Mancat Monday: Carmine Update

Hi everybody, Carmine here.

I love the pickle the Mom gotted me for my birthday!  

I don't know if hers told you, but I maintained my weight this week.  When I had to go back to the v-e-t on Thursday, they gave me my second B12 shot and weighed me.  The vet tech lady said I am still 8 pounds and 10 ounces, which made the Mom happy.  Hers wants me to gain some more weight, but hers says if I can stay at my current weight, hers will be happy for nows.  I don't know why the Mom frets about my weight so much.  I just don't eat like a cow like Milita does.

The new Royal Canin s/o kibbles are quite tasty, but I'm still not eating nearly as much as Lita or Jewel.  The Mom was worried about me going on s/o because they thought I may have been allergic to the s/o canned food, but I haven't been scratching any more than usual or anything, so maybe I'm not allergic to it after all.  

The Mom here: Carmine goes in for his next B12 shot and weigh-in on Friday.  He is still on one pill of Prednisone in the morning and 1/2 at night.  We are going to continue this regimen for a month.  He has two more B12 shots left before we assess what treatment approach/es to start or continue.  I'm hoping so much that this will help him.  I worry about my little baby a lot (as I'm sure all of you kitty moms and dads can relate to!)!

Carmine also has a Sentry calming collar on, and he seems to be more social these days.  He spends a lot of time laying out here with me in his blue bed instead of in my room in his pink cube.  Don't get me wrong, I love that he loves his cube, but I'm so happy he isn't isolating himself in it anymore :)
