Day 83 Kuma’s FIP Journey

Posted on November 3, 2022November 4, 2022

Day 83 Kuma’s FIP Journey

After a long discussion last night with our admins, we have decided to keep Kuma on another month of Capella while we taper him off of the Keppra (seizure meds).

So his new schedule will be Keppra BID x 1 week, Keppra QD x 1 week, then 2 weeks with no Keppra onboard while we continue titrating Capella upwards with his weight gains.

The calendar is marked, and we’re ready to go.

Day 1 KEPPRA TAPER, BID 0600/1800

0600 Keppra

I got up super late, showered, pet everyone bye, and out the door at almost a dead run LOL

Barely got to work on time 

No midday Keppra, Kuma fell asleep on Isao after terrorizing his desk (Kuma now knows how to get up on the desk!!!)

I have Carl today, so arrived home to find Kuma wrapped up in my blanket on the couch, happy, warm, and on the brink of sleep.

Dinner, yummy nabe 😉

1900 0.1mL Neurontin

2000 feeding time!!!

2100 Capella administration

W:  5.96lbs

T: 101F

D:  1.8mL

Position 3 L rear flank

Pre-injection skin prep:  same

Tent:  excellent, Isao braced Kuma from the R side so he can’t squish away from me, got some nice skin tenting

Needle insertion:  excellent, nicely in tent

Med administration:  smooth, no complaints

Needle withdrawal:  good, slight leak

Post-injection skin prep while tent bouncing and CHURU!!!!  3x soapy towel with freshwater rinse, pat dry.

Adults getting churu too so had a slight delay before releasing the beast!!!

He is getting too bold on the living room table, tipping glasses, so now begins the avoidance training.

We get a tiny ear flip for bad behavior, followed by a strong “NO!” and placement to the floor.

He is jumping higher and higher now, soon we’ll have to find a taller baby gate for the bedroom.

We have to be able to observe him at all times while he’s tapering off the Keppra, so keeping him out of the bedroom is critical.

I will update Dr. Lair via email tonight.

I need to do the insurance reimbursements this week/weekend.
