10/04 J.D. PMPS 376, +3.25 249 Spec fPL Results

Yesterday's Condo

Last Night:
252 PMPS
241 +5.5
169 +9
I did feed him up until +9 last night.
I have to get better at recording his evening food. I just kind of wake up and feed, wake up and feed, wake up and test and feed, thinking I'll remember the times and amounts in the morning. Not.

This morning I gave him his Denamarin and then his shot and he ate all of his 1st Breffis and all of Ginger's 1st Breffis.
They both get 1/4 can of FF per meal. So, I guess maybe I should change his 1st Breffis to 1/2 can since that's what he's been eating for days..gobbiling up Ginger's food. He's so cute, after his shot he goes out on the deck and gets a drink of water from his watering can, and then turns around and faces me from outside and waits for his (and Ginger's) food bowls to be placed on the raised threshold of the sliding glass door. It's about chest height for him, and he reminds me of a horse eating for some reason because the food is so high up. He ate his 3rd portion of Breffis at +1.

I went btb and was just about to test him when the phone rang and it was the doctor. J.D.'s Spec fPL yesterday was 12.3 :mrgreen: :razz: He as 46.8 two weeks ago.

He just ate his 4th Breffis and now both kitties are curled up in the cat bed I placed out on the deck. This is a large cat bed not a doggy bed, so for both of them to fit in it together is a little squished, but sweet. And I told them so.

So, my day got some good news.

Paws crossed for more appy and some nice blues today.

 

Re: 10/04 J.D. PMPS 376 Spec fPL Results

Thanks for the Cheering everyone :YMHUG:

UG on the PMPS. But, it is the first pink in 4 cycles. I was hoping his depot was filling and he would show me some green tonight as my sleep depot is full.

Here was his day:
236 AMPS
259 +3.5
247 +5.25
234 +8
287 +11

J.D. does need to poo. I have not seen a poo from him since Wednesday. Waiting.

 

The +3.25 is looking better. Yay on the test results! Sending poo vines your way. Have a great evening, Dyana!

 

ReNew Ultimate Flora question

If anyone has any ideas on how to get this ReNew Ultimate Flora Critical Care probiotic into my cat, please let me know. I decided to use it instead of FlortiFlora as it is stronger and I want to head of stomach upset before it happens. While I'm off of work, I am giving him his Clavamox right after eating at PS time and then the probiotic about 2.5 to 3 hours later. When I go to work, the best I can do is feed and give ABs, and then the probiotic at +1.5 in the morning, and then at night time I can do the probiotic at +2.5 or +3.

Anyway, this morning I tried to put it into a bit of doggy Duck & Pea pill pocket and the pill pocket wouldn't form around it. I had like one last remaining kitty Duck & Pea pill pocket and tried to fill it with the probiotic tonight, but if you look at the capsule it looks like there is still 90% left in the capsule and that is after two doses. I think I am supposed to give him 1/3 capsule twice a day. What do you do with all that powder and how do you get it into the cat?

Off to bed for us. Maybe J.D. will have some blues tonight ;-)

 

I am happy for the good test results for JD :mrgreen:

 

What good new about JD's test results!! I have no experience with that probiotic, so I can't help there. Sweet dreams!

When I used that same probiotic for Ripley, I gave 1/8 tsp each day divided into two portions and mixed in with her meals (or baby food).

 

Hi Dyana-
Hank is on evil AB also, and the Fotiflora or Pearls wasn't helping much at all...although after reading this I am not sure I was doing the correct order in relationship to the AB, or maybe not giving enough. But also based on Sienne's recommendation tried the RenewLife....it was Ultimate FLora, not the critical care, because i already had some on hand I bought on sale somewhere. But anyway, saw she said to split it into 1/3 and give 2 doses a day. (how do you gauge this?) I just opened the capsule and sprinkled some on his food. I may have poured FF juice on it to cover, but as I recall he ate it. This was before his dental when he was still eating normally. Have you tried just sprinkling it on food?
I have never used pill pockets. Really have not had to give pills to these guys...but for the Pearls just wrapped it in a little cheese. The are super small in size so was fairly easy to get down him. Wonder if you could also try that with the RenewLife..just sprinkle some on cheese and ball it up?

BTW, the other portion of my capsule got all humidified so the next dose was all clumpy and would not sprinkle out. I guess maybe in future might try to keep it in the fridge?

Anyway, try sprinkling directly on food and maybe JD will eat it...you could always add chicken treat dust on top to further entice.

 

I wish a good answer for the probiotic. I struggle getting Shasta to take all of her meds, like her cosequin and Potassium and aetenolol. She got wise to pill pockets a long time ago. :sad: Now, I mix it into her fuds...keeping my fingers crossed that she just keeps eating! I hope you figure out a method to get it in him. Also, sending vines for a good poo!!!!

 

Hi Dyana,
I sprinkle ReNew Ultimate Flora on Lucy's food too.
I open capsule and sprinkle 1/4 - 1/3 onto food and mix.
I re-cap the capsule and keep the left over in the fridge for the next use.
I guess 1/4 capsule twice a day isn't probably enough, but if I put more, she'll detect the taste.
Sometimes, she'd still eat it and sometimes not.
So when her appetite is super good, I take that opportunity to mix in a little more.
Usually, I can't really mix enough as I don't want to do anything that might ruin her appy. :YMSIGH:
