He's lost weight, which I was aware of. His glucose was 71. Dr. Dori still wants to wait until April 13 to repeat Cupid's x-rays. She thought maybe he was having some side effcts to the Lasix, so we reduced the dosage.
It appears that Cupid is improving somewhat. His tummy seems to feel better, although he still isn't eating so great. He gets up and mills around for a few minutes at a time ~ last night he even came in the kitchen and helped me unload the dishwasher!
Anyway, Dr. Dori was awesome. She really eased my mind. I'm doing everything right ~ now it's just a matter of waiting and watching. Hopefully, in a couple more weeks, we will be able to figure out what else is going on with Cupid (besides the insulimoma).
On top of this, Dave got really sick tonight and barfed all over the house. It looked like undigested Duck Soup, so I'm hoping it was just a matter of him overeating. Dave loves to eat.
Ugh --- I am exhausted.
You are so busy with Mr. Cupid--it must be hectic. I'm relieved that the handsome boy is improving, and here's to hoping it stays that way.
ReplyDeleteI, too, have read a lot about enlarged spleens. With or without tandem symptoms, it just seems like it's yet *another* medical quirk of our beloved fuzzbutts. No one ever said the darn critters made any sense.
And poor Dave! Upset tummies suck (and never seem to teach them a lesson).
Best wishes to you and your crew!
