Thanks for asking! So far so good. Last night he went for the thyroid medication in the pill pockets. Wet food still sort of makes him gag so continuing with the kibble for the moment. This AM, he wasn't falling for the pill pocket trick and so I crushed up his dose and mixed it with 1/4 teasp of water and was able to get him the medication.How's Jeffery doing today?
It was so good to see that he made it home for Christmas day.
Overnight he ate about 1/3 cup of the kibble and about 1/8 cup today with a few licks of baby food.
The way he is sleeping tells me he feels okay. Last night he was curled up with his head upside down--the total cat happiness sleep position. Right now he's stretched out completely.
The vet also gave metoclopramide for reflux. If he doesn't eat more, I'll give it to him.
I noticed his nose is still sort of bubbly last night but didn't see that this AM. Zero drool YAY! I realize the bubbly nose could be some reflux too so I'll check on him a bit. I figure sleeping is restorative and he should do that.
The compounded version of the methimazole for the thyroid should be ready today. The compounding pharmacy I'm using works some magic with Booberry's cisapride so I'm hoping the same for Jeffery. With Boo, I ask him if he wants his appetizer and he comes right up to me and I give him his medication. Of course, Booberry is the most laid back cat I've ever known. ( A stray we rescued in 2013)
