Spent yesterday trying to figure out why Alex is constantly howling at the moon. Examining almost every move he made because It was a very slow day at work. Did he seem to be sick? Was he hurting? Why is he so antsy? What could possibly explain the high numbers? I read and read and watched him. But there was nothing to watch yesterday. He was very quiet all afternoon. I brought in more urine to the vet to see if he had an 'infection' and what he still does show is blood in his urine which could be from cystitis (which is totally inconsistent with Alex's symptoms ...he has no problems peeing at will wherever and whenever. No little drops come out of him.) Or Maybe from a tiny kidney stone that has been there for a while. The surgery is extreme and dangerous-even read that in Dr. Lisa-and Alex has too many health problems to even consider it; could be cancer...which I feel in my heart it isn't. Jackson has it too and they have both had it for a long time and I think they would both be pretty sick by now (knock wood they aren't and I read that it sort of rare in cats), and I also read that often you just never find out what is causing blood to show up in urine. And on and on.
Then I thought..could his feeding schedule(or lack of a good one) have anything to do with his bg's? I really don't know what I'm doing with that. Maybe I'm causing the high numbers because I'm feeding him too much at the wrong times....like meal time and when I test him. That couldn't be right?
There must be some reason and I'm trying to get to the bottom of this....
Alex is fine. He is pacing the kitchen for more food(after having over a can of FF). If stress is a factor in all of this I don't know what to do, because it seems as if he stresses himself out. He is driven by food and when he doesn't have it, he goes nuts.
Anyway, happy caturday everyone! :razz:
