08/01 Shmee AMPS 155, +7 170, PMPS 263, echo normal

Previous condo

Of course the day we go to the vet is the day he is going to come down. I swear vet visits always seem to fall on the third day for us (this time after the NS), which is when the juice starts to work its magic for him. And I couldn't feed him the full meal since I need him to eat at +2 for the gaba… I think I will put a little HC gravy in the +2 for safety today.

Ohhhh Chris I will be thinking of you today, hugs your way ​

 

Sending vines your way today and hope the echo goes well

 

Best Of Luck at the vet today.
I am sending vines that Shmee and Chris' echoes go well and are not too scary.

 

He ate the Gaba at +2 and its +3.5 now. I just fed him his freeze dried minnow treats with 4 drops of RR because the last time at the vet really scared both of us so I wanted to be sure he was sleepy. He is pretty much in la-la land already, and I am freaking myself out thinking I might have given him too much. I hope the combination of the Gaba and the RR are ok. I know a few of you have said it will be so I have to really try and calm myself down but I hate seeing him like this...… but at the same time it's good for the echo. How do I know if I gave him too much? Trying not to overanalyze... leaving for the vet in 45 minutes. Ugh I can barely get through this so I am really going to be freaking out in NYC.

 

and...… now he just ran for the birds at the window. Haha so he's not all that into la-la land as I thought. He REALLY loves those birds....

 

Sending prayers for a good echo.

 

Add me to the list of well-wishers!!!

Sending vines for calm journey and boring echo.

 

We are home sorry for the late update I have a horrible headache and we both needed a nap after that stressful visit. He did not need the sedative. After a few breaks and holding him down, he "sat still" for the entire 30 minutes which we could not believe. I started crying in the last ten minutes. I tried my best to hold It together but he really did not want to be held down I felt so terrible for him. But its all over now!

 

So glad that Shmee and you are home and that the echo went well. Shmee must have realized how important it was to stay still. Good kitty!
Have a restful evening as you unwind.

Hugs and scritches

 

See, your home, Shmee is good and you can have that glass of wine (or whatever you calming juice is).

 

GREAT idea. I am in no mood to cook dinner, I am thinking Panera Bread and a glass of Malbec with my new Netflix show that I love (Anne with an E, so good!).

 

So happy you two are done with your day!!!!

 

So glad it's done and you have great dinner plans!

It's great you could be there for the echo. I was never allowed to be - which is probably one of the reasons a sedative was needed. When do you get the results?

 

Anne of Green Gables?

 

The results already came back, his heart is normal

Yes! My best friend told me it used to be a show? I have not seen the old one but Netflix re-made it and I love it so much.

Thank you for checking up on us Jill are you and Jade doing well?

 

I don't know what I would do without this group. I know you all have probably heard it so many times, but you all are truly a god-send. I have not done well all day, I have so much anxiety over this whole situation, I feel jittery. You all have helped so much.

 

Yay for good results!

 

That's fantastic!!! Such good news!!!

 

Side note - his PMPS 263 was very odd. Super high but if it was a bounce there was nothing to cause it. Kind of nervous he may have suddenly dropped low after +7... although I dont think a bounce would be that fast. I'm setting an alarm for +9 tonight out of curiosity.

Question - wondering if I should increase him tomorrow, thoughts?
@Wendy&Neko if you log on tonight curious what you think?

 

Stress can do crazy things to the BG. I had a civie that was over 220 at the vet, and 53 at home the next day. However, having said that, I'd vote for an increase to 4.25 units. The greens you initially saw on 4.0 units were likely due to either the 4.75 or 4.5 unit dose.

And by the way, AWESOME news on the echo results.

 

Of course! And so far, so good. And yaaaaa! Great news on the heart results!!

 

That is great news "echo is normal". Now just a small trip and a procedure ahead!

 

Such wonderful news!

 

So glad for your good news!

 

Normal! What a great word!
