Kaylee's check-up

Kay had her check-up on Friday, and everything seemed pretty good, except her liver values are a little high. Hopefully it's just from the drugs she's on, so we're stepping her back to half an Imuran and half a prednisone once a day.

Then yesterday, she had an IBD flare-up, the poor thing. But after some quality time in the yard and a codeine, she felt well enough to beat the crap out of the other dogs. I think she had the flare-up because she ate a lot the day before. Too much, apparently. She's still at the same weight she was a month ago, and I want her to be at least two pounds heavier, so we've started feeding her more. Maybe we shouldn't feed her quite so much, or at least spread it out more.

The other pets are doing well, though Cordy was being a brat in the middle of the night last night and didn't want to sleep any more. I would have just let her out of the bedroom, but she's gone back to one of her fun-filled teenage habits, eating tissues. I wasn't sure there weren't any within reach, so I kept her sighing, fidgiting, rub-my-tummy self in the room. Brat.
