I am concerned shooting the full 0.5U tonight. IF the Wellness Core that I have been feeding is actually 13% and I have now switched to 4% I am afraid of him going too low. He is still in the greens from this morning (and has been pretty flat all day). I am seriously thinking of reducing at least 1/8U to 0.375 I am also concerned with getting the depot drained enough coming into the work week. I can always increase if necessary but this cycle on the 4% food has really been a surprise.

If you're home tonight I'd shoot the full dose and monitor. There is still 3 cycles before Monday. It's up to you though.

I am home but it is about the only evening/night that I can catch up on sleep. I reduced to 0.375U - we can call it BCS if we want. ;) I haven't seen a cycle like this ever - or at least in a very, very long time. I wish it was the 07/01 because I am off that week. I sure would have shot the 0.5U. Another reason is my vets are no longer open Saturday nights - they used to be open until midnight - now they close at noon on Saturdays.

I guess I am just a chicken - but I have to think ahead for both myself and Gizmo.

Good luck with the new dose, or BCS.. I would make a notation in the Remarks section about the reduction in carbs that you are starting to feed.

Thank you. I did make the notation (I usually do but had a lot going on today and forgot - so thanks for the reminder).

I won't be surprised if we see low numbers tonight - "know your cat" - yeah, I could be wrong but just call it a gut feeling.
 
I noticed you are feeding Organix. I was feeding that as well for a few years until chance was diagnosed with Triaditis and pancreas attack 3 weeks ago. Please let me know how Gizmo does on it. I would love for Chance to go back on it otherwise we will move more towards raw. I think I kept Vitacost in business buying Organix from them. Your chart is amazing and I have a lot of work to do!

Just started today. Seems like he really likes it. But Gizmo is a good eater for the most part.

Why did you discontinue feeding it?

Because we had the IBD & Pancreas attack. I have been scared to change anything. I have been upping the raw. I would like to get him off the D/D but this is all so new I dont want to irritate the IBD. He did really well on the Organix. Perhaps I should try a few and see how it goes. Congrats on the good numbers by the way! :)

although you did put your mama into a bit of a stress mode!

No stress from him - no power - yes! But I did get my hypo kit out and got MC/HC food out and the honey along with the special "treat" bowls I use for the non-standard (LC) food before it got dark so I was prepared.

Thanks you for sticking around - I appreciate it. I was kinda worried about the reduce carb situation but it looks like it would have been ok to shoot the full 0.5 (though I think I would have had to intervene with MC/HC food).

Hubby is in charge of TFS in the AM so I can sleep in. He will wake me if he gets in over his head (but he will be ok).

What is the absolutely NO shoot number?
