*May it be so!*She had a multi-featured. Voluminous and loose. Poop in soup. She looked a little rough there for awhile. But she recovered and finished her dinner. It’s possible, maybe likely that she’s done. And that was the worst of it. If she returns back to a good poop tomorrow, I think we’ve demonstrated a correlation between her chemo meds and loose poop. It’s been nice to have a few good ones by comparison.
*Hoping for the latter*Bonus rounds and poop pukes!
And she has to wait for me to get off conference call for replacement meal.
I will talk with doc this week and see if we still need the chemo or if we can try a reduced dose.
But my lazy, demanding office mate is adorable. 
She'll keep you in line, undoubtedly! Hoping for the best possible "outcome"She hasn't pooped since yesterday morning. Which I guess is par for the course when she blows out. But it always concerns me because it's not like her eating slowed down during that time. I don't know that she eliminated enough yesterday morning to accommodate a full day's poop fast. She's skipped second breakfast and opted for more sleep under the bookcase. To be fair, her 4am feeder didn't open again until I popped it for her at 4:30. She ate first breakfast at 5:30. So she could just be taking a break. I've got her on the camera while I work today.
Started the new job yesterday. The commute is brutal. It's the walk from the kitchen to the office.
That sounds like returning the kindness with kindness.I finally got around to clearing the box. That was the most polite poop. Between the first and second, I’d say she’s caught up now. That first one was like an iceberg, a poopberg, that looked really tiny in the box until I dug it out. The second one, she didn’t even bother burying it. It was like a poop leg folded on itself. But it wasn’t announcing its aroma at all. Good on her! I kinda hate to dose her tomorrow morning. I have to call vet’s office after lunch and see if the doc will be available tonight for a callback. Otherwise, I may just underfeed her tomorrow to try and lighten the load when the blowout occurs.
Yes.Hopefully it's turned up by now?
Not ten minutes ago.
could also be filled with excitement as the drug works its way out of her.
"Excitement"??? Is that the kind of "excitement" we want? I think not.Yes.
Part 1 of ?
We’re on bonus watch now.
She looks relaxed. But I’ve seen this before. She could go to her tree and bust out a nap before returning to the box for a blowout. Anything is possible on a dosing day.
I should also add that tonight or tomorrow morning’s
A nap would be nice, though, yes?
I’d rather think of it as excitement than terror or tragedy."Excitement"??? Is that the kind of "excitement" we want? I think not.
Wow! Yeah, alcohol does convert to sugar in the bloodstream and a lot of people put on a lot of weight with it! My roomie drinks it but he doesn't ever show it.
Alcohol turns to acetaldehyde which is toxic and causes hangovers. What causes weight gain is that often alcohol is consumed with carbs like the grains in beer or actual sugars from mixers. Additionally, when alcohol is in the blood, the liver drops normal metabolic responsibilities and tackles the detoxification first. Of course this requires water as does processing carbs and sugars so acetaldehyde builds up if there isn't enough water to go around. Even if you don't get a hangover, you'll feel bad as the alcohol "wears off"/converts to acetaldehyde if there isn't enough water to convert it to the next less toxic metabolite.Wow!

Good on Krista!
Elvis snorked up some treats this morning and promptly regurgitated them. He is like a vacuum cleaner on treats. I keep telling him to slow down and keep them "in the cat" but does he listen?
Sometimes it's still useful.

I have a biochemistry degree still sitting in the envelope it came in.
But I was also eating a lot of fast food and take out because I never took time to cook. It seemed like whenever I did was when Krista decided to have her excitement. Murphy's Pooper!
So I gave her an advance on her 3 pm meal—a smaller portion. I can give her a tweener at 4 to get her to dinner.
I'd think so! Good girl Krista for hitting the targets -- or close enough!When I say excitement, here’s what I’m talking about.
Directly after I get off a training conference call she puts down a good poop. Except she missed the box and it landed on the pee pad. That’s what it’s there for. Thank you for your service!
I ran that poop, the spent pad, and the morning poop (I have a airtight flour jar that is her temporary poop bag holding bin) down to the dumpster and come back to her putting the big soft poop in a box. Good on her! While I scooped that out, she went under the chair and barfed. But hey! If there’s a bright side to this, she barfed under the chair. So after I cleaned that up, I don’t even have to lay down a pee pad over it.
And she loudly demanded a replacement meal.
Hopefully we’re done with the excitement now until morning. I’d say she’s pretty thoroughly cleaned out both ends this afternoon.
