I would also ask your vet about possibly giving Sarah some sub-q fluids under her skin to help with her hydration as you try to find out what is...
Thank you all for your wonderful thoughts for my sweet Jasper. It's still very hard to realize that he is really gone - I keep calling for my...
I posted here recently about possibly getting a feeding tube for my FD (remission) kitty Jasper when he and my civvie cat came down with a mysterious...
I just wanted to give an update on Jasper and Alfie. There is some great news and some not so good news. Jasper seems to have fully recovered. He...
I live about an hour away from K-State and I tried to get my newly diagnosed stage 2 CKD civvie enrolled, but he was excluded because he has asthma...
I've tried to feed Jasper 3 different foods this morning and he wasn't interested in any of them - sniffed and then walk away. I heated up a little...
Thank you @Sharon14 and @Kris & Teasel. I will be talking with both my regular vet and the student vet today, so I will check with them. I still...
I sometimes use the pads when testing my cat because he tolerates it better than the ear. I think it depends on the cat's personality. Some cats do...
Thank you so much for your suggestions, @Kris & Teasel. I tried some chicken baby food, but it was refused. Jasper did take a liking to one of the...
No, I haven't. I'll pick some up and try that. I think I will also try some Fancy Feast to see if he will eat that. He's never had it before, but...

Thank you @Sharon14 and @Kris & Teasel for your help! Jasper seems to be feeling a bit better again this morning, although mornings are typically...

Thank you so much, Yong! And, thank you for taking the time to look over Jasper's spreadsheet and commenting. The Young Again food has really made...
Aw, thank you so much!:) Jasper had a great reading this morning: 69! He just surfed along after last night's small dose in the mid-60's until he...
Yeah, I just kept a close eye on him when he got the 54. The 54 was from his paw (to give his ears a rest) and those tend to be ever so slightly...
@Djamila , do you think that was close to an ideal AM cycle or do you think it skirted too close to being low at the +2 mark? I liked his numbers...
