Hi everyone, it's mes Carmine.
Yesterday was this big game called the Super Bowl. The Mom doesn't usually watch the Super Bowl, but hers did this year cause the Broncos were playing....and theys won! Mes didn't have to go hide my orange furs in embarrassment again like mes did two years ago, MOL!! Mes is proud to be orange this year!
Mes has not been eating well for about a week nows. Sometimes mes just picks out my prescription a/d noms and leaves the other noms the Mom mixes it with, MOL. A few times, mes has even turned my nose up at all the noms. The Mom has to open lots of cans sometimes to find something mes will eat. Mes ate pretty well yesterday the Mom says, so hers hopes mes will start to eat better nows again.
The Mom here: Don't worry, Carmine IS eating. He just isn't eating as much as I'd like him to. When we went from 10mg to 7.5mg of Prednisolone, Carmine didn't eat well for 1-2 weeks, so I'm guessing that the same is holding true now that we've gone down to 5mg of Pred. His body seems to need some time to adjust to the medication decreases.
Like he said, Carmine ate well on Sunday, so hopefully we are on the upswing again. If he continues to not eat as well as he should, I will definitely be calling his vet, though.
We hope Carmine will gradually start to eat more and will gradually put on some weight.

I'm glad you're eating, Carmine, but if your mom says you should eat more then you definitely should. We'll be purring and praying for you!
ReplyDeleteAnd, my boy Evan was also glad to see the orange guys win yesterday!
We're happy to hear that Carmine is eating a little and can hardly wait to give a big YIPPEE when he eats a lot!
ReplyDeleteYou eat your noms Carmine like a good kitty. Dad is in the same boat with our brofur Buddy. He has cut back on eating. Dad added Mirtazepine and was glad he checked for info from other pawrents before he gave it. Buddy gets about 1/6 tab and that works for him with no side effects. Dad is going to get some formulated in fish pasted 2mg per ml.
ReplyDeleteWe want Buddy to stay around for a long long time yet
Purrs

Paws crossed that Carmine is just adjusting to the lowered dose of Pred - that sounds like exactly what is going on. I'm sending purrs just in case!
ReplyDeleteCarmine, never be ashamed of that beautiful orange fur. I pray you feel better soon and eat better. XO
ReplyDeleteI hope Carmine decides to eat better each day. I am so happy for the Broncos and Peyton Manning! He is from Louisiana. WooHoo!
ReplyDeleteCome on Carmine, keep chowing down pal!
ReplyDeleteI hope you start eating better again Carmine. I am the same as you and go through patches when I only eat very little.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your orange furs this week!!!
ReplyDeleteCarmine, we hope you start eating a little better so your mom stops worrying about you. ;). And Wally says he's glad the orange team won too...though Ernie is a little disappointed with the panthers.
