9/5 Trixie AMPS 172 +2 132 +4 71 PMPS 116 +2 88

Yesterday

I added a drop back into Trixie's dose again, since she was barely skimming the greens late in the day since her last attempted reduction.

I'm also thinking of yet another food experiment...this time, completely eliminating the Wellness from her diet. Right now, she gets a 50/50 mix of Wellness and BG. I've always been afraid to go down the FF road for fear that I'd never get her to eat anything else ever again, and admittedly - even though -there's probably no cause - the by-products make me nervous. But I do wonder, since she doesn't do well on a diet of 100% Wellness, if having even just 50% Wellness is keeping her numbers somewhat elevated. Sooooo...starting tonight, I'm going to bite the bullet and give her a 50/50 mix of FF and BG. I think it's a compromise I can live with...especially if it brings her numbers back down.

Happy Monday, everyone!

Amy

Great numbers today for Trixie!

Good luck with the food experiment. The Wellness Turkey spikes Maggie's bg, and the Chicken Wellness she won't eat unless I mix it with 75% FF - what to do with these food issues, yikes! Good luck with the extra chubby dose.

Nice cycle shaping up for Miss Trix!! Wellness made Willie spike a tiny bit, but I switched to BG more because of the phosphorus. It's not his favorite... he likes the Wilderness better (of course. it is more expensive!!). Hope the food experiment and the dosecrease all work to bring her pre-shots down!

Enjoy your day!!

Trix does well, number-wise, on the BG, but she doesn't love it either - hence the mix with Wellness. We'll see what she thinks of the FF/BG combo tonight!

HI! Moonie & Copper were on FF their whole lives, and Moonie still is--I have tried every other food, but its a No GO with Miss Moonie--It's true they love FF & to be honest, I dont think it is a bad thing--They both did pretty well on it...Hope you find the right combo--BTW I do give Moonie cooked chicken and turkey as a treat. Copper(GA) wasnt a great cat food eater so I chopped up turkey or chicken & stuck it into his food in small pieces, so that when he ate that, he got a lot of the food with it...Worked for a long time--
Hope you have a great Labor day! Hugs from us! :mrgreen:

Trixie is doing so great!! You are a good bean!

Amy:

Good luck with the dosecrease and the food change. My cats have always been on Wellness or other equivalent stuff and they won't touch FF :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: I hope you find something she loves and her BG comes down.

I'm liking that PMPS...

I'd say the FF/BG mix was a huge hit...at least for this one meal it was! Hubby had the food prepped before PMPS pokey, and Trixie would NOT sit still for the test. She knew something different was up for dinner! Now, will she feel the same way come tomorrow morning? She is notorious for loving something for one meal, then being done with it...such a cat :roll: :lol: !

Beautiful day for Trixie today! Tarragon is on FF. I am thinking about switching to EVO. Hope the experiment goes well. Have a great day Amy!
