Back from UCD - it's been a long day. Cinco was green when we left and gave me a nice PMPS after we got home. He had a full blood panel done, and everything looked great. The Oncologist said his BG was in "normal numbers". I forgot to ask exactly what it was, and the discharge notes didn't say. I'll have to get a copy of his labs when I'm there next week. She felt that I was doing everything right about the hot spots. They cleaned up the newer one and shaved the hair around it, but felt the older one was healing well enough. She said I could make an appointment with dermatology if I wanted to try to figure out what was causing them. I do and I did. The soonest they could get us in is next Tuesday at 8:45 am!
This will be a challenge for me, but I'd have had to wait another week for an appointment later in the day than that and I think they should see it while it's still going on. Meanwhile, the aloe vera spray came, so I'll be spritzing him with that. Cinco peed in the carrier on the way there and complained the entire drive.
I had put him in the litter box before we left, but he did not take that opportunity to go.
Sasha's chest x ray looked good - no changes since the last one and no sign of cancer!
She was moving around fine on her front leg while she was there, of course, but the Oncologist gave me some Tramadol to give her if she appears to be having trouble. Overall, she was very pleased with how Sasha is doing and she was the Belle of the Ball, as usual. She even got to see Dr. P, her Radiation Oncologist, who never fails to ask about her when I'm there with one of the other cats. Sasha peed in the carrier on the way home.
Minka was still not eating this morning. I managed to get a little cat food and some baby food down her before I left. When I came home, I didn't realize she'd had diarrhea again (no doubt from all that baby food yesterday), and I stepped in some!
Tracked it all over the carpet in the Family room. 
Just lovely. Needless to say, she got a couple of gelcaps of Forti Flora. She's eating small bites of her dinner, every few minutes (the plate has to be held up to her face). This p-titis thing does not want to go away. I'm going to send her Oncologist an e-mail if she isn't better tomorrow (we saw a different one today). Maybe she should be seen by IM, although I'm not sure what else they could do that we aren't already doing.
Harvey again didn't like this morning's entree, and I was in a hurry, so he got some Fancy Feast, much to his delight. He ate every bit I gave him, of course. He did eat all his dinner in a hurry - no doubt hungry because Mama wasn't home to give him snacks all day.
Thanks to Carla, Amy, Elise, Bron, Molly, and Rhonda for checking out my late, late condo from last night.
@Shiloh & Rhonda, I actually have one of those inflatable collars. Cinco is a big cat, so I had to get the size for a small dog, and it's just too bulkyand heavy for him. He has enough trouble keeping his head up with the plastic one on!
@MollynSkooter, DH is going to do the cutting on the improvised litter box. There's no way my poor hands could manage it. I just have to get him moving on it! Maybe if I make him clean up the mess Cinco makes?
@tiffmaxee, I'm already giving Minka the max dose for Ondansetron - 4mg per day. I keep forgetting to ask about the injectables. Yes, I'm giving the Cypro twice a day when it's needed. It doesn't seem to help when she's having a really bad day.
I offered her some goat's milk tonight. She was not impressed. Harvey liked it, but then he's the only one that likes cow's milk.
Gotta get dinner going and the in-laws want to Skype. BBL.
Sending healing vines to all in need and hugs to all their beans.
Prayers and vines to Amy's DF, Marje's DM, Chris' DM and Elise's DM.
