Zhoom has been surfing along the past 3 weeks at 2 U and then today all of a sudden he is way low. He has never been this low before. I just gave second HC snack this time with a drop of karo. Feeling scared. He is acting normally, so that is good.

Reduction earned. Test in 20 minutes.

Yes, reduction and test in 20. Big deep breaths for me.

 

[tiffmaxee]

You can do this. You will guide with food. He will be fine.

 

[CRL]

Tested 20 minutes later - holding at 37

 

[tiffmaxee]

Give some hc and test in 20.

 

[Nan & Amber (GA)]

Whoa!

Too low, Zhoom Boy, back up now please!

Great catch!

Great catch!

Glad you are on board. There’s a DKA cat trying to figure out how to help on main forum.

 

[CRL]

So glad you are both on board! Thank you for the support. Going to test again in a couple minutes.

 

[CRL]

We are up a few notches to 41. Fed more HC. Will test again in 20.

 

[tiffmaxee]

Come on now up!

 

[Nan & Amber (GA)]

Oof. Well, at least it's a start in the right direction!

 

[CRL]

Yes, he will eat anything I ever put in front of him, which is lucky for me, but unfortunately he is not carb sensitive. I have Hills DD duck as my high carb food option. I think it is only 17%. He has IBD and it is so hard to find food that will not give him diarrhea and vomiting. If you have any suggestions for a potential better HC food option for him (higher carbs - novel protein) I would be all ears.

 

[tiffmaxee]

Do you have any honey or Karo syrup? If next test isn’t over 50 I would give a few drops on the food.

I gave a drop of karo on his +3 snack. I will give another drop on this next snack if he is not over 50.

 

[CRL]

42 Gave another drop of Karo and HC food

 

[Nan & Amber (GA)]

Wow. He is really not fooling around today, is he?

Hope the karo and HC works this time. At least you are getting close to the midpoint of the cycle now, maybe he'll start coming up after that.

Wonder what got into him today?

 

[tiffmaxee]

Since he’s not carb sensitive I’d give a few drops of karro and not just one.

 

[tiffmaxee]

BTW given how hard it’s been to bring him up I would take a reduction. Any more tests?

Sorry I disappeared for a bit. I had an appointment today and then my muffler pipe fell off my car! Oh boy has it been a day! My partner took over while I was away. He did a great job keeping Zhoom safe. We are now at 89. All is well. Thank you so much for all your help and support. You too Nan. I appreciate it.
