Nice start for Trix today...much less of a "heart attack" AMBG number for the bean!! I started giving her one 10ml syringe of fuds in the evening and one in the morning to help boost her calorie intake. This time around I'm using Wild Callings Cabin Fever...she doesn't love this as a "stand alone" fuds so she really doesn't go for it when I offer it on a plate, but I know it's higher caloried and lower phosphorous, and she doesn't object to it from a syringe so far. She really is very good and easy-going about syringe feedings. In addition to the syringes, she has eaten at least her normal amount from my "bean holding the plate" offerings, if not a little more, both last evening and so far this morning. She's her usual happy perky snuggly self.
We also started her new dose of .625mg amlodipine once a day, rather than twice a day. We do have compounded pills coming, since she may need an even smaller dose and it is physically not possible to cut the human pills down any smaller than .625mg. We'll recheck her BP in 1.5 - 2 weeks. I so wish we could check it at home :roll: ....
No word from the vet yet about her BW results. I imagine that if she does call today, it will be later in the afternoon after she does appointments.
I haven't spoken to my parents since my Mom told me yesterday morning that my Dad wasn't feeling well; I wanted to let him rest and I knew if I called he'd either be sleeping or watching the Notre Dame game and I certainly did not want to interrupt that! (I watched the game, too, but I had it recorded so I could watch in the evening.) I'll check in with them shortly.
Time to get moving....some housework, some relaxing, maybe some beading....have a great Sunday, LL!

:evil: :lol: Minka and Cinco would be easier, but I hope I don't ever have to find out.
