Alice was stable enough today that I was able to leave the house for several hours (with someone home to do a feeding or two) and get some work done. Yay! Cat food money!

She’s had Clavamox and Cerenia and Cosequin so far today. Sleeping in her basket a lot.

 

Alice’s d-mannose arrived. I think I was told the dosing is about 250mg? I’m not sure if this sounds right when I look at the bottle and my memory is bad and I didn’t write it down.

Also should I break it into multiple doses? Sprinkle on food? Will it have a pleasing taste/smell, none, or be displeasing?

 

Most give 1/8 tsp to 1/4 tsp. I mixed it in food.

 

Per day? Or..?

 

I'm glad Alice was stable enough you could go out. I hope she keeps surfing for you. Good luck with the D-Mannose

 

You can give D-Mannose a couple of times per day.

 

How many mL does this look like we got in this evening? I have never been good at eyeballing volume or distance. I have my own estimate I suppose but curious what others would say. Alice wiggled and was quite done before we could reach our 100mL goal.

 

Maybe 60 ml?

 

Thanks. I was thinking 50-60, roomie seemed to think 70 sounded reasonable. I’ll take 60!

I hope she is good tonight. I am beyond exhausted into some pain flare fatigue land that is hard to fight through. I’ve gone through and set alarms for the night already for checks.

 

Try these if you csn. You can measure more accurate. Chamber measures 100 ml.

PM has her at 210. Her appetite isn’t huge. I am exhausted. I hope she surfs alright. I’m going to test her at +2.5 and then see if I’m allowed to sleep. I’m not sure I can help it either way tonight.

Thanks I’ll look into it when I can afford to look for new supplies.

 

+2.5 146. Trying to decide if that is a significant drop. I might mix a drop of syrup into her remaining food that is out.... I need to sleep for awhile. Got a decent little meal in her but I worry it won’t be enough.

 

Always figures I’m exhausted, nap, get up for her alarm, and then can’t sleep anyway.

I wanted to add that I found my baby scale finally. She is 2.85kg/almost 6.3lbs. This is either good sign for weight or for hydration, she was 6.2lbs @ vet a week and a half ago, and 6.0lbs at the ER vet (dehydration).

She started snuggling on me tonight. I’m so glad. I miss it when she doesn’t come to bed with me.

 

Darn. Looks like my nap is her bounce. I thought she had had enough food.

 

You can use one for a week, just change the needle each time.
