Yes. When that happens the count starts over as to how long to hold a dose with SLGS. The numbers are looking good despite those things which is why I would hold a little longer.

I didn’t know. I hope it doesn’t mess things up at that I have her insulin at her normal time.

Had I waited a bit longer would her amps have likely gone higher?

Most likely. Sometimes though if you stall and don’t feed the bg goes down making it too low to shoot. That’s why if you have a very low shootable number it’s best not to stall.

That being said if not sure whether to shoot, always stall, don’t feed, and post for dosing advice.

Now you’ve got me nervous that I shot too low. 250 seemed like a very comfortable number this morning.

NO! You need to start shooting anything over 150 now. If you want a second remission you need to be aggressive. Once you are more comfortable with low numbers TR will give you the best chance.

What did I say that made you think you shot too too low?

I'm sorry, I misread. My nerves are wracked. I thought that you said had I stalled, her numbers may have come down too low to shoot today. I need coffee and a moment to breathe before I post it seems.

My work schedule will not allow me to comfortably follow TR. I’m often not home from 3pm-midnight.

Jades at the emergency vet… straining to pee and clearly in discomfort. I had to leave her so they can see her in between appointments. I am beside myself.

Looks like Jade is home. Is it a uti? Hope she feels better soon.

She is home and it is a UTI. She got a Covenia shot, subcutaneous fluids and some gabapentin. Had to leave her at the vets office so they could squeeze her in after a couple of surgeries. Thankfully there’s a vets office right down the street and she was too uncomfortable to fight me when I put her in her carrier. I felt awful as I’ve never just left her somewhere before but I knew she was in the best place just in case something took a turn for the worst. Spoke to her regular vet afterwards. That wasn’t great. I am going to hold her dose for another 10 days or so which is when I’ll be able to give her a curve. It’s when I’ll have a full day off again. Thank you for checking up on us.
 
Sometimes an antibiotic is not enough to clear up a UTI. I've given Furball D-Mannose along with the antibiotic to clear it up. You can buy capsules and break them open or buy it loose and add 1/4 tsp in the food a couple times a day. :bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug:

You can also give the D-Mannose if you ever suspect she's getting a UTI and may not need the antibiotic.
