Mancat Monday: Carmine Update


Hi everyone, Carmine here.

Last week, the Mom took mes and Jewel to the stabby place together.  

After the vet lady got done poking at Jewel in the back, it was mes turn, and of course, mes was very scared brave.  

The vet lady was asking the Mom all kinds of questions about mes, and the Mom told hers how good mes is doing and how hers hasn't given mes any Cyproheptadine for mes appetite the whole month.  So when mes went on the scale, everybody was surprised that mes lost 4 ounces!!  

The Mom here: We have no idea why Carmine lost weight again.  The vet wants to weigh him again in two more weeks, and if he's lost more, then she wants to put him back on B12 shots every two weeks instead of every month and/or raise his Prednisone dose again. :(

I'm going to order some probiotics to see if that helps Carmine with his IBD (which is what the Prednisone and B12 shots are being used to treat).

It's me, Carmine, again: The Mom says mes should eat more kibbles and more wet noms, but so far, mes is not doing it.  MOL!  

The Mom has not been feeling well over the weekend.  Hers says hers has a sinus infection and plans to call her allergist later to see if hers will give the Mom some medicine to help the infection go away.  

We hope you all had a great weekend!

  1. Well Carmine, at least you are eating well even if you did lose some weight. I have that same problem you know!

  2. I have a hard time keeping weight on too, Carmine, and my vets think it is because I am poorly metabolizing food (along with being a picky eater). I'm on a bunch of meds, and should probably be on pred and B12 too!

  6. We find that whole weight thing puzzling as it sometimes seems to have no relation to what is being eaten. But we hope you put some of it back on before you go back to the vet, Carmine. And we send haling purrs for your Mom.

    Purrs,

  24. Not too good Carmine that you are losing weight. Our mom thinks probiotics sound like a good idea. She has IBS and takes them, and they help a lot. Please eat your noms and get better, buddy. XO, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo

  25. I will pray for all of you. That is odd that Jewel's numbers improved, but her behavior shows otherwise-very scary. God Bless.
