Looks like a nice surf in high greens so far. Good job Mouzer. :D Lots of time in healing numbers.

I am ok if he stays around 70 and 80 - if he starts a drop lower than 70 - I might

Excellent!!! Yes...surf's up!

I'd feed another tsp of LC and retest in 30 just because we haven't gotten a green surf out of him yet. Once we get an idea of how he might react, and he's doing great, then next time, you won't need to test as much and a tsp of LC might take him an hour.

But...it's still early in the cycle so let's stay on top of it for a bit.

OK - He wont eat any more LC - He is full - I am waiting to see where he goes. If he gets going below 70 or gets to 65, I might get the MC out and get some juice out of it.
I think there is gravy in his MC - I better go look --- Yes - It is Gravy Lovers Chicken Feast

I feel he won't eat, that's ok. Let's test at +4 and see if he can hang out in higher green.

I am watching the clock like a hawk. I am now relatively calm, with thinking maybe he will stay above 50 and 60. I just hope it isnt a trick and he will go there, to pump my nerves back up again.
 
So far, this is a good thing for Mouzer, I assume?
Or is this a place where we now cant be sure what dose to give, to keep him from going too low?
This here, where he is - or at least where he was 25 minutes ago at 82 - this is low enough for me :)

It's excellent. He's at a very nice number right now.

I think it's a bit premature to determine if this dose is too much for him right now. Under TR, this would be an excellent dose for him as long as he would keep surfing above 50.

That is the upside of TR; you can hold a good dose for longer. You are testing plenty for TR because a prerequisite of TR is no dry food. You say he has access to it but not sure what he eats of it.

ETA: we have to get out for our evening walk before it gets any later. Be back in about 30. I think Chris and Wendy are around so tag them if you need help.

He is at +4 89

He doesnt touch the dry food. He lets me know when he wants his canned and I am here to give it or he waits til I get here because he knows I will be here before very long. Jill & Alex (GA) had just mentioned wanting to know if he has access to dry, if he did get low and wanted it - so I put that in the signature, just so that is known.
But he wouldnt eat it unless for some really strange reason and hopefully if he got low and I wasnt here, he would want to eat it. He loves his canned food though.

heehee Mouzer is gettin pretty surf graphics and he dont even know it!
I wish they could know what this is all about. He is looking at me like I am some kind of nut :)
 
Thank you all for staying with me. I really do appreciate it. I am not knowing when to stop testing but I am not ready to stop, until he got up to 130 or something like that.
I just opened a container of test strips because I have three left in the container I have been using but I have 600 more test strips, not counting the 50 I just opened hahaha
I freaked out and bought them after his first green :D
 
You want two tests with rising numbers, without influence of food, before calling it a night. It doesn't have to be as high as 130. If you are feeling brave, and since he's flat now, you could go an hour until the next test.

I got nervous if the number of strips went below 250. :p

Yeah! I havent let test strips go low. I bought 200 and then saw how much was using them and he hit that green, so I stocked up.
I am going to test now lol I cant wait any darn 30 more minutes hahaha
 
Have kitties took a big drop, after sitting where Mouzer is, for as long as he has now?
Or is this where it stops until a rise? Or is this ECID haha So we do not know?

He likely hasn't hit nadir yet so we don't know but I have seen cats come down later in the cycle when they were surfing earlier. However, if he heads back up without food, he is not likely to come back down.

I agree with Wendy....I'd give him an hour now to test again.

I was a founding member of Testaholics Anonymous. I also got :nailbiting::nailbiting: when my strip count got below 300.

Ok - If I wait an hour from last test it will be +5.5 --
Would it be ok to test at +5 and if he is holding, then wait an hour?
That way my SS doesnt have any more .5 times in it? hahaha
And I have joined your Testaholics Anonymous Group :D
 
+5 91 ate 2tsp lc that was sitting out

I had to do the +5 to get the SS back on the hour
I will wait til +6 now
And I hope I can go to bed then - hoping for 100's to show
I do have to have a kitty dropped off to the vet at 7:30am and I have to get up at 4am anyhow but I will stay up past +6 if it looks like I need to
Also, I will need to know dose for morning. If he is still down here, there is no full dose, I hope hahaha

Yo Mouzer, My Lagoon Deputies and I welcome you to the green lagoon, where the green cats surf. Surf safe!

~ LagoonMeister Rusty

p.s. You may bounce tomorrow, but you'll be back in the lagoon again soon. Congrats on the reduction.

Good job today, Cherryl.

So, bounce maybe tomorrow - this means jump back up - why do they do that?
I am not sure yet if the reduction is to come. He just went from 1.0 to 1.25, so not sure what reduction could be done. It seems 1.0 is not quite enough and 1.25 might be a touch too much and I have a hard enough time judging to get the 1.25. To go just under 1.25 but higher than 1.0 - I dont know I can do that consistently.
And thank you for good job but I dont feel good job on me because I got scared. I hope to get comfy and not be scared.
I am waiting to get a +6 and I dont know when his nadir is, so I am not sure if I need to stay awake even past +6

+6 145 & 151 two in a row to make sure

Is it safe to go to bed?
And so, when is nadir? or when was it?

EDIT - OK - I am going to try to get some sleep. Shot was 30 minutes late, so even if I dont do a test til nearing 6am est, I have til 6:30am, if I need direction for dose. I am with the impression, if numbers go up, to give the normal 1.25u - not sure on if the mentioned reduction is to get a reduction and if so, what to reduce to. I have to leave the house and wont be back in time to test at +2 or if I am, it will be around +2 - I can test at +1 but have to leave to drop a kitty off at the vet and it shouldnt take long for drop off but just in case, I thought I should mention.

Before you go to bed, I'd like to go over a couple things.
  • I believe Jill mentioned the dry so that if you didn't have HC or he wouldn't eat it, you could use dry to bring up low numbers. I don't think she meant that you should use it in all circumstances of low numbers.
  • Tonight when you tested at +11.5 and he was 196, then he ate Fat Boy's food, then he was down to 183 at +12, you could have shot on time. What we don't like to shoot is a food spike if they get food in the +10 - +12 timeframe. Because he didn't get a food spike, it was ok to shoot without stalling.
  • I know he's just starting to look really good and spend more time in healing numbers but he did get down to 82 and, under SLGS, his dose should be reduced to 1u. However, as I said before, you are testing plenty for TR and, under TR, you would hold the dose until he drops below 50. But....you would not want to feed him dry or have him have access to except in the extenuating circumstance where you would have no HC or syrup or he wouldn't eat it and you had dry that he would eat.
If you decide to stick with SLGS, his new doe will be 1u but if he is high tomorrow morning....high yellow or higher, you can do what we call "shoot through the bounce" so you would give him 1.25u one last time to help him get through the bounce numbers and then you would reduce to 1u tomorrow night.

If you decide to switch to TR, you would leave the dose the same (1.25u). You would still do random spot checks but we don't do 12 hour or 18 hour curves with TR; we just do spot checks or check like tonight when numbers are going lower.

It's your decision.

You both did great tonight! Sleep well.

I am not sure what I should do. I dont want to go to 50 ever -- So does that mean I do SLGS?
I am too scared to ever even get to 50. The 82 was bad enough for me hahhaha
But I hate to see Mouzer go up. He is 377 now and I am going to do 1.25u because he was just a little higher yesterday morning in the yellow. And then do 1.0u in the evening, especially if he gone into the blue at some time in the day, before pem.
