Thank you, Elise. Hopefully you'll have a picture of where the cycle is heading before you have to duck out. I'm really sorry I can't stay. I've got to focus on the Noodle.
Thank you, Susanne. That'll be really helpful!
Okay
I can do that. We would be more conservative than I am with Jax, right? For him, I don't use my MC unless in the 50s or I know he's up to his PMPS antics or coming off a reduction...for Kitty Cat, we want to keep him around 100? Looks like he has a bump already but just want a little plan (of course lol 
).
yes! I figured this is exactly what I need today. Thanks everyone for the help. Nice to have you here @JaxBenji

+1 is 124. Will get a +2
I'm Susanne and my sugar cat is Jax (black one in my pic). Do you happen to have measuring spoons around? Now that Kitty Cat has had some breakfast, sometimes a teaspoon or two is all the kitty needs to keep surfing (or staying in the same healthy numbers).
Hi Susanne & Jax! I'm Christina from NYCYou're doing great
and my sweet bean is Kitty Cat.
Love the city! We're in NC. And I was the same way - eyeballing - then started measuring. It will really help for your NEXT experience with these numbers - though it will also help today if we need it...When I see lower numbers that I've seen before, I look back at my notes to see what I fed & the amt, and what the number was next time I tested (and then decide if I want to repeat that or change it slightly - it's all sort of a little balancing act).Hi Susanne! I'm Christina from NYC
I do have measuring spoons. I admit I've been eyeballing but can definitely get more precise now that I'm starting to record his intake.
Can someone point me to Olive's spreadsheet? Or any others you think would be helpful for us? I was advised yesterday to go through some other spreadsheets to become familiar with the different scenarios. Doing my best to soak up all this info to avoid future panic and relieve you guys a little. I read through the guides but am lost because of the ketones. He's been negative ever since his trip to the hospital, but I'm worried about it coming back.
ahh thanks! sorry, I should've known to check the board first
yes, I actually slept last night!! he usually knocks out after breakfast for a few hours but he's SUPER HYPER right now. I will take this opportunity to get him some exercise...
You'll get it down
I do a little breadcrumb trail in front of me with small bits of the purebites to keep my kitty busy. I try to rub his ear before I put the treats down to help the blood flow a little. Glad he's eating willingly 
+2 81, fed 2 tsp MC + purebites
I think we should repeat (2t MC) to bump him up a little more and get through onset.
Hold his ear if you can, it can help minimise head movement. Try collecting a decent sized blood sample on the back of a clean fingernail and then testing it from there.
I agree.
Or we could do a mix - 1t of each? I was just being conservative with the MC & try to give them a break
I'm a little dizzy myself and need to eat so a 1 hr poke break would be nice. He's still hungry! I'll do a mix so he's not upset by the sudden lack of gravy goodness.Or we could do a mix - 1t of each? I was just being conservative with the MC & try to give them a break
Longer in the healing numbers, the more Kitty Cat's body gets used to it (which is likely the reasoning behind @Wendy&Neko saying to back off the MC ).
I personally do about a day or so. I also have freezed teapoons in an ice cube tray - popped them out and put them in a ziplock. I personally still reach for the fresh MC (or leftover in the fridge) but it's another thought - they defrost super fast since it's such a small amount.
yessss you are my hero today susanne!!Susanne you are doing great. Just checking in from my hair appointment.
Christina you will be coaching others before you know it.
Thank you EliseSusanne you are doing great. Just checking in from my hair appointment.
Christina you will be coaching others before you know it.
Christina, Elise took me and Jax under her wing - you are in such good hands here!
Let's do 1-2 t of LC and test at +6. I know you have to feed a little at +6 too but a little LC may keep him in these blues.
ooh okay sorry we crossposted/I was editing. I'll give him 1tsp LC now. He's not dying for food and I want to make sure the ondansetron goes down.Yay Kitty Cat
You are doing so great! I've only been engaged here for a month - I have learned so so much and know my cat better than ever (whom I've had for 15 years!). I'm sure you may have a similar experience!
Ha, no worries. I was so excited he stayed flat lol. He's doing great and so are you!
Kitty Cat came to me as a stray, maybe 6 months old by then. Brother brought him home and I said absolutely not, I'm allergic. Fast forward ~ 8 years and he's very much mine. It's just me and my sweet bean living together since March. I was so happy I could take him with me when I moved out and into my own apartment, keep a tighter lid on his food since he was overweight. But then he lost TOO MUCH! Then came the diagnosis.
1mg every 8 hours
