: he's rather quiet + less active the last couple weeks but you can tell he still at least is *thinking* about jumping on the puppy at night ... *grin* ... he snoozes alot more when he's on his livingroom basking spot + i try to get him in bed earlier, but he throws *such* a fit when he has to go to bed "early"! *geesh* ... i take those as good signs, he's still pretty much feeling like himself ... he's mad at me for the shots + it's gonna be a long time (again) before he isn't instantly on his guard when i go in his room ... *sigh* ... but he lets me make up to him at bathtime and before bed snuggle time ... tho i took ahold of his hand to file his talons tonite + he immediately *reacted* ~ thought i was gonna give him a shot i guess .... poor guy ... i let the nails go for now + we just snuggled instead ...

: think the Gelusil is at least absorbing enough to help the 'poop situation' and he went really big again tonight with no probs ... his spike shed is "stuck" again + think he's gonna end up losing the entire spikes sooner or later ... *sigh* ... they're only 1/2 as long as they used to be as it is ... but the old top layer of the spike just won't dry out + loosen, it just constricts the poor spikes ... i hope it doesn't hurt, tho i'd think it'd be pretty uncomfortable ... there's no way to loosen them up at all ... he has a couple of 'new' lesions on his jowls, we assume it's from the toxins in his system that aren't being removed as thoroughly as they should ...

: but he's eating good, drinking a bit extra on his own but not in scary amounts, urates are nice + fluffy white, no 'chunks of plaster' things in them any more ... + *pooping* nice again for mom!

: he's hangin' in there + am only mildly worried so far ... more bummed out that he has to go thru this crap again ...

: How is your ig doin'?!?!?

: hugs + headbobs!
: me + iZ
