10/3 Callie AMPS 351, intended increase and then a fur shot; PMPS 279, +4.5 204

Please increase her dose tomorrow. I'm thinking we might want to be a little aggressive and increase her dose every 3 days unless we see green. Let's see how it goes.

Thanks, Bhooma. We increased Callie's dose to 4U and then I gave her a fur shot. Callie completely bolted when the syringe went in. She has flinched occasionally in the past but hasn't ever bolted off the counter like that. I must have somehow hit a really sensitive spot. What a mess -- I am so mad at myself for missing and for hurting her. I'm really worried about Callie's numbers since she's starting out so high (her ketones were up to .6 this am so not a great morning to miss.) And I'm worried about how she's going to react now with future shots if something I did really hurt her this am. So not a great start today. I really really really hate this.

Don't worry we all have good and bad days... Tonight will be better !
Good thing you test for ketones regularly.
When you have a chance, put FS in the "units" column of your SS instead of 4 so we can easily see there was a fur shot.
Have a great day with Callie!

Sorry about the fur shot. Don’t beat yourself up. Just make sure she eats enough today and add water to her food. Enjoy your Sunday.

Thanks, Lyane. At least no fur shot tonight so ending the day better than we started it...

Thanks, Elise. Much to Callie's dismay, I started drowning her food in water as soon as I got the .6 ketone reading... but when she's hungry, she's usually pretty tolerant w that so she slurped it up with only a few irritated glances in my direction. Ketones were down a bit to .4 tonight.
Hope you had a good day.

Just saw your first post. Are you sure the shot was a furshot? Her numbers don't look different fromday before yesterday and and it's a nice-enough drop tonight.

Anyway, you get a night off.

Yeah, this time I am 100% sure - her fur was pretty wet But given that, I am not unhappy with these yellows and Callie is thrilled to escape more pokes tonight. Just left a message in your condo. Callie and I are thinking about you and Bandit.
