TF arrived today!

I'm starting him small, and working up the dose. When I opened the can, he came running. I let him sniff it - and he started meowing up a storm (which he does for meals LOL). I think he would have eaten just the powder!

You guys are so lucky and so is he.... Im sure you know what its like to try and do this with with a finicky one.

I wonder if he knows you are helping to save his life, you never know.

I'm just lucky he seems to like everything, I think. He may or may not know we're helping him - I think he just really likes food! I'm pretty sure he knows he's safe, and we want to help keep him be safe. He LOVES being inside and does NOT want back out. I think his being so aggressive out there was just a defense mechanism, because as we're introducing him to our crew, he's really been quite docile (until Spooky got in his face and wanted to keep grooming him despite his first polite "no" request ).

Tuxedo, on the other hand, definitely knew we were trying to save his life - but he was still finicky. Even now that he feels really well and is doing great - he does not complain at all about going to the vet - and before he got so sick he used to, and make a real stink about it there. (He'd given one vet and one vet tech stitches!!!) But he no longer hurts the vet or any of the vet techs, either. He's now always a good boy about letting them draw blood (knock wood).

I took his lysine back to a normal level on... Friday? Thursday? I don't remember. But I started him on a small amount of TF as soon as it arrived Saturday. I upped his acidophilus a little because he went back to having diarrhea (before the TF, but when I increased his lysine to 500mg without doing it slowly).

I'm up to 1/2 the recommended dose of TF as of last night, and I've been adding teeney amounts of extra lysine - and his poops are back to his normal (soft stools, but formed, and once a day). I'll see how it goes today - not gonna increase the TF more until I know his poop is stable.
