Oh 💩💩💩 and a🤮😿

She even left a carpet squiggle. 🤦‍♂️

Here I thought these disasters were reactions to her medicine. But now I’m not so sure. I’ll get a callback from the doc tomorrow night and we’ll discuss whether we need to go tighten up the treatment and go to every third day or if we can try the two week protocol.
Oh NOES!!! There has to be a better way! And hoping the doc will be able to advise on that.

Poked her!

I've been too lax on her B-12. I found a needle and syringe and gave her a shot. I got the needle in and she leapt before I even plunged. Luckily, she was under a chair so she wasn't going far. I waited for to settle down again with needle still stuck in her. Then I plunged and "we're done!" No wet spots this time. Finally! I did it right this time. I gave her a fish flake reward and then proceeded to feed her lunch.

We'll do this again in two weeks.

Wow! We may have escaped a disaster. She had a big poop leg folded on itself. But so far, one and done! 👍

I trimmed her dinner in preparation of a disaster. Now she’s looking a little disappointed like she could tell she got a lunch portion for dinner. I may start her second dinner a little early.

Doc called back. He’s open to all my suggestions. So, since she hasn’t had an issue today and maybe it’s because of the B12 I gave her, I’m going to try every third day with a weekly B12. We can try this for a week or two. I’m concerned that the two week protocol is a lot of chemo at once and it may not give us the two good weeks that we’re hoping for. So I’d rather try the every third day first. And stay on top of the weekly B12. The every two week protocol is still an option if every third day with weekly B12 doesn’t work out.

My thoughts, too. *Hoping and praying for success!*

When I say she dropped a poop leg:


🙀

That’s almost a two hand pickup. 🤦🏼‍♂️😹

Looks like a one and done. 👍 So far. 🤞 She finished her lunch and has now retired to her tree after a groom.

I miss the poop zooms. 😔

*Hey, yeah! That's a two-fisted poop, to be sure!*:lolup::2cents:
I put a half smidgen of psyllium in one of her dinners and one of her breakfasts. I'm glad I wasn't putting it in every meal. I was putting it in the can when I opened it. But it was getting too diluted by the volume of the can. I think this is a good amount. Any more and she'll need a step ladder to do her business.

Well, and we don't want that, do we? :ruminating: ;)

Another good 💩. Hopefully one and done. 🤞

Nope! She put a squiggle in another box. Then she was so determined to put down a carpet bomb that I chased her into poop jail. There she put two more toothpaste squirts into the boxes. But that was enough.

🤮

The second dinner that I thought she was ready for after the first poop came back up. At least it was on the hardwood. But it’s still no fun for either of us.

No 4am feeder portion for her. That became her second second dinner. I’ll try to push her midnight meal to 1 so her overnight feeder can be at 3. She can wake me for breakfast at 5.

Hopefully no further excitement until next dose. 🤞🙏

I scrolled back through the last three days. I recorded 5 poops and only one of those went sideways. 80% is an excellent success rate! 👍

She just had her next dose at 5:30am. And since she pooped at 10 and 3, I don’t expect her next one until at least first dinner.

Excellent news! Keep up the good "work"!
I told my roomie, a MLB fan, about the Korean baseball. Hoping she's watching. As for orcas, absolutely!!!
KBO is on ESPN or ESPN2 mostly from 11:30 pm PDT on through the night. Works for me and my broken sleep pattern. At the beginning of the pandemic when baseball was canceled, I was watching All-Star Games from the archives on YouTube. I like baseball because it's good to watch and good to sleep by. And if I do wake up, it's not that hard to get back to sleep again. And fun to watch while I'm working on getting back to sleep. It's a good pace for me vs. other sports.

My roomie loves it. She's even travelled to catch players she likes. A baseball groupie.
And I guess there can be diversions from murder porn. Mine is nature programs.

I haven't been into murder porn for a while now. The ID shows got too Desperate Housewives for me. Mostly I watch Rick and Morty, Family Guy, Bob's Burgers, and South Park until I run out of those. Then it's either KBO or BBC America for the nature shows. That's my Sling TV lineup on any given night. Sometimes BBC America shows movies instead of nature shows and I have to switch to one of my other Roku channels. I recently became a Prime member for the free shipping so I'll go through their catalog of nature shows. I also have purchased a few on Vudu. I can watch the Planet Earth or Blue Planet series over and over. If David Attenborough is narrating, I'll watch it.
