12/4 Shooter AMPS 441 | Feline Diabetes Message Board - FDMB

Little stinker snuck into his brother's kibble this morning when I was in the bathroom! Surprised he wasn't higher than 110 at +6.

@Suzanne & Darcy @Summer and Susie (GA) @Bama Kitty Mom Hey all! Not sure what to do... Shooter has stayed pretty low all day. He's at 83 now. Go ahead and shoot his full new 3.25 amount?

 

[Heather & Shooter]

I went ahead and shot his full 3.25. Shoot low to stay low, right? He almost ALWAYS bounces, so we'll see...

 

[Bama Kitty Mom (GA)]

Get a +1 and +2 to see where he's headed.

Congrats on shooting your first green! I would have tested at +9.5 to make sure he didn’t drop under 50.

I couldn't. I had to go back to work. I have a feeling he did go under 50 though.

Just checking in after a long day. How’s he now. That’s kind of scary him being that low (50) when you are at work. Are you able to leave food out for him while you’re gone?

 

[Suzanne & Darcy]

And how’s Dan doing today?

+2 165 will check again at +4

I work split shift, so I was home at that time. I fed him LC because I assumed he'd be heading back up. He usually nadirs between +7 and +9 with Levemir. Dan is better day. He's still pretty crooked and can't be on his feet for real long. Unfortunately, he can't get into the dr until the 14th.

What about a chiropractor? Has he done this to his back before?

 

[Suzanne & Darcy]

I’m glad he is up to 165 … well, I mean I am glad he’s in safe numbers. I don’t want the bounce

Good to see him back in blues and greens!
You've shot lower levels before (many moons ago!). Looks like he is boncing.

Yes, it started about 4 years ago when he fell on black ice in Michigan. He has a couple bulging discs. He had injections in his back and physical therapy. He's been good until the other day when he lifted his leg to put alcohol on a bug bite. Chiropractor makes him nervous with a bulging disc. He'd rather see a dr. again.

Yep he's bouncing. He was just 217 at +4.

 

[Suzanne & Darcy]

Traction can help, I know from personal experience. So can PT. He has probably done that before.

Yep, when he first injured it they did steroid shots in his back and PT. He was good for a few years until now.

Sorry, Heather. I just saw this. I'm not on this site all the time since Susie passed. He is bouncing now but keep an eye on this dose. He came "so" close to needing a reduction.
