4/26 Nao AMPS 306, +3 236, +5.5 265 PMPS 313, +3 278

Hi. Which antibiotic did he get and how long is the course? You might also want to give him a probiotic like S. Boulardii since antibiotics destroy good bacteria along with bad. The S. Boulardii will reduce the chance of tummy upsets from the antibiotic.

It's good you switched to TR. You can get him to a good dose sooner. For newly diagnosed cats, proper treatment can help getting them regulated faster and even increases their chance of remission. With TR, you would increase the dose every 3 days till you see nadirs under 200.

Hi! The antibiotic he's on is Unasyn, he will be on it for 7 days. I haven't heard of S. Boulardii here in Venezuela, but I could try looking for it

When should I test again? I'm super sleepy but I can set up an alarm. I could aim for a +6 or +7.

With Lantus (Glargine) a +2 is usually a good indicator of how the cycle is going to pan out:
  • If the +2 is around the same as the PS, it's going to be a pretty normal cycle....gradually down to nadir and then gradually back up to the next PS.
  • If the +2 is a lot higher than the PS, that means there's a bounce starting and it's OK to take a break from tests.
  • If the +2 is a lot lower than the PS, that's an early indicator that numbers might head a lot lower and you need to get some more tests later in the cycle.
He's not much lower at +3,s o I would just call it a night.
