I think you’re ok. He’ll most likely decrease later in the day or tomorrow. I’ve noticed that you’ve been steadily increasing his dosage which you might have to continue do if he doesn’t get into a lower range in the next couple of days.
Only advice I can give is to get rid of all dry food out of the house because they will track it down!
I am in the process of weaning my last cat off the stuff (I have two more than Merlin). She would rather starve to death than eat the meat out of a bowl of wet food. She is an expert at extracting all of the moisture out of the chunks. She also hates pate or anything like real food. She’s a stubborn little pill. I went cold turkey with her in the beginning of Merlin’s diagnosis, but she refused to eat anything else. I have read the info about getting them off the stuff and Ive yet to find anything that works. Im slowly decreasing the amount of dry I give her, but she still refuses anything but wet food “gravy.” At least its lc…
Thanks, Suzanne. Isn’t it funny how he ended up getting down to the same numbers (even a little lower than) he has been at for a few days at this time?
Omg funny not funny. Hope magical merlin is doing ok after his carb fest
Thanks for asking! He seems like he’s back to normal now. He laid around all day with his feet straight out like he’d eaten a dozen donuts. Silly kitty. We will see shortly if his bg has recovered…
I wish we could get Dr Elseys here! It would help my other kitty move on from the donuts!
Heres to hoping there is another alternative you can find. Although being food driven with a good appetite is a good thing for Merlin
I have only ever been able to order DrE’s online ( im in california)
Cant find it in Ireland, sadly.
At this point in your journey, you only need to worry about him snacking in the couple hours before shot time if he's in lower numbers. You don't want to shoot a food influenced number if he might be too low to shoot without that food influence. In higher numbers, just shoot!
I spent a while this morning searching for lower carb dry food. Trouble is, many foods arent available in Ireland, and I have had appalling luck with the postal service here. I did order some from zooplus to try. Oona is so stubborn she is even picky about dry food, so we will see. I ordered Fortiflora to sprinkle on wet food, but she is also pretty smart, so I dont think it will fool her into eating it. I so want to get her off that crappy high carb stuff.
