Last Condo

Was not expecting a low pre shot this morning. He cleared that bounce fast. Hoping for a calm day.

 

[Sandra And Buddy (GA)]

Looks like its going to be another one of those days. Stay out of the Shark pool!

Really Buddy? Up a little please. It’s too early to be so close to the sharks.

I know! Right?!?!

Looks like he might stay a little flat as long a I keep him propped up a bit.

I hope Buddy keeps surfing safely today.

 

[Sandra And Buddy (GA)]

Well he had another great cycle. He has only gotten out of bed a few times today to drink or to go pee, I have had to bring his food to him in bed. I don't think he has pooped for a couple days so I started him on some mirilax. He is walking slower than usual. Not a happy kitty right now.

41 at +4.5, How long does it usually take for the larger depot to drain?

 

[Sandra And Buddy (GA)]

45 at +5.5 This is a tough one tonight, at least he is eating.

It can take up to 6 cycles for larger depots, but considering how much you have to work to keep him up and this is cycle 4, I think he has definitely earned another reduction tonight. I am around for company!

Try honey if HC isn't enough or he gets too full. When's the next test?

Not too soon for another reduction? Thanks for being around

48 at +6 fed him an even higher HC 27% see if this does the trick. not too worried as 48 is basically 50

 

[Sandra And Buddy (GA)]

Will test again in 30 mins

I think not. Not with with the cycle you are having. Have tagged @Wendy&Neko and will also tag @Gill & George since she should be around soon as well.

He is heading up! (if we don't talk meter variance! )

 

[Sandra And Buddy (GA)]

48 at +6.75 Pulled out the honey this time, gave a large drop in his HC food

Hopefully that will get him up. What a night!

 

[Sandra And Buddy (GA)]

Will reduce to 4.75 in the morning, can always take him back up.

 

[Sandra And Buddy (GA)]

Hopefully that will get him up. What a night!

Ugh! seems like I haven't slept for a week. Kitties should only be allowed to do this during non sleeping hours! LOL

If only we go to choose!

65 at +7.5 Whew finally, No food will check in 30 mins.

FINALLY! Last meal was 45 mins ago? At +6.75?

 

[Sandra And Buddy (GA)]

Yes! but that had honey too, so there will be a test coming up in about 15 mins, that will be about an hour since he ate. Hope he keeps up.

 

[Bandit's Mom]

Let's see where he's at then. I hope he won't dip again once the honey wears off.

 

[Wendy&Neko]

As a long term diabetic, the TR threshold for reduction is under 40 or one week in greens. Alternatively, if it's a cat that doesn't hold reduction well, you can use three drops between 40 and 49 on separate days.

 

[Sandra And Buddy (GA)]

Back down a little 54 at +8 fed some MC and will check in about an hour. I think we are on the other side. Hopefully.

Wow. Down again! This is like a do-over of 2 nights back and he held that reduction and how!

Do you recommend no reduction then? I don't think he has ever had a failed reduction that I can remember. I know protocol says no reduction (although 41 is pretty close) these drops do make me a little nervous. But, I also don't want to mess things up! Maybe I should just hold where we are and see where he is in the next day or two, What do you think?
