Hi everyone! So here we go again with the diving. I’m using food to try and steer him from disastrous numbers. He’s been a bit crazy with his numbers from the bouncing and the depot but me thinks he might be needing a little less, no? I have to steer him with food when he does these periodic dives and yes, I know, a reduction is earned below 50 but he seems to plummet quite quickly even with the food. I’ve got the HC in line to use for the next reading or 2 if he continues on down. I know I should hold on it til he is in the 60s but hopefully he will plateau and surf so I don’t have to use it. Thoughts??

You are doing a great job steering him with food! He does like to dive. I'm wondering if HC was too much at +5.25, but he likes to nadirlate so it may just be what was needed

Well I will be honest, I gave a few pieces of kibble at +4.75 and he still went down. That is why I decided on a tsp of HC at +5.25

HC kibble?

HC kibble?

Purina NF -so probably. Just gave a tsp of 12%. Let’s see what I get in half an hour.

You can wait an hour to test. He is higher.

You don’t think he’ll slide down from the HC before that?

An hour from the last test will be roughly 2 hours (1.5 to be precise) from the last HC. He is high enough and it's late enough in the cycle that he should be okay even if he dips a little.
