not only going to get worse, but he was suffering. Give yourselves a big pat on the back. What you guys do here has immeasurable value. So... thank you, from Frank and Frank's family.
