I think Jake has been feeling a little under the weather the past day or two. He's a little more mellow, but still eating and still super-affectionate. I noticed he's been pooping a lot more-I'm having to scoop his litter box more frequently. I want to look into doggie steps, as I can see him contemplating for a minute or two before jumping up or down on the bed, counter, etc.

Jake is still eating well. It looks like he is starting to fill out a little more. He threw up a little the other day, but it's only been happening once every week or two. The past few days, he has been super-affectionate.

The past few days, Jake's appetite has increased. He is now eating 8-10oz/day. He's acting more like himself. I can't tell if he's gaining weight yet, but I'll keep an eye on him over the next few weeks.

Jake is still a little more mellow than usual. He'll pick at his food, but I usually have to bribe him wtih treats to eat more. Eventually, he is finishing what I give him.

Yesterday, Jake was kind of mellow. Today, he seems to be doing a little better. He's still eating, although it takes a little longer. I spoke to the doctors office about his prednisone and they said I should continue to give it to him daily.

Since yesterday, Jake is a little more mellow. I'm assuming he's not feeling himself. He's still eating though and letting me pet him. Last night, I gave him a new flavored cat food and he loved it. He scarfed it all down. This morning, he let me rub him for a while and he was purring loudly.

Jake is still doing good. I spoke to the specialist on Friday and told him I was still concerned that he looked thin. He advised me to give him the prednisone daily for a month. He told me to take a picture of him and then another in a month to see if it looks like he put on any weight. If not, then we will go back to every other day.
