Hi. Good Mimi's come up some. Some more experienced people should be along to help. I too new to assist. Good luck.

Sorry you haven't gotten a response yet, While Mimi did come up on her own when she goes below 50 you can start with a tsp of MC or HC but only a tsp, you want to make sure she is hungry if you have to give more. Glad she came up for you!
Mimi gets a dose reduction since her numbers dropped under 50.
Please changed the color of the +10 cell on your spreadsheet. It should be green.
You have options when you see low numbers. You can try feeding a bit of the usual LC or you can feed MC or HC. There are no fixed rules here other than keeping your cat safe. The judgements depend on when in the cycle a drop in numbers occurs, how fast numbers are dropping, how carb sensitive your cat is and probably several other factors I'm not thinking of at the moment. Obviously, whatever you did, worked!

Oh that’s right it is the wrong color (oops!)
She surfed for a bit and is now +77 pre shot! I’m kind of glad I was able to forgo the MC or HC And she didn’t dip below again!
I’ll give her the new reduced shot of 1.5! Thanks Sienne and everyone else!

Great... I think I just gave her a fur shot. *%!?!! I got a little cocky and thought I could give her the flank shot while she was sitting in her favorite spot and not pick her up and put her on my lap like usually do in brighter light. Dammmmt
Well- I’ll be testing a lot tonight to see if I messed this one up...
I feel like an a hole.
well- not a “fur shot”.. let me explain
I attempted to shoot the flank while she sat cozy in spot instead of picking her up to turn to the side. In that time I inserted the needle, and pressed down but noticed (or maybe I didn't- it's hard to say because i am also pretty tired today) that I may or may not have pressed the plunger down some while I was holding it (before approaching skin) because it didn't feel like I pushed down very much.,,

It happens. As long as you did not try to give a second shot.
