PURRKINS LOOKING LIKE PURRKINS....LOOOOVE IT!

I k ow it seems like a gazzillion uears to see your perky Purrkins return to "normal". All things considered, plus adjusting to his meds, he really has bounced back fairly quickly! That's just how Purrkins rolls!😎

Happy Hannah had a glorious additional bonus time of over one yr & two months after amp for osteo! She made me laugh everyday! Joined April's Angels after send off meal of steak, ice cream, M&Ms & deer poop!

Thanks, Jackie, Rene & Sally!
Sally, you are right; this is how Purrkins rolls:) It has been a rough few months the gaba for tooth pain, seizures, pheno, MRI, tap, anesthesia etc.! It does feel like furever!

Considering all he has been thru plus the higher dosage YEP! Purrkins is on his way back, and it is soooo good to see! Still not 100 % & steady on three, but that is improving as well. He is doing his little 2 step pet stairs now smiley_clap Will see how today goes and opening up more areas!

I got confirmation yesterday it can take an animal 4-8 weeks to adjust to the pheno dosage depending on how the animal metabolizes the drug. That was extremley helpful to hear. I have lots of information to add in the coming days!!!!

We go today for the plasma recheck and will get those results on Wed .

Purrkins had his best day yesterday, he spotted/hunted his mouse last night on the back porch! HIGHLIGHT

Anyone have a pet mouse here? Seriously, I want to get the boys a mouse or 2 not to hurt but watch through an aquarium or cage. IF it would not cause the mice harm to be observed and batted out? I know right ;)That's on Purrkins bucket list, and he deserves more than the dang mouse! INPUT ON the bucket list item? Please smiley2

Purrkins the Warrior Super Kitty! More to come.

Loads of love!

I have a saltwater fish tank and my boy cat just stares at it for hours on end, I have a horrible feeling that mice may not appreciate having a cat staring at them.

The way some of these are made is that they don't move until the cat messes with it, then it's game on icon_lol

When Holly said mouse, this was the first thing that came to mind sp_hearticon2

OMC Jackie, I have not seen this until now!

Thanks for the link Rene too! HA yep will be breaking down to get one.

have a horrible feeling that mice may not appreciate having a cat staring at them.

The one visitor we get on the porch does not mind LIKELY because he knows he's safe outside. Yes, I'm not looking to hurt or stress any creature. I was thinking aquarium-type setting if we decided to do this. The little guy would be safe; the boys could just observe, like the fish.(my thinking but I have no idea why i asked) i will inquire further;)

I know natalia2019 Pablo's Mom had a mouse, and they did ok together i was shocked.

I will update you later on yesterday's appt. I have been up all night and getting relief here in a few. Yep, shi _ change SAlly;)

Thanks for the input!

Purrkins pheno levels are now in the ideal range!! smiley_clap
He was getting into the therapeutic range on 1/16/21, 11.25 mg for 11 days, then the increase to 15 mg for 3 days.

These results below are for 2 weeks on 15 mg 2 times a day.
(reminder dosage goes by how each animal metabolizes the drug, not by the size of our furmily)

Karen/Krun15 -

You are correct 😘 i put an arrow there for you all these years later; your knowledge and traveling in the time machine serves you well!! smiley10

Purrkins had an excellent visit; he does not mind going to see Dr. R whatsoever. On the road again.I just can't wait to get on the road again🎵 icon_lol here the tune';)

We had to take the truck as we had a fresh dump of snow. Purrkins had to ride on my lap.

On the way home;)

We have zero issues with the boys when we get home, no who are you, no hissing, etc. Massive difference in a cat-only clinic, plus they adore Purrkins and give him all kinds of ruv. He was in there for maybe 15 minutes, and we were on our way.

Mr.P's parking spot, i think i will ask if I can make them some new signs:)

We stopped at the pet store & pharmacy to get Purrkins meds.

Jackie, i did it. 💳 😁. Thanks again, Jackie and Rene;)

Mr. P still says he still wants that mouse;)

this early a.m.

Purrkins is starting to adjust to the pheno dosage, still not steady on his three. Each day is better! He is now doing his 2,3,4 sets of steps when we're there to make sure he does not have a mishap. We are not to our new normal yet. We are getting there!🙌🏻

Dr.R is waiting to hear from Dr. I (neurologist) for Purrkins plan in the future! I will hear back from her again this week. We have already spoken to Dr. Matt, and he has already formulated a plan!👏🏻😁

We are still w/o heat - the parts came in; they are coming out tomorrow. I will explain all this further in the next post & fill in the blanks.

Loads of love & much appreciation!

Oh Lord, we are snowing and cold here 🥶 Hang in there till tomorrow!!

I know of drugs that need a peak and trough level. Not many but there are a few. From veterinary to nursing i remembered a lot but 7 years into office work.... like they say, if you don't use it you lose it. 🤯 I miss those days, but also appreciate being in my office without patients right now. I deal with enough unsafe bodies, lol.

Im thrilled Mr. P is settling into his normal self 🥰🥰🥰

Which fishy did you choose?! I look forward to the results! We have a kitten now and she's got all the boys following her lead which is adorable ❤ I've actually been able to increase the boys food, hahah! Even my Sta Puffed Marshmallow Man is running around the house like a teenager 😂😂😂

I see a bright yellow "three" with a black lining and Purrkins' face peeking through🥰

Big hugs, keep up the pawsome work!!

Jackie and Huck❤❤❤

2 Deluxe Flippity Fish😸😽
I can not buy just one of anything here:) asking for fighting etc. I was hoping for Paypal but not an option FYI.💳

Great news the boys are moving with Phoebe in the house & they get more food ha;)

😁 yes;)
I think a different color/type of kitty per number as well. From what i can see they appear to be all gray kitties. Now that we are not in trauma i will pay more attention and see how many spots are marked. I know I can make some cutes one & laminate them. These are temporary of course with the times but they are getting tired already by the looks of it.

Thanks, Jackie

Thanks for taking us along on your adventure to the super duper pawesome cat clinic! Love the pics and I cannot WAIT to see the flippity fish reactions!!!

So are you saying that before you started going to the cat clinic, that the boys would treat each other differently when you got home from the old v-e-t? Did I miss that somewhere?

Looks like you guys are miles ahead of where you were this time last week, yay! smiley_clap That new normal is just around the corner, I can feel it.
