Jake continues to do well. Yesterday, I had a lot of people over for a bbq and had Jake locked in one of the bedrooms. Someone let him out and he freaked out. I tried to grab him by the scruff, he bit me on my hands. Don't know if they're infected, but they are sore & swollen. After everyone left, he was fine.

I went to NY for a few days and left Jake for the first time since he was diagnosed. It turned out well. A friend came by twice a day to check in on & feed him. He was ok the first visit, but tried to attack her the other times. When I came home, he was so happy to see me. He had only spit up a tiny bit in 1 area once.

This morning, just after drinking from the bathroom sink, he got down and threw it all up-water everywhere. He was doing well after that though.

Jake spit up a little this morning. We had about 15 minutes of play time when I woke up. Jake was chasing the balls, and even did a drop & roll, which he hasn't done in a looong time! I think I wore him out because now he is just chilling.

Jake is still doing great. It does look like he lost a bit of weight. I'm guessing it's because they cut his prednisone in half about a month ago. I called the dr's office and they said to keep an eye on him-they might increase it slightly. He's still eating well and acting like himself. He hasn't thrown up that much the past week. The hairball stuff I've been giving him is doing it's job.

Jake threw up this morning. It wasn't a huge amount, but it was more solid. I couldn't tell if there was a hairball in there. I feel so bad for him-it seems to be a daily morning occurance.

Jake is still doing the same. We took a nap this afternoon. Afterwards, I was petting & kissing him and he bit me on the cheek and leg. I've been ignoring him for the past few hours. He keeps coming over & sitting next to me and trying to get my attention, but I won't acknowledge him.

The past few days, he's been spitting up early in the morning. Sometimes it is a hairball. He's been shedding a lot lately. He lets me brush him for a few seconds, but it's not long enough to get any hair off. I bought him some stuff to eat to help him digest the fur better. It's catnip flavor-he loves it.
