Hi, I'm following TR with Phoebe Squeak and I use an AT2 meter. On Sunday she earned a reduction because she dropped to 61 during her PM cycle, then yesterday she dropped to 61 again, so I reduced another .25
This morning she is at 417 -- much higher than she's been lately. What is the thinking on back to back reductions in a kitty DX just under 6 months ago? Could this be a bounce or does it look like a failed reduction? All advice appreciated. Thank you.
 
I looked back over the protocol & one thing it mentioned & I'll be keeping in mind as well was:

If kitty has a history of not holding reductions well or if reductions are close together... sneak the dose down by shaving the dose rather than reducing by a full quarter unit.
 
We had the exact same thing happen with back-to-back earned reductions and PMPSes in the no-shoot zone in the same week. Just a big ol' roller coaster. He's been a bit bouncy since, but because we're doing SLGS, we're holding tight for a few more days to see where he lands.

Not sure that helps, but hey, at least you know you're not alone!

Bounce. Yesterday she went low on her fifth cycle after the previous reduction. Five cycles was plenty of time to say that was the 1.5 unit dose controlling yesterday’s cycle. After her drop on the 28th, she cleared the bounce and saw green again on the 30th, three cycles after that low. Today is cycle two after her last low. Curious to see what she does tonight.

Thank you so much, Wendy. I'm grateful you took the time to give us advice. Phoebe Squeak says "Thank Mew!"
