Yesterday he got a skinny dose at 116. Which is what I’ll give him today and then monitor him all day.

OK But stay on top of it . Do you have High Carb food and karo or honey?
JenaThompson
Member Since 2020
he is eating now. Couldn’t wait any longer he was standing by his dish doing his puking thing. He thinks he’s starving so he walks around dry heaving.

Absolutely we always keep it on hand after our bad hypo experience.

I feel more comfortable with that. Cats that have hypoed can be VERY sensitive to insulin

Opi has earned a reduction several times over now - you do not want a cat to drop below 90 on Vetsulin and he has multiple times without a reduction. Do keep him at 0.25u, that is his new full dose.
Tagging @Deb & Wink for later tonight when she's online. His numbers are looking good so I hope he'll be ready for an off the juice trial soon.
Can you start getting more mid-cycles in? I know you can today but in general too.

yes I can. We are on prozinc now. We have just been super busy lately and out of town a bunch so he’s had a pet sitter a couple times.

Okay great. Get a +2 today for sure. If he goes under 90 again that's another reduction but since we're getting sooo close to lower dosing numbers you might have to wait for Deb's advice on reducing again. Not sure if you would go straight to .10u or hold it a bit longer etc. You do have a hypo kit with gravy food as a back-up right? 
JenaThompson
Member Since 2020
Yes I have a kit. No gravy food but I have some of his old kibble plus honey and karo. But the store is about 5 mins from me so I can go grab some today. I didn’t know about the below 90 I had posted his chart for someone to look at on the fb page and they told me I wanted him to get to those lower green number.Okay great. Get a +2 today for sure.

Kibble is good for a short hike. If you can get some LC AND HC food that would last longer.
