8/2 -- Harley PMPS 417 - Worried

Monday already. Harley is starting out better at 266. I knew he did not have a low bg, no crying, no pawing at me. Today will a challenge as I am working away from home and will not be able to get back here. I am planning to leave out some frozen food for him to snack on.

Re: 8/2 -- Harley AMPS 266

Nice AMPS Harley!
Have a good day Pattie :razz:

Was unable to be home today so I don't know what was going on. Started ok - AMPS 266, +8 362, PMPS 417. Did give Harley some cooked chicken about 4:10 but did not check bg (regret!). So, don't know if the +8 was bg going up after a low or if it was a real number.

I did shoot the 6.25 but now I am worried about ketones. I was unable to test this am (he does not pee on command - need to teach him that), and nothing so far. Those ketones are what I am most afraid of.

Any suggestions?

This may be a bounce. Given the blues (I'm discounting the greens since a meter error is possible), you may be dealing with the end of a bounce. It can take up to 72 hours for the counterregulatory hormones to clear. Obviously, get a ketone test when you can. And if you figure out how to get Harley to pee on demand, please let the rest of us know how you did it.

:lol: Sienne!
Can you put him in a bathroom alone with the LB covered in saran wrap?

Sounds like a great idea. I will give him some soupy FF and put him in his room with the door closed.

Soupy FF is a good idea, try to get extra water in him just in case.

(( Pattie )), I'm sure he'll be fine, but it's nerve-wracking waiting and worrying.

No peeing - but he did drink everything down. Just took a +3 and it is down to 356. I honestly don't understand the numbers he gives me, but at least it is going down.
