1/13 Kit AMPS 329, +1 282, +2 211, +3 163, +4 121, +7 97, PMPS 244

Ouch.
I know the feeling, of course. :bighug::bighug::bighug:
She was doing so well, showing nice normal range for hours at the time.
Acute bounce from those? Maybe a transient thing, so wait and see (this is the only thing we can do o_O)
Maybe because you were talking about dental yesterday?
Hope this is a little blip, and she comes down and stays down.

She had a substantial drop at onset yesterday and also went lower than she's been in awhile.
Did you feed after the test at +8 last night? How's the UTI? How's the 5Ps? My Cleo looks at me like I'm crazy when I'm disappointed by a BG reading. If she could talk I'm sure she'd say, "lady you're ruining my snack time." :rolleyes:

Yeah, the drop was big. No food after +8 - I had meant to pick up her food before I feel asleep at +5, but fell asleep faster than I thought (and either didn't properly set my alarm for +6, or slept through it). But there wasn't much in the bowl after I checked it at +4. I'm trying to not have food out past +4 or +5 (minus freeze dried treats when I test), but she's so slow at eating that I worry about her getting enough food. Although she could probably stand to lose a bit, so maybe it's okay?
UTI seems better? She's peeing normally (well, diabetic cat peeing normal). She cleans herself, she purrs, she's not super playful, but she's never been the most playful? The one I'm more concerned about of late is pooping - she sometimes will only poop every other day, although more typically it's once a day. The vet's thought is that pooping hurts because of the arthritis, so she waits as long as absolutely can. The vet is also still pro me using metacam - she says that the trials that brought about the black label had dosages that were too high, and the dose she wants me to use is much lower. I'm pretty torn on it, because the label is hella scary, but also I'd like to see her more comfortable.
That's pretty much my reaction and then her reaction. I give a sigh and say "dang it" and she just looks at me like, but what about post test treat, ma'am?

Hopefully just a bounce. It's just frustrating because there's all the different things at play, and I just want something that isn't complicated to happen so I can be less worried about going to a conference later this spring and having to leave the bf in charge of making sure it all gets done.
 
I apparently decided to take a little nap after her +4 test. Wasn't anticipating actually seeing a green this morning.

Maybe just a little blip like Kit said, nice +4 already. :bighug::cat:

Fingers crossed!

She came down nicely to blue today, Alicia. I know it’s not green. Maybe a bounce?
Glad she seems like she’s feeling well otherwise. Pretty girl. Hope you’re having a nice, warm Caturday with the sweet girl :bighug::bighug::bighug:

She weirdly hit green, which I didn't anticipate (also didn't anticipate the nap, but whaddya do).

It's such a delicate balance. Not sure what I would do in your shoes.

Yeah, I'm gonna think on it a bit more. She has an appointment on Tuesday, so I'll probably make a decision by then.
 
I'm definitely starting to worry about her. She always picks a spot and basically chills out there for however long until she decides she's moving to her next spot. She's been in her carrier a lot, which isn't unusual because that's one of the places she cycles through. But she has barely been out today, and it was a struggle to get her to eat for her shot. I had to break out some fish pate, which she hasn't really wanted for ages. I have a text into her vet, but definitely concerned. She's just not seeming like herself a lot today. :(

Oh poor sweet girl. I hope she feels better soon, Alicia. It’s good you’re seeing the vet. Maybe they will have some ideas. You are so observant of everything.
Sending you love and prayers for sweet Kit Cat to feel better, Alicia :bighug::bighug::bighug:
