Totally! Now she just needs to behave, so my last 95 strips holds the rest of the monthBack in business!
haha, 8 stripes a day... you test more than that when she is bouncingTotally! Now she just needs to behave, so my last 95 strips holds the rest of the month
And now I've said it out loud she probably won't
i think you should stock up
I'm an addict to testinghaha, 8 stripes a day... you test more than that when she is bouncing
))))))))))) i know exactly what you mean, every time i hear in my head a voice that if i won't test now and he goes under 50 and we intervene too late i won't be able to forgive myselfI'm an addict to testing
I'm trying to think "is this test necessary?" I always end at the decision that it is!
These last two months I'm using 100 more strips than usual
today in the morning i tested a 52 (2.9) and i bit myself up for not taking a +1 i am trying to test less when possible just because i don't want to turn Chico's kindness ( ) for letting us test around
Exactly! How is the pricing on your testing gear?))))))))))) i know exactly what you mean, every time i hear in my head a voice that if i won't test now and he goes under 50 and we intervene too late i won't be able to forgive myself
Its abt 11euro for 50 strips, all in all the testing is the most expensive part with Chico’s diabetes, even considering the vet
we didn’t research much if there is a cheaper glucometer, we just bought the first that was in the pharmacy near by and it is convenient in case we need to buy strips in 1-2 days.
67 euros for 100......Its abt 11euro for 50 strips, all in all the testing is the most expensive part with Chico’s diabetes, even considering the vet
What abt you?
67 euros for 100......
but we have to consider as well that Czech republic has different category of salary, respectively prices let's compare the Mcdonalds Big Mac price (i heard it's a real price comparison indicator ) to see how far off the stripes are ))) in Czech Republic it's abt 3.3 Euro
10 here... I believe its about 75DKK for a regular. Burger only is 4.3 euro. Or 30DKK.
Rent is 766 euro. Retirement pay is 1748 euros.
Correction, without the taxes I'd get the full amount of 2555 Euros with me, if I moved out of the country. This is stupid....why I'm I living here?!?!?!
haha, when we moved here 12 years ago half a liter of beer in a pub costed 1 euro
now the prices went "crazy high" and is about 2 euros (in the times when pubs were a thing).
Looks like Mauer is bouncing today, when we have a calmer cycle we have a rule to test at +2, +4 and +6 and we feed him at those times as well. We start redefining what a calm cycle is as wellSelf-pity that's me today.
Now I'll eat some Buenos and resist the urge to test Mauer
I need some kind of guidance to reduce my testing, I think...
when we see he doesn't dive we (mainly my husband pushes me to) try to let him surf without us bothering him too much. It doesn't look like we bother him too much when he jumps on the table when he hears the microwave (we heat his rice sock there)
I don't get that chart
Is your taxes 39%?i guess you would have to pay the taxes anyway here or there
Since January Czech republic decreased the taxes so now i pay abt 20% "only"I don't get that chart
I believe it is. I can't get a libre either, even if I wanted to. The prices is ridiculously high because human diabetics gets support from the government.
Is your taxes 39%?
which is about 10% less than what we used to pay before new year, only that our Chico was diagnosed with diabetes in January so all of our surplus money are long gone ))Republic of Moldova, beer there is still Euro, of course salaries are corresponding as well
Mauer doesn't mind being tested, but financially I need to save a bit. She's insured, the first 140-ish euros I pay every 125 days, then I get 80% back. Even then, yours is cheaper
She's costing me a food budget for a single person in a month!!!! Just in her supplies. Then comes litter, food canned and raw, dog food, insurance for both cats, the dog and the rabbit. Hay, woodpellets. Expensive pets I tell you!!!!!
but i know what you mean, and the stripes are the most expensive in the entire process and we don't even have Chico insured so it was all a bit of a surprise to us
So sorry she vomitedI know I said I wouldn't test, then she vomited fluids... no bounce here
The Lev is just kicking in now..
why do you have to give her pain killers?
Yeah, these are the cheapest for the biggest amountSince January Czech republic decreased the taxes so now i pay abt 20% "only"
Republic of Moldova, beer there is still Euro, of course salaries are corresponding as well
Ohh but come on, you have a full house of adorable pets: 2 cats a dog and a rabbit, that sounds very cool
Did you check for other glucometers? maybe there are other that have cheaper stripes
She's limping. Has been for the past year or so, but since yesterday it's gotten worse. So just gave her some meds to see if it helps. It usually does. And she's fat...really fat, so jumping down of things is hard on her joints and soSo sorry she vomited
67 Euro the cheapest?Yeah, these are the cheapest for the biggest amount
Denmark is really more expensive than Czech Ohh, i am so sorry she is in painShe's limping. Has been for the past year or so, but since yesterday it's gotten worse. So just gave her some meds to see if it helps. It usually does. And she's fat...really fat, so jumping down of things is hard on her joints and so
Do you think her limping is related to the weight? Is it her that was underweight and then went quickly after switching to raw to overweight?
Really really expensive!67 Euro the cheapest?
Ohh, i am so sorry she is in pain
how much is she now? Did she manage to lose some weight? what is her goal weight?
I'm weighing her once a week........ still she gained half a kilo. She's getting 50g of raw in total.... it makes NO sense that she hasn't lost more. I've been doing this in 6 months, and her total weight loss os 270 GRAMS. No you're not reading it wrong. That's why I wanted her checked for cushings, since she was difficult to regulate on prozinc....
7735 this Tuesday
well, if pot belly is like having swallowed a big balloon.... we're there..
i know it might sound a simplistic solution but maybe weighting her food would help you figure out exactly how much she eats a day and if it is obviously little for her weight than you know to search the cause somewhere else. We bought a scale for Chico's food because we wanted to know how much we are feeding him, in order to make sure we don't overfeed him. Now we know that if he loses weight we have to add food, if he stays the same we can keep the amount...
And yet, she's not hard to regulate. Or a high dose kitty...
The raw comes in 25g small balls. Then there's the canned food, she gets teaspoons during the day. At PMPS I make a bowl with a bag of 85g, two tablespoons and a heck of a lot of water.... and she doesn't eat that much of it...
let's say you give her 1 raw ball of 25g + let's say 4 teaspoons x 5g each+ 85g + 2 tablespoons x 10g (this is a guess)= 150g a day. If this is what you feed an 8kg cat than this is too little for her to maintain 8kg without losing weight. Chico is 5.7kg and we give him 175g raw food per day. Canned foods recommend for his weight from 230 - 280g depending on their caloric intake.
Well, I fed 150g of raw - as recommended. And it said BOOOM!
