He was a bit more lethargic yesterday than I would like to have seen, but on the up side his appetite was pretty darn good, so there's that at least. Another day of mixed bag behaviors.
He put a bit of a scare into me by waiting to download until late afternoon around 1700 rather than his somewhat usual noonish he'd been doing in the several days before. I did put in another call to VCA regarding his lack o' poo, but they weren't terribly concerned as he'd had good output 24 hours earlier and even better output 48 hours before. So at least he *did* download for me, damned cat. :/
This morning he woke me up for breakfast, more politely than his normal, but he still woke me up for his breakfast so that's a good thing. J wasn't up at the same time as I was feeding so Lars got his half scoop of kibble to tide him over rather than his usual first being served his gushy fud with all the stuff in it because I'm not able to corral Lars to give him his Lactulose (tried that one time with only 1.5 cc, couldn't control him, and got bitten to boot, as you might recall). Lars was Unhappy about this development, but he managed to survive. ;) He's actually grudgingly getting a bit more easy for J to dispense with the Lactulose, which is very nice for everyone involved.
Once the Lactulose was down the hatch, I waited a few minutes and fed him his half can of Gravy Lovers gushy fud with the probiotic and the benefiber mixed in. Predictably, he scarfed down all of the gravy (which is where all the meds are, which is a great thing) but only ate about 2/3 of the meaty bits today. This could indicate that the Mirtazepine is starting to wear off as his next dose is tomorrow morning. :/ So...yeah. Mixed bag food wise this morning.
Doesn't seem to be nauseated, has not vomited at all since going on the Cerenia course last Thursday. But...I *know* he's not feeling well because he's so lethargic and extra sleepy. I worry that he's not improving quickly enough to avoid the endoscopy procedure. J says "don't borrow from tomorrow" and to take every day as it comes and wait and see, but I'm an overly anxious mama who just intrinsically knows when her best boy is Not Well. I know it takes time for the meds to do their thing, but on top of being overly anxious I'm an impatient mama, too. I want him back to his old self NOW. I want my peace of mind back that my beloved boy is alright.
Sigh. And so it goes... :/
