Mancat Monday: Carmine Update


Carmine: I love my Yeoww! banana!  

Hi Kitties!

The Mom took me to the stabby place (the vet) again on Friday.  Hers took me on the bus and this thing called the Light Rail instead of how we normally go by paratransit.  Me enjoyed looking out the window and at all the people in the bus, but me was still very nervous while out.  

When we got to the stabby place, the doctor weighed mes.  Everybody gotted really happy when I got on the scale.  The Mom said that I am a good boy, and the doctor said mes did a good job.  I don't know what all the excitement was about, so I'm going to let the Mom explain nows.

Mom here: We were all happy, Carmine, because your weight stayed stable!  It is a very good thing, and it means you must be feeling better :)  

Carmine's weight stayed at 9 pounds, 12 ounces.  We all think this is a good, healthy weight for him, so we are trying to back off on the appetite stimulants a little.  He still needs them two or three times a week, but we are cutting his pills into eighths so he doesn't get quite so hungry, but he will want his noms.  

The vet decided that we should keep Carmine on the 1/2 tab of Prednisone twice a day, and we may eventually try to taper down to a smaller dose.  At this point, we are going to try to decrease Carmine's B12 injections from every two weeks to once a month to see how he does with that.  

Carmine, that means not going to the stabby place as much as you have been!

Carmine: That's the best news mes has heard in a long time!
