Day 47, Kuma’s FIP Journey

Posted on September 27, 2022September 27, 2022

Day 47 Kuma’s FIP Journey

I slept in a bit, shitty night of sleep, i will use AC tonight to see if that helps

0545, off to a walk on cliffs

0600 Keppra

0730, called Vet to get an appointment about the lump on his R front flank, near the armpit.

Our favorite staff member said she’d see if Dr. Lair would take a peek at him briefly if we could drop him off and leave him for a few hours or so.

I got a call while at work, they would book us to see Dr. Lair at 0800 Wednesday morning, so off he goes for lump evaluation.

Return to a nuclear Kuma, playing, running, being obnoxious.

Relaxed for a while, showered, and off to work

Isao had to work today, but was home in time to give Kuma his Keppra at 1400

1400 Keppra

Kuma napped off and on all day per Isao.

I got home at 1800, Kuma running around like a madman.

Dinner 

1900 Neurontin 0.1mL

Inuyasha marathon!!!!  So good!!!!

2100 Capella administration

W:  4.76lbs

T:  100.7F

D:  1.5mL

Position 2:  R mid flank, the lump is gone, we’ll try this site again.

Pre-injection skin prep:  same

Tent:  actually quite good, but strange

Needle insertion:  awkward, much yowling with even a small push of meds.

REINSERTED NEEDLE in a different part of the tent, much easier to inject meds.

Blood at the site from multiple sticks

Med administration:  hard first stick, reinserted, much easier

Needle withdrawal:  smooth, bleeding at the site, had to clean

No leakage, but blood

Post-injection skin prep: performed a thorough wash of blood away with a soapy towel and fresh water rinse x 3.

Maintained strong, high tent while CHURU!!!

No more bleeding, it shut off after tenting and churu feed.

Checked site carefully with a flashlight, no more blood, medication lump under the skin.

Will recheck before bed.

Kuma off to play and terrorize the house.

He’s grooming the area to remove the excess water, and it probably hurts a bit more with the double stick.

2200. Keppra

Will keep the area under close watch

A good day
