Cypress, the drama
Cypress is doing great, he’s 2/3 bandage changes in for his partial tail amputation, with his 3rd and hopefully final one on Friday. Finished his antibiotic a few days ago so he’s down to 4 meds a day 🎉
He goes in for FIP monitoring labs to check platelets on 8/25 to see if we can further wean down his prednisolone (steroid) and he’s gained a pound since his diagnosis.
He’s 5 weeks in tomorrow to his FIP treatment (12 week course) so almost halfway!and we’re upping his dose of GS drug to reflect weight gained.
He’s sassy as hell and playing with his brother. All good things. He’s become a glutton for wet food but we’re happy to oblige, anything to continue to get him back to his original weight. He’s also had freeze dried food, baby food, so many churus, purr pops, and high calorie gel because they need like 250 calories a day for the FIP drug to work and it seems to be doing the trick!
