    I did feel like a kid on Christmas morning, waiting for them to bring her out.

    Yeah! Glad she is home. :bighug::bighug::bighug: Hungry and normal RR is awesome news. Neko's RR came down even more after a few days on her heart meds.

    Neko had a heart meds gelcap consisting of Plavix and the pimomedin, but in powder form. Can't remember now, but I think I had another med in there too so I only had two gelcaps per day. If you go that route, get a number 4 or 5 gelcap. Number 3 is supposed to be Ok for cats, but with the potential for soft tissue growth in the pharynx of acros, smaller is better.

    Thanks. I was already worried about that. I haven't found the carb content for the gel. Might try calling Vetone. Glad to hear about Potassa-chews.
    I can't find the ingredients in her Pimobendan chews, either.

    Potassium has been and remains the most difficult to get into Gizmo. It is known to upset their tummies. I have tried all different types. The pottasa-chews have been the only one that he has eaten on his own. The powders (added to his food) have not worked. Ever. The gel spiked his BG.
