+3.5=49

2 Tablespoons MC on board.

I just want to scream :eek::mad:! I am at a complete loss as to what to dose him at. Should I go back to 0.75? I am thinking I probably have to to keep him safe during the work week.
 
:bighug:Our kitties like us to be challenged. I understand reducing when they don't "earn" it. I did it this morning because I can't monitor during the week.

Be a good boy Gizmo!

Thank you :D:bighug:

It is so difficult. He has been bouncing between 0.5u-1.0u now for about a month. At least he choose to pull this in the morning AND on the weekend. :D

When I read you can do TR when working full time I cringe. For me it would have been TR with modifications. I never felt safe leaving Max in low numbers and only did when I had an emergency.

Paul, here is what Dave's Naturally Healthy Grain Free Turkey & Giblets looks like, ingredients and #'s from the can.

Glad Gizmo showed you those lower numbers today! I know the feeling, work sometimes presents challenges, but you always do what is best for Gizmo. And his numbers really do look good ;), congrats on the reducie!

Where do you purchase the Dave's food?

Chewy. I have all but given up on trying to find food locally. I figure it is well worth my time and ~$30 to order a case and if he doesn't like it then I can just donate to the no-kill shelter. Gizmo loved the FF T&G but he can't have it because it is too high in phosphorus, so this is a great find (thanks Paul for pointing it out). I also got a case of Newman's Own Organic - Grain Free Turkey - but I haven't tried it yet. One thing at a time.
 
Btw, Lizzie, what is Gizmo’s “ normal” food that u r mixing Dave’s with ? Elmo has been happily eating Whole Earth Duck for months and suddenly NOPE :(.....the little poop ! Praying you get situation figured out with dear Gizmo ...as I’ve said, those of you who work full time AND care for diabetic kitties are my heroes !

I use a mixture. Primary (most oz's) is Weruva Fowl Ball, then I mix in Soulistic, now I am using Dave's. I also use I and Love and You Wholly cow but only 3oz / batch if I use it. You can see on my SS (comments) what the current mixture is and the individual foods are listed on the "Food" tab on the SS.

You are very welcome. Just a bit of explanation, Gizmo gets Pancreaplus enzymes in his food. They are digestive enzymes so the need to sit in the food before he can eat it so they don't cause mouth sores. I mix up 5 cycles worth of food at a time (2 1/2 days) because my schedule doesn't allow me to wait the minimum time before I feed at AM/PM PS. This has worked out well and have been doing it for about 6 months. The "5" cycles isn't a special #, just the way it worked out with the measurements and cans of food. :smuggrin:
