Yesterday at Tricia's House of Chaos
How about this? A condo from us while it's still today!
Let's see if I can get this finished and posted before the timer on the potatoes goes off...
Guess it wasn't a fur shot last night, after all. And that dosecrease threat paid some dividends. He ALMOST made it to the lagoon today. So the question is, do we increase in the morning or give it one more day to see what he does?
I can't decide if Cinco is trying to get back at me for doing all these mean things to him, or if he is just having trouble making it to the lb. He both peed and pooped on the floor in the bar today.
Thank goodness it wasn't on the carpet, but it was close. I took the Cover Me off of him because it isn't covering the spot on his hind leg, and I think the areas on his front legs are healed enough now that they won't bother him (anti-jinx). The hind leg is bandaged and he hasn't bothered it yet (more anti-jinx). I hope that will correct the lb issues. Collar is still in place, just in case.
Harvey saw the IM today. A new one, since Dr. B graduated and moved on
. We liked Dr. H very much, and he seemed pretty on top of things. He felt that Harvey is doing really well, considering his age and issues. He ran B/W to check his kidney values, did a fructosamine at my request, and a urinalysis. They checked his BP and said it was very good, especially considering where he was. He said that he could do a U/S to check the thickness of the intestines for changes, but it wouldn't affect how they are treating him and would basically just be to satisfy my curiosity. I appreciated his honesty and decided I wasn't that ($$) curious. He said we will know the lymphoma is progressing by his appy, if he starts vomiting or having diarrhea, is lethargic, etc. The fact that he has none of those issues means things are pretty static. So now we just wait for the results to see how his kidneys are doing. Harvey was VERY, very good for the whole thing - we were there for almost 4 hours. He was cooperative with the IM, student, and technician and even settled down somewhat in the car. He was VERY happy to get home, though. His appy has been at full strength all day, despite the trauma.
Not so Miss Minka. She would not eat a bite of anything this morning, which really added to my stress level, as I did not have time to open umpteen cans and try to coax her to eat. I needed to get her pills into her before I left, as I figured I'd be gone all day. So I syringed 9 ccs and gave her the meds. I left two plates of cat food and a bowl of baby food for her. She didn't touch any of it. Minka has had only a small amount of cat food so far tonight, despite the Cerenia and Cypro I gave her on my way out the door. I will be syringing more if she doesn't eat more this evening. *SIGH*
Sasha was also not excited about eating, but that fits her recent pattern, so I wasn't concerned. She had polished off 80% of her breakfast and the little bowl of baby food I left her when I got back. She has since been eating just fine.
Oops! There's the timer! Thanks to all who visited us this morning. I don't have any appointments in the next two days, so I hope to catch up on what's happening with everyone.
Sending healing vines to all in need and hugs to all their beans, especially Sienne & Gabby, Marilyn & Polly, Deborah & Shasta, Carla & her civvie Baby, Wendy & civvie Theo, and Marje & Gracie.
Prayers continue for Amy's DF, Lyresa's DF and DH, Marje's DM, Chris' DM, Molly's DM, and Elise's DM.

I couldn't call her back because it showed as a "private number" on my phone, and the general number I have for her wouldn't have worked as it was after hours. She's going to call again in the morning (and will no doubt wake me on the first morning I get to sleep in a little), so I can get more details then. 
!! I wish I had ideas about why he has some funky cycles, but unfortunately I think I have to fall back on the standard "he's a cat!". Hopefully someone who is better at reading a SS can see a pattern for you.
