Thank you everyone for your kind thoughts. They are a comfort.
We lost Xuxu last Monday. The crash was too deep, I couldn't overcome it in time. He'd been stable for about 3 weeks but then something changed...
Xuxu has gained .75 pound since starting the steroid! YEAH!!! We are both very happy!
Thanks, I'll look it up.
He is incredible, I'm just along for the ride. In 25 years of breeding cats, I definitely saw some ill ones that had no will to live and others that...
Xuxu has been happy for the last week. But this morning I could see that he hadn't eaten in the night. He wasn't even interested in eating his Iams...
His ear is nearly back to normal. We cut his steroid dosage in half so hopefully he won't get another infection. I also cut back on his Iams. He...
I hadn't thought of that, I don't need it to bead up, he bleeds well. But it would provide a protective layer. I'll do that in the future. Doxy is...
Prednisolone, I guess it doesn't have to be converted in the body. He is ravenous. But I've run into the drawback. Came home tonight and his...
Xuxu is very happy since I started allowing him the Iams again. Wouldn't it be nice if it was so simple to make everyone happy? I put it down to...
I give in. I've never seen an addiction this strong, if addiction is what it is. Do you ever lose your love of ice cream, even if you aren't allowed...
Xuxu seems better this morning. He ketones weren't going below 40, and it was as if the PZI wasn't working for a bit. I had put some in a smaller...
Xuxu hadn't really eaten much since yesterday morning, so I was watching him carefully. At 2 am I was still awake and heard him peeing, so rushed...
Oh, and if you look at his SS, either I'm not really getting insulin in him the last couple of days or he's not reacting as well or I did give him a...
We got the test results back and no real new information. The fPLI says he has pancreatitis again, and the TLI says he doesn't have EPI ( think I...
Thanks, but the Mercola from Amazon is supposed to be here tomorrow. I have Prime shipping. We have been giving him B12 about every month for 3-4...
Thanks so much everyone, especially BJ for all the links. I'll order the Dr. Mercola stuff tonight. I hope it's as easy as giving the enzymes. My...
For a couple of weeks, Xuxu has had about an 18 hr curve on PZI and has been feeling pretty well. But I ran out of Zithomax for 2 days and his URI...
Thanks Bob, I didn't know that about ketones. I thought it was just lack of insulin. He was getting his URI back again but the clavamox I restarted...
