Hi. Sorry no one has answered so far! I have never given advice before BUT Amethyst is also ACRO and High Dose I would SKIP this dose But hoping someone else chimes in Good Luck:bighug::bighug:
 
Can you work your way back to your normal shot time if you shoot now? Are you able to monitor all day if needed and do you have plenty of supplies?

If not, you should probably skip.

Thanks. I tested just now and he's 104. I was going to increase today but not now! I'll test every hour until someone comes on. They aren't on until later.

I can, but should I give the full dose? He's been dropping after shot and with these low numbers I'm afraid.
 
You can shoot a reduced dose, but the depot will still be in play and that could affect the numbers. A lot of the time when you shoot low they don't drop as much because they are starting from a lower number. However, it is up to you. I'm popping in from work and cannot stay with you. If you shoot, make sure you get a +1 and a +2. You have the food to bring any low numbers up if you need to.

Thanks
 
I agree! I would be also! Amethyst use to DIVE when she was first diagnosed:eek: The help and support here is wonderful:bighug: We have been here almost 2 years but I really do not feel comfortable offering advice. Lots of hugs and support tho:):bighug::bighug:
 
I’d skip this shot and drain the depot a bit. His numbers will go up but that’s ok. You can then shoot on time. Once you get to more than two hours past your shot time, if we aren’t dealing with a DKA prone cat, it’s best to just skip.

Of course he did this because of the dose increase threat!

Keep in mind you need to keep testing him until he’s rising and not dropping back down. He’s got a really full and large depot and he could hypo even without a shot.
 
I think you made the right call not to shoot, I would just wait until later so that you can keep on schedule.

Pretty crazy to see Biscuits so low! The food you just gave him should definitely help slow him down :)
 
Let’s see how he does today. I’d like to hold the 25u dose, if possible, instead of reduce. He didn’t drop below 50 and his SS was looking better but not really reduction-worth. I’m concerned if we reduce, he will just see more yellow and pink.

We’ve got time to decide based on how he does today.

Thanks, that's reassuring!
 
Oh boy Biscuits what are you doing are you trying to show off???? You don't have to scare your Mom like that. Well done Sandie, you handled it well considering you have not seen low numbers like that before.

I agree with Marje. Let's see if today was a "one off" or indicative of what this dose can really do. This dose is the first time he's been spending a lot of time under renal threshold.
