| Don't know how much help that was, lol! They said it would not make him sleepy... Google said it could cause weakness, and DH said he gets very tired when his BP is low. While I was on hold for the vet, I did get Peek to eat some sugar cookies (his new fav treat) followed by a bit of chicken baby food licked off my finger (about 1/2 jar). He had peed in his bed before I called the vet. This is not like him so I was concerned. His breathing looks good, not labored nor rapid. He alerts to noises by lifting his head, but then just goes back to sleep.

| Thanks Cathy. Guess I'll be up all night keeping watch. They also suggested he could just be stressed from the vet's, but he's really very good when he goes there, and no one was excessively rowdy in the waiting room. Think I'll cook him some chicken and rice and see how that goes.

| Hi Kathy, I'm so sorry to hear that your sweet PeekABoo is having a tough time now. It's so hard when they begin feeling their age. I pray you find the right medications and dosages, and that things improve rapidly. I'm praying.

Thanks, Kristin. Quote:
Thanks Dawn... Well... good news I think! Peek has been asleep (he did get up twice and changed sleeping spots) since my last post, but just woke up and barked at the door to go out to potty! Then he came in and ate a serving full of chicken with some green beans and had a drink of water! I really think he was just too tired to stand and eat before. I think I'll reduce his dose tomorrow and see how he does, then call the vet 1st thing Monday morning.

| That dose is ok Kathy. My Olivia is 5.5 pounds and takes 2.50 mg in AM and 1.25 mg in PM It does not affect her at all. No fatigue..nothing!

| Thanks! Did she have to adjust to the dose when she first started taking it? I am also thinking of giving him half in the am and the other half a bit later on. I'll see how he is in the morning though. It was a bit scary with him today, especially when he wasn't eating. He doesn't care for Nutrical at all... he hates sticky stuff, lol. Or maybe I should make sure to feed him before his meds.... duh.

| So glad to hear he's feeling a bit more "like himself". I think of Peek a lot, the little sweetie!

| I don't think I would worry myself too much if he has a decreased appetite. He probably just does not feel so great. Hopefully the meds will help him to feel better and he will get his appetite back. I would not give him Nutrical just because he had a decreased appetite, especially if he hates it. Have you tried yogurt? Years ago my sweet Maxwell who is at the Bridge used to eat it every night. I gave him vanilla yogurt.

| The bloodwork came back... all is good! Even his kidney values... which I don't get bc he was diagnosed earlier in the year as having early stage renal failure? He's on 1/2 K/D and regular food (won't eat the K/D alone) and baby food and I always add water to his food. Do the kidney BW values return to normal with diet change if the kidneys are not 100% functioning? He was up and about fine this morning, so I made sure to feed him first before giving him his meds. He's sleeping now, but is quicker to respond to stimuli, either noises or me touching him, so this is good, better than he was doing yesterday. His breathing is good and hardly any coughing at all.
