Just a quick note before I hop in the shower. Cinco's OV checkup is today. Paws crossed we can take the collar off until his surgery next week. I'll post all the usual info when we get back. Gonna check him one more time before we go - just like him to hop in the lagoon prior to a vet appt! I hope I can get him dried off in time! :roll:

I hope everything went well at the OV appointment and Cinco can be cone free for a while.

Yesterday's Condo

Thanks for stopping by, Molly, Amy and Carla.

We are home from the Ophthalmologist. The news is mostly good. The corneal ulcer is completely healed. :-D The pressure in the eye is perfect. :-D There is still some inflammation from the FHV. :-| So he discontinued one kind of eyedrop (a three times a day drop - yay!), but the others will continue until surgery. He said we can take the cone off, BUT we need to watch to be sure he doesn't rub at the eye and cause further damage - the inflammation may feel uncomfortable and cause him to rub it. When we got home, I took the cone off and thoroughly washed his face with a warm washcloth, paying special attention to the area around the eye. He wasn't thrilled about the process, but I could tell it felt good to him. When I let him go, he went to his favorite spot and laid down. He kept shifting his head, like he couldn't figure out how to get comfortable now! After a while he decided to have a bath - something I know he's been dying to do. I just watched him wash his face - apparently I didn't do it right :lol: - and he didn't spend an unusual amount of time on the left side, so I think he's not going to mess with it (anti-jinx). I'm debating about putting the collar back on while we're gone at bowling tonight. Overall, I think I'm more excited about the collar being off that he is! He's a very mellow cat.

I got a +10.5 test after we got home, just to see where Cinco was, and we have a sort of double dip - it's hard to call it a real one, since he had only gone up to 102. Now I'm wondering what he has in mind for tonight! I like to think he usually nadiers around +5, but looking at his spreadsheet lately, he's been all over the map! I'm going to give him some 8% for his t/f/s and hope he behaves! If we leave the collar off, I can set Otto up to give him a snack at +2, and maybe +4. We should be home around +5. I just checked and the bathing has progressed to his nether regions - sorely needed as he does NOT like Mama to help with that area at all!! :o

Sasha has done well today - eaten well with no problems. I woke up early to give her Ondansetron an hour before feeding. I will give her another dose tonight when we get home, as that will be a little more than 12 hours, and we always give them all a snack when we get home. Tomorrow morning she gets the Cerenia two hours before we leave for UCD for her bloodwork. It's a week today since her chemo, so I'm going to try not giving her any more anti-nausea meds after the Cerenia tomorrow. Hopefully she'll be done with the side effects by then and we can do without until the next round.

Gotta run and get ready to head to the bowling alley. Have a great night, every one. Sorry I didn't get to condos today. I'll make some late night visits when we get home.

Sending healing vines to all in need, and hugs to all their beans. :YMHUG: Prayers continue for Amy's DF, Lyresa's DF, Wendy's DM and Elise's DM. Thinking of Marje and Jill as they mourn loved ones that crossed this past week.

Great news on the collar removal and one less type of eyedrop. :-D Mr. Greenie's visit looks good too. Be good tonight Cinco.

I bet that bath feels so good for him. Enjoy the bowling night!

YAY for getting that cone off. :-D :-D :-D :-D Many vines for Sasha and for Cinco. They sure have dedicated beans. :-D :-D

Hi Tricia,
It's great the Cinco gets his cone off for the week. Sounds like he enjoyed his bath. Sending vines to both kitties tonight.

We are safely in the city. Rusty wants all his friends to come visit this week for fun activities. He hopes Cinco and Sasha will be up to it. He'll arrange for a seeing-eye cat for Cinco and take good care of him.

Hugs, scritches,

Ella & Rusty
 
Re: 9/15 Cinco PMPS 128

Thanks for visiting, Wendy, Liz and Ella.

We had to interrupt the bathing marathon to give Cinco his insulin and snack. We all enjoyed t/f/s and eyedrops sans collar! I really wasn't sure what to think about that lovely PMPS. We fed him 8%, which he devoured. I loaded Otto up with more 8% for +2 and +3.5. Then I set it down near him and put a little more food in the open section so he'd know it was there. He had that polished off before we got out the door. Hopefully he'll respond when it turns.

Ella, Cinco is very excited about visiting NYC and appreciates the offer of a guide. He didn't want to go if he still had the collar on, but now he's all set! Sasha might need a little help, too. She's still a little unstead on her three legs at times, but I know she'll enjoy it! :-D

I'll post when we get home and I can test him. I'm trying not to stress about what he's up (or down) to! nailbite_smile He seems to do this a lot on Mondays! :roll:
 
I'm wondering if I may have overcarbed Cinco. He ate every single speck of food in the feeder (all 8%). If I didn't know for a fact that I had filled it, I would think it had never had food in it! Oh well, at least he didn't drop really low. The night isn't over and he's been known to drop again, soooooo I'll be sure and test him before I go to bed. Nothing wrong with his appetite - he ate every bite of his dinner just now. :lol:

Bowling was fun. It is my big social event for the week. Of course, I spent time explaining Cinco's spreadsheet to a few people that were seated near me and saw me entering his PMPS. They were impressed.

Cinco is curled up, purring, on the sofa. He just had a head, neck and back massage and thinks all's right with the world. :-D Oh, to be treated like one of our kitties! :-D

Wouldn't it be nice? I love a neck rub right about now. I think I sometimes overcarb too soon but better to be safe when you have to leave. The night is still young. Come join us, Cinco. Max would love the company.
