Yesterday: Allen's ultrasound results
Good morning!
AMPS 166 shooting .75u
Well the other night I thought that maybe he was starting to work the juice. But it appears not and I'm getting really tired of seeing these blues especially when he doesn't see green at all during the cycle. So will increase tomorrow morning. Not sure that I'll go to 1u because he did have some lovely greens a couple of days ago. Perhaps he received just a titch more juice that night so I might try fattening up the .75.
Boomer ate all of his +3 (I make sure he does before I go to bed), he left a wee bit of his +6 but once again didn't touch his +9. I'll make the +3 and +6 a bit smaller tonight and hopefully he'll be hungry at +9.
Allen's ultrasound showed no masses, no tumours, no kidney stones. So he has idiopathic hypercalcemia......a high calcium level that can't be explained. Dr Larry says we still have to treat the high calcium level and that there is a drug called Fosomax which is given once a week. But he wants to retest first to make sure calcium is still high. When I asked him if a high calcium level is something that "comes and goes" he indicated no, not usually. So what I have suggested is to put Allen on the meds for a month and then retest the calcium. But I'm also wondering if we should just try changing Allen's diet then retesting in a month. Interested to find out what others here with hypercalcemic kitties have fed! Is Fancy Feast an option because Allen really likes it! And unfortunately I'll need a dry food option too.
DH's brother's triple bypass was a success; Dr said it went really well. DH was able to see him yesterday but his brother had not woke up yet. Not sure whether DH will go up today; we have my daughter's bday dinner happening.
