Thank you! I’m trying to limit seafood and organ meat foods. Shouldn’t these only be given sparingly? @Diane Tyler's Mom

To tell you the truth Tyler never ate treats , I'm sure besides using them for testing and giving insulin you can give some more throughout the day. I would post and ask about it

Is the Purina ProPlan Classic Urinary Tract Health Classic ok? I can’t find the Classic in that flavor on the food list. I just ordered chicken, turkey, and shrimp treats. I will use the shrimp ones once in a while. Thank you! @Diane Tyler's Mom

Yes the classics are fine, which flavor were you looking for
Yes I see some said gravy on them like the chicken and some say classic , they are both fine

Ok! Thank you! I would like to get the chicken classic and chicken and beef gravy but I see the chicken flavor may be out of stock. @Diane Tyler's Mom

Vital Essentials treats come in many different flavors and are 100% protein. They look like dry kibble so much so that my current two don’t think they are edible as they eat only raw.

Yes definitely , Those 3 days that you will be home you definitely need to get the AMPS test to see if the BG is a safe number to shoot.
With new members we suggest not to shoot if the BG is under 200, we suggest to stall don't feed and test again 20 minutes later to see if it goes up on its own
You can post Need Help! Stalling
Now hopefully you will be able to get another test in before you walk out the dorr for work, Say at 8:45 to see what her BG is
I know you said it takes you and your husband to test and give her insulin but you really need to try if you are by yourself to be sure she's not dropping to low
Those 3 days that you will be home try and get a test in at +2 +4' at +6 for both cycles
Cats usually nadir at around +6 that means the lowest point of the cycle but that's not always the case
The next day get one at +3 and at +5 for both cycles
Then the next day around add a test in at +7 and 9
It's like filling in the pieces of a puzzle
Just do the best you can
While she's on Vetsulin still if her BG drops below 90 you decrease the next dose byb0.25 units

I’m trying to get everything ready for my three days off…on day 3 can you clarify what times I should get BG…you said to add a test at +7 and +9…do you mean both cycles and add to what times? @Diane Tyler's Mom

Just try to mix up the times you test , doesn't have to be exactly what I said but it's close. Yes these are for both cycles
