    I'm so glad Cookie responded well to treatment! I'll keep Stokes in mind when we start the chlorambucil. Thanks so much for the tip, Camille! :bighug:

    This pic was taken when my furry faces were only two years old. Amazingly they still look exactly the same now. :cat::cat:

    I have several pics of B&B sitting or sleeping together when they were younger. Now they can barely stand to be in the same room. I've no idea why!

    Cats are so weird! Ruby and Olive still cuddle together everyday. They have spats with each other, usually Olive irritating Ruby and then they tussle, but they are very close. ❤️

    Omg, they're so cute T_T Look are those big giant pupils, they look like they're up to no good.

    Have a nice day, Ruby, Olive and cat mom!

    Hi Katherine, just a good morning and love the pic and love how well Ruby is doing today. I have to go start Dolly’s day. She is starving. Have a good day and see you later. :bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug:

    Good Morning :bighug:!! They are SO beautiful and too cute Katherine!! Have a relaxing weekend!!

    I second the recommendation for Stokes but I also know Wedgewood is very popular. I am not sure of the current pricing from one vs the other.

    +2.5 = 106. Similar effect to yesterday morning from the pred.

    I've had to empty out the pee tray from the litter box a lot in the last day. Ruby also waved her tail at me for her second morning meal earlier than usual and ate most of it with gusto. She's been on anti-emetics for almost 4 weeks now, so I'm going to start weaning her off them if her appetite continues to improve.

    Steroids are serious stuff! Never having taken them myself I never knew how effective they could be.

    I'm so happy Ruby already seems to be feeling better and eating with gusto! Those two gals are adorable! Thanks for sharing the photo... it made me smile.

    Those numbers aren't anything that you cannot handle. So happy for Ruby... poor baby has been suffering.

    +4 = 111. Creeping up...Leaving the house for a while so I won't obsess about the numbers. Hopefully she'll be green again by the time I get home.

    Awwww, your babies are just so adorable, Katherine! Their picture was definitely needed today in my world! Ruby is looking good on the Pred (2.5mgs, right)? Pearl and I are cheering for her, and are so impressed!

    Thank you for the good wishes and thinking that I'm brave as I don't feel that way at all! Have been such a mess over the past week.

    Ruby has gone from inappetance to ravenous. :cat: I did not give her ondansetron this afternoon. Mixed a batch of ground lamb with lamb liver, quail egg and Alnutrin and gave her a smidge to hold her over until PMPS and it was a hit! :woot:

    PMPS = 101. I'm not so happy with this. :stop: I will test more tonight and take Ruby up to .1 units tomorrow if her numbers float in the high greens to get ahead of these blues.

    I took Prednisone once, I've never felt so good in my life. It's amazing what they can do. Threaten Ruby with that increase!

    Pred's side effect of increased hunger is a bonus. :)

    I'm thrilled that Ruby is eating on her own. :) It's been so long I'd forgotten how much she likes food. I know that once she starts the chlorambucil that will change her appetite again, so I'll let her enjoy eating while she can.
