1/29 Trixie AMPS 170 +3.25 115 +5.25 130 PMPS 190 +2.25 126

Yesterday

Trix's numbers have been slowly creeping up a bit, and her trips to the lagoon have been so brief, so I did get a little trigger happy this morning and gave her that threatened dosecrease. It's a good day for it, since I it's my day off and I'm home to monitor....but it doesn't look like it's going to be too terribly exciting (during the day at least) anyway. She has made a couple VERY solid attempts at kibble raids this morning...she is always fast and sneaky, and never ever passes up an opportunity when MamaBean turns her back for even a second...but today, she has got some extra mojo going and has been super fast and sneaky!! Silly girl....I'm sorry the Wellness is so darned yucky.

Sending extra vines out to J.D., Zener, and all those in need. Have a great day, LL!

Her #s are starting to look good, Amy. Good luck with the new dose, and I hope that it brings down her #s to the :mrgreen: lagoon. Have a great day, and thank you for stopping by our condo.

Nice recovery there Trixie. Now green! Oh that kibble is way too temptiing. I'm glad we don't have any in the house. Tarragon loves it. Have a great day Amy!

Re: 1/29 Trixie AMPS 170 +3.25 115

Good morning, Amy,
Good luck with the dosecrease. Too bad about the Wellness. Maybe try a different batch number?

Have a good day off, keeping an eye on sneaky Trix!

Ella & Rusty

Yo Trixie. The Blue Team is heading out to the ice. You coming?

Woo hoo, looks like a visit to the lagoon is in order! Anti jinx, of course ;-) . I hope the dosecrease will go well Super fast Trixie sounds dangerous, you leave that contraband alone, please, little girl. Hope you have a nice day off, Amy!

Re: 1/29 Trixie AMPS 170 +3.25 115 +5.25 130

No lagoon for me today...I iz all-in for the blue curling team - woohooooo...see you on the ice!!!

Trix has been tired of Wellness for quite some time now...she's been through so many cases and always has the same "meh" reaction. I am lucky...she DOES eat it, especially with layers of FortiFlora, but I know she is not thrilled with it. Makes me sad that there isn't a food she can enjoy more....

Re: 1/29 Trixie AMPS 170 +3.25 115 +5.25 130

Don't you just miss the days when you were completely oblivious to what a cat should eat and just poured kibble into their bowls whenever it was empty and they loved it, ate whenever they wanted, and, ta da, that was it? The day I opened a new bag of kibble was always Champ's favorite day. I would set a big Rubbermaid cereal keeper on the kitchen floor, open the bag of kibble, pour it into the bin, and leave the lid off so Champ could eat off the tip top of the new pile of fresh kibble. At least he doesn't have other animals around still eating the stuff while he has to go without. Poor Trixie!!! :lol: :lol: I hope she gets to the green lagoon on this new dose...fingers crossed!!! I looked at her SS after your comment in Champ's condo last night. I CANNOT BELIEVE she was up to 5 units at one time. Trixie is the one kitty I was sure was going to go OTJ. Oh well, I guess we'll remain old-timers. At least she's healthy and happy!!!

Have a great day off, Amy!! Make sure to let me know when you have your kits ready so I can tell Danielle. No rush....she's working a lot of hours these days (yay!!! full time...she can pay her own way now!!!).

Re: 1/29 Trixie AMPS 170 +3.25 115 +5.25 130

Whoopsee, sorry Amy. Trixie, I retract my lagoon comment! (now she should do the opposite :lol: ). I hope you can find another food she likes soon...if only we had more choices...

Re: 1/29 Trixie AMPS 170 +3.25 115 +5.25 130

Good luck with the dosecrease. I hope Trixie doesn't manage to get any of the kibble.

Re: 1/29 Trixie AMPS 170 +3.25 115 +5.25 130

Hi Amy,
I so hear you on the foods too. Today I picked up 2 cans of the Wellness Kitten. I don't think I have ever tried that one. I cover all the Wellness with Fortiflora too, but like you said, they learn to just lick the top off. Cleo has been eating the Ziwipeak Venison & Fish without any toppings, but it does have fish and phos is 260 :sad: She only gets it a couple times a week. I have written to Wild Callings to find out their "as fed" values, but so far, no response.

Cleo also keeps an eagle eye on the civvie's kibble. She pretends she is just walking through the kitchen, but she is really waiting for them to finish, and for me to leave the room so she can jump up and grab a mouthful :lol: When she was first diagnosed, she couldn't jump up to the contraband, but she sure can now!
Good luck with Trixie's dosecrease~ Hope it brings her back to :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

I am really glad I went for that dosecrease this morning!

Yeah, I either miss the kibble days...or, more than that, I wish I could convince my kibble addicts to eat what Trixie eats. That would make things so much easier. But years ago, when I tried to convert them (long before Trix was diabetic), the literally chose to starve themselves rather than eat wet food. I tried all of Dr Lisa's tricks, as well as a few of mine own...it was a big, huge no-go....

@Patty - Yep, I think we're here to stay. That's OK...as long as she's healthy and happy. I'm so used to planning my life around her schedule - I don't know what I'd do if that weren't the case :roll: :lol: !!

Re: 1/29 Trixie AMPS 170 +3.25 115 +5.25 130 PMPS 190 +2.25

Yup, we're all in it together!
Today looks like NDW. What will tomorrow bring? Rusty likes Paw Lickin Chicken. have you tried that one?

Have a good evening,

Ella & Rusty

Re: 1/29 Trixie AMPS 170 +3.25 115 +5.25 130 PMPS 190 +2.25

@Ella - Yes, we did try Paw Lickin' Chicken last year. Trix actually did love it, but it made her BGs go crazy - I kept doing increases and just couldn't reign her in, so I had to take it off the menu.

Re: 1/29 Trixie AMPS 170 +3.25 115 +5.25 130 PMPS 190 +2.25

The blue team is nice but the green team needs you, Trix. Zener is a big kibble addict too. I found some kibble that had been in a plastic container in the closet and his little nose went crazy when I cleaned it out. L :lol: :lol: :lol:
