I just gave him ~ 1/2 can of FF pate. This morning he hit 52 at +2. I gave him a Sheba portion and his BG went up. fingers crossed.
He earned a reduction 5 cycles ago. he gets another on now, right??

Yes, he earns a reduction. Do you have any high carb food? You don't want to fill him up, but with a below 50, we feed higher carb tonget them above 50. Maybe just a couple tsps or so. And test again in 30 minutes to make sure he's up.

How do I add BG numbers into SS when I take two. i.e. +3 and +3.5. On Saturday when he hit 49, his first under 50, I started a new sheet to log everything. I'm not in panic mode when he is just under 50. He seems to come up with a little food. That said, I don't think I need to start another sheet like I did the other day. In the past, if I took a reading not exactly (for example) +2 but rather + 2.5, I made a note of it in the comments. I do however, want to log this 55 on the actual chart.

Put both numbers and note the times. Then you need to paint the cell to match the numbers. You can see Rex's spreadsheet where I had multiple readings in one cell. Sometimes you need to change the text color so it pops out better, ie white in a dark green cell instead of black. I hope that helps.

Thanks! @Mandy & Rex
Did I read Rex's SS correcty? He went OTJ in just under two months! Way to go Rex!

So, Diamond has been surfing in the 50’s tonight. I’m pretty sure the 63 @ +6 was from his +5 snack. What do I do if he has a real low amps? I planned a .25 reduction but I wasn’t planning on a surf in the 50’s. I’m probably jumping the gun but want to be prepared.
His last reduction was on a ps of 74. I work tomorrow but my son is on spring break and can test.

What do I do if he has a real low amps?

Check out these two sections in the Tight Regulation: Shooting and Handling Low Numbers sticky:

They're written well and will give you the information you need to make decisions.
