Mowgli earned a reduction last night! We don’t historically have a lot of success with 0.5u but let’s see if things have changed!

I went to an NHL alumni banquet last night for the Calgary flames and Edmonton oilers. They’re having a game against each other in town for the kinsmen/kinettes and half of each team will be alumni and half will be people from town who won their position on the team in try outs.

I’m not typically a big hockey fan (heresy in Canada) but it was a really fun event. Each of the alumni players shared stories from their career about things like coaches and team mates. Some were funny and some touching. I didn’t really expect to have a good time but I ended up really enjoying myself!

I come home: Mowgli is at 2.5 :eek: let’s see how he works this dose :)

Have a great Saturday!
 
Looking good, Melly Moo:bighug: Great that you had fun night out, Amanda :) Growing up in St Louis I was and am a huge Blues fan ! Winning Stanley last season was fantastic.....let’s see what this season brings :)
 
Big congratulations on the reduction....hopefully this time the dose will stick and Mowgli will surf safely.
Have a good weekend!!:)
 
Amanda - I remember Mowgli and Tina being on the same dose before. Now they both hit .5 together. I hope this dose sticks!!
How do you feel about TR? I'm glad you had a good time out last night. Sometimes fun can make up a little for lack of sleep, right?;)
Surf safely Melly Moo!!!
 
WOW! Mowgli is really moving along with the reductions! Fingers crossed he continues . Good job Mowgli! :D

My son will be bringing his cat home on the plane . He said she still goes Nutty riding in the car. (It's an hour drive to the airport) The vet said he would NOT recommend any meds. He said it was not safe for a cat .

Have you ever used GABA? I remember reading that it works pretty good to calm them down but I don't know who tried it?

I was cheering for the Blues last year too! They have a LOT of Canadians on their team!
 
+4 25 - Fed HC but he wouldn’t eat it so I sprinkled temptations on top. I’m going to straight up try and abort this cycle.

Will test in 10 mins
 
+4.5 27 rubbed 2 drops honey on gums should I add more?

If that 25 is real, I'm worried the temptations won't act quickly enough...

I re-tested 25 was real, I will test again in 20 mins

So sorry!! Sending many prayers to you & Mowgli!!!

Thanks JJ :bighug: lowest that I know he has gone yet
Judy and Boomer said:
Oh Mowgli! Get away from the sharkies! :eek::eek::eek::eek:
Just my opinion but I would give a bit of syrup to bring him up quickly.

Thanks for the tip Judy! I rubbed a couple drops of honey
 
I'd give him a bit more honey, yes. Better to overshoot, and he is really really low.

How far to an ER vet? Do you have anyone who could drive you while you take care of Mowgli? Just thinking ahead here-- 20's are scary.

We only have on cal ER vets but yes we have access to one. I do have some who can drive me if we need to go and i have the number on hand,

yes this is his lowest ever, a positive I am hoping will remain true here is that Mowglis typical nadir is +3-+5 so I hope he also starts coming up alone... I am assuming i should skip his pmps?

Too soon to say on the PM shot, one thing at a time!

How is he acting, other than not being interested in the HC?
 
+4.75 59 I am assuming that is the honey, I will test again at +5

Instead of friskies this morning I had fed FF I wonder if because it was so low carb that it was a contributor here?

@carfurby @Beth 73 I have Icecream Carla! good tip! I dont have a syringe

Hope springs eternal!

Phew! on the 59. Interesting about the food difference today. I was also looking at his spreadsheet, and it really seems as if a switch was flipped when the calendar turned to October. Maybe his pancreas has decided to get off the sidelines????

I think / hope youre right on the pancreas, I also am trialing TR from SLGS (should add this to the SS) which directly started in October. There are a couple things that were new in October:
1. Trial of TR began - I think holding the doses longer especially around 1u is something that really helped
2. I had switched from FF mornings / Friskies evenings to Friskies all the time (which i didn't follow today because i have ALOT of ff and I wanted to use some and thought that bc Mowgli had a reducie and he's usually higher in am's that he would be ok with the FF )
 
YAY for the 59! The honey won't keep the BG up for very long so please do test again and don't hesitate to give a bit more honey if needed.
 
+5 52 he is sliding a bit what should I give? he's not too hungry

can I wait for 20 mins and another test to intervene?
 
+5.3 52 He is holding, I will check in 20 mins again... He did just throw up some of the HC... is nausea a symptom of Low BG?

I don't think so, but the honey could be doing it. He may just generally be feeling yucky today, explaining why he's not interested in the food. Makes this a lot harder, so I'm glad he's (barely) over 50...

Amanda, that’s what Elmo sometimes does in same situation ....do you have any SEB ? When I’m giving honey and battling low numbers with gravy or honey I mix up a little SEB and give little bits before each dose of honey or gravy ....just a thot .

Do you have any maple syrup?

As a proper Canadian... yes... I have maple syrup :D My grandfather makes it in NS every year and i brought two 40's of it home this summer :D

Amazon in capsules....or loose at health food store....on Amazon best brand is NOW brand ....good for people too
 
Amanda, PM me your address and I'll send you some of mine, first thing Monday Am., I have 125 grams which will probably expire before I use it all. Exp date is April 2020.
 
+5.6 68 removing the 911 for now, I think that we are past his nadir so I will grab a test at +6 and start hourly tests... make sense? (+6 is in 10 mins)

Thanks Beth! I will have a look around for some SEB to keep in my 'Cat cuppboard'

Sonia & Leo said:
If you have to keep propping him up, maybe he'd prefer some of his Great Grandfather's home made syrup instead of honey? I know I would! :p
Click to expand...
I hope I'm done propping for now! I want to keep all that syrup for myself :P but next time I will try that in case it was the honey that made him nauseous.
