The liver is very good for them but don’t give too much each day otherwise it is toxic. Very safe to feed as long as only a couple of bits a day.
The other looks ok. Has several veg in there that isn’t necessary but should not be high carb I don’t think.

Good to know.. I should probably just find some that is only chicken, or salmon? They can have much more of that right? I don't like giving too much fish stuff either.
I might just stop the Instinct one with all the ingredients, you never know, ugh
 
So we are at 10.25, and Loki is hanging in the low 100s (SS is up to date). This happened last week on Jan 3rd, where his AMPS was lower like this. I'm getting nervous the same thing might happen. If it is, based on last week's advice, basically I should either give a token dose, a half dose, or the full (now reduced after tonight) 0.5U based on how I can monitor. I have no issues monitoring today if I give 0.5U. If I give a half dose, it would be half of the now 0.5U we are reducing to right, so 0.25U? Isn't a token dose 0.5U anyway?

I'm also going to start another new thread to continue this after this morning's dose.

It’s probably easier to have a chicken or beef one that you can give as much as you like. But a bit of liver is fine.
I feed my cats a raw diet that I make myself and I give 5% liver a day of the overall amount fed.
If you are feeding a wet diet they would already have liver or vitamin A in it so you would not want to give much. Most cats love it. It’s fine to give a bit.
You may be able to look up the other one on the list and see how many carbs are in it.
 
He looks like he’s heading up. See what he is at AMPS. I’m heading to bed so won’t be awake but you could tag @Bandit's Mom although she hasn’t used Prozinc.
As the new dose is 0.5U… a half dose would be 0.25 U.
A token dose is about a 1/4 or less of the current dose.
With DKA in the recent past you don’t want to skip. If he’s already up to 149 at +10.25 he could teach 200 by AMPS.
I think he will likely bounce from the greens. I would give at least a half dose if he’s around 175 and a full dose if he’s around 200 as long as you can monitor and have supplies.
