    he's consistently in the yellows, after blues and greens ten days ago

    it could be either way, the dose is too small, or the dose is too large

    at first I thought he was bouncing, but it's been more consistent, than a bounce, but I'm new, not sure

    plus I don't like the pinks on AMPS

    with the vet's concurrence, I tried a dose decrease, looked fine for a couple of days, then ....

    he's eating very enthusiastically and always looking for more
    normal size pee mounds in the litter box (I use pine pellets)
    he prefers to defecate outside, in an area of soft dirt and pea gravel
    he bounds up the stairs almost like a rabbit; has been playing with dog's ball and dangly "fishing" toy
    has caught two mice and a shrew, close to catching a couple of flies
    probably close to normal-for-him weight at a fraction over 12 pounds, has a waist but flanks no longer look like pits, backbone feels normal rather than a string of angular rocks
