I paid a tech to come check his blood pressure at home in January, and it was fine. So no issues there.
He has four different foods in two different locations available 24/7 (I'm trying desperately to put weight on Shenandoah in whatever ways I can...
That sounds quite similar! And yeah, it is a sort of fun little quirk - if I just knew he wasn't feeling stressed by it, but it sounds to me like...
He's my civvie, so has never had an issue with high BG. I haven't checked it recently, but do on occasion and it's always been normal. Plus it's...
I think any of his senses are suspect at this point. He does have some hearing, not sure if it's as good as it's been. And he clearly can see some,...
Usually open, but I close them on really cold days because they seem to give a little buffer that keeps the heat in better. I haven't really noticed...
I think he comes and goes during the night. He is definitely near me in the mornings, usually wrapped around the top of my head. Often he will climb...
It's certainly worth giving a try. My feeling is that if the nightlight isn't helping, the overhead probably won't. I think he partially doesn't like...
My civvie (2 years younger than Shenandoah) has been yowling and running around like wild-cat every night. Overall the behavior has probably lasted...
It's really hard with our old ones, and sometimes takes a lot of experimenting. For the moment I've found a balance with Shenandoah (at 18) with FFC...
It's very overwhelming at first. We've all been there, and overwhelmed for our own reasons. But slow down, take it one step at a time. First, things...
CKD is scary, especially when it's on top of diabetes (or in my case, diabetic remission). The single most important thing is that Tempest eats. What...
She's mostly doing very well. She got her bandage off today and is thrilled about that (she hated that thing). Vet said her foot is healing up really...
Haha, I know. That picture was when she first got home, so a lot of that is the remnants of the anesthesia, and the eyes are the buprenorphine. But...
She's doing well! Thanks for asking after her :) At first she had the hardest time figuring out how to walk in the bandage and cone. I took the cone...
My baby is home! She is very unhappy. She has already pulled her e-collar off. And she doesn't yet believe she can walk on her bandaged arm. But...
She's awake! They're keeping her a bit longer for observation, will call me a bit later to come get her. But for now, she's awake and they say she...
The toe is done. Xrays on her teeth show she needs 5 extractions, but fortunately no canines. They said she's doing well under anesthesia so far.
Well, she should be just getting induced right about now. They were going to start prep 20 minutes ago. Now I just pace the house for the next...
Shenandoah was getting it every 4 weeks, and there was a HUGE difference between her first few days after a dose and her last few days before the...
