Looks like another dose reduction! Thankfully I came home this afternoon!

Good thing you came home in time. Yes, it looks like a reduction is in store.

Sorry, I think I've asked this before, but please bear with me...does he get food through the cycle when you're not at home to feed? You want to avoid
drops below 50 that could have been prevented by feeding. Avoid a reduction that is not "earned" so to speak. Keep them at a dose as long as possible.

No he doesn't because my other cat would eat it. I tried doing the frozen thing the other day and Shooter wouldn't have anything to do with it. Pepper (the healthy one) stood there and licked it until it was gone. lol

Can you separate Shooter from the other kitty when you are gone? Buy an auto feeder to leave food out for Shooter? Just to keep him safe?

Well, I can look into an auto feeder, but I did already reduce his dose. We'll see what happens.

And... he's +6 44! This is a very strange 24 hrs for us! Looks like another late night...

This is still the previous 2U depot at play. It can affect 4-6 cycles after a reduction. Looks like he wanted that reduction

Oh ok. I forgot about the depot. So tomorrow morning I should still give the 1.75 and stay there for a full 4 - 6 cycles regardless of what happens?

4 cycles would be good. If he dips again in the 4th cycle, that would be another reduction. Let's see how he does.
For future reference - reductions earned because there was no food on board often fail, which is why we recommend feeding them through the cycle to avoid one - to the extent possible.

Wow. He is on a roll. Did he drop despite meals through the cycle?
