Hello, and Happy New Year :)
Willow is just not wanting nighttime greens, I guess. She's a bit higher this morning, but also tried to bring up a hairball just before the test (just liquid). Eating well.
She's still drinking and peeing like a racehorse. Really hoping to see those symptoms subside soon. Also still super hungry. We've cut back a bit because she gained a bit, but my, the guilt.
With love, Nikki

Hello, just checking to see if anyone might be around a bit later for advice tonight if needed...Willow just gave her first night green, which is also her lowest green yet :) Wondering if I should check earlier, or would +4 be fine? With love, Nikki
 
Hi Nikki, Willow is looking good tonight! I see you got a +4 test in.
I will stay up for another hour or hour an a half if you need any advice. Congrats on the night time greens :D:D:D
 
Hello, and thank you :) I'll grab a +5 in around 15 minutes, hopefully she'll be up a bit or at least holding.
With love, Nikki
 
Hello again, she's up to 86 :)
Do you think it's alright to leave her a couple of hours? I was thinking of checking at +7 and +9 (she seems to be developing a bit of a dip around +8 or +9 the last couple of cycles). Do you think I should check more or less often at this point? So new to this. Thanks so very much.
 
Hi, looking good!
If you haven't given Willow any mid or high calorie food in the last two hours, it means she is holding her own and +7 test should be fine. Has she had any food since recently?

She had 1/8 can lo carb FF pate at midnight, just after the +4 feeding.
 
That's her usual feeding routine; then there's a chicken meat snack in her feeder for +9, but we were thinking of switching that to a bit of her lo carb FF pate instead, as a just-in-case.
 
Ok, so the low carb snack at +4 shouldn't be much of an influence on her numbers. I think you should be able to wait until +7 for another test.
 
Just wanted to add that you were right to be vigilant, as the +3 number after PMPS was a big drop. It seems Willow has done a nice job of surfing so far tonight.
Get that +7 in for sure and a +9 for piece of mind since these numbers are so new. I'll be up for a little bit longer. Let's see if @Bron and Sheba will be around after that just in case!
 
Oh! Do you think it would be a good idea to change her +9 snack of 2 frozen chicken cubes to a bit of lo carb FF canned? Or leave her meal routine as it is? Thanks!
 
Hello, thank you so much! her +9 is up, at 5.7 (103) :)
I'd planned on another test at +11, but we're exhausted, Willow is getting too ear sensitive, and I don't think it will give me too much info at this point, so I think we'll steal that extra bit of sleep and skip it( unless you suggest otherwise)
Thanks so very much for being there for us.
With love, Nikki

Yes I think you will be fine to get some sleep now. You must be exhausted.
Willow has had a great cycle and should be fine til AMPS:D
