Somehow I missed the second part of your message last night about the possibility if a bounce this morning and to ignore it. I must have been tired. I gave her the same dose (1.25 units) and didnt lower it as I said I would. I guess we'll just have to see how this goes. If it drops below 90 again, I will definitely lower to 1 unit. And Id been thinking I needed to raise it before the drop. I guess I still have a LOT to learn about this.
Karamelle is eating well this morning and acting fine.
 
Who knows whether she went lower than 51 yesterday. No wonder she is bouncing! When following SLGS, you need to reduce if she goes below 90, which she has done. You can reduce to 1.0 units tonight.

We determine how to change the dose based on how low the dose takes the cat. And try to ignore the bouncing - it happens with almost all cats. We reduce if they go too low because we don't want them to even lower into dangerous hypo range.

I get it, if everything else that day had been normal. But it wasnt. She threw up her breakfast and may not have eaten anything until I syringe fed her after +7. Wouldnt that be taken into consideration? Im honestly not trying to undermine what you are saying. I would love to lower the dose, but Im just wondering if this only happened because she threw up and didnt eat. Im trying really hard to understand all this.
 
Sometimes upset tummy raise the numbers. We honestly can't say what would happen if she had not thrown up. So we take at face value the numbers we see and don't play "what if".
