( I have no idea how to properly link my last thread). If this doesn't work, please help.

Happy Sunday!

Mo and I just got back from traveling this weekend. I had no one to watch him so he had to go with me to my mom's in PA to visit a very sick family member.

We left on Friday night during his shot time because of my work schedule not working out the way I wanted to. He would not eat in the car so I could not shoot him. I made sure to not leave my mom's until his shot yesterday.

I changed my spreadsheet to correctly label the dose I have been giving him. I was putting 0.1, but he is getting the needle dose so I labeled in ND. If this isn't what I should label it, please let me know.

I am concerned that I ruined his chance of remission with trying an OTJ trial and then traveling. Thoughts on this?

Also, people have said the kibble could be spiking his numbers to blue, but he gives me a very hard time if I do not give him the smallest amount of kibble. I barely give him any. I continue to give the young again because he does not always want to eat the pate and I do not want him to starve.

Any suggestions about the kibble and his eating? Should I continue with the needle dose since we are home now? I think his high numbers are from being in the car and just being stressed in general, could this be?

I appreciate you all!

Cait and Mo
 
You have not ruined his chances if remission so don’t worry about that. It just shows you he’s not quite ready to stop insulin support. It is possible his higher bg was stress too. We call the tiniest dose a drop dose. Give it a few days to see how he does. As for the kibble, it’s up to you. It does keep some cats a little higher but he seems to be doing ok. How much does he get?
 
A little less then an 1/8 of a cup in the AM and PM. I think he just likes the crunch to be honest. I am just proud of him switching from Friskies shreds to Pate. That was a huge change for him!
 
Vital Essentials make treats that are like kibble. My two have never had kibble and eat raw. One likes the treats but the other doesn’t think it’s good.
 
You can also give her a treat before you test
I'll give you some suggestions about low carb treats that some members posted
Here are some treats also
PureBites Freeze-Dried Cat Treats with Chicken Breast 2.3 oz ()https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071P

Also chewys has freeze dried treats also


The freeze dried treats you can get at petsmart, petco and order from chewy. Purebites is popular (cheaper if you buy the dog food ones). My crew like vital essentials it's dehydrated freeze dried raw comes in flavors

freeze dried minnows, made by Vital Essentials. I also buy the ones made for dogs. They're the same as the freeze dried minnows for cats. just cheaper. They also carry other freeze dried treats. I ordered mine through Amazon.

I think the vital essentials are more of a crunchy texture than the purebites

If you cat likes any of these you can buy the bigger bags for dogs they are the same ,you will get more for your money just break then up into smaller pieces
.

You can Google freeze dried treats and see what other ones there are and different flavors
Just make sure that is the only ingredient in them meaning turkey, chicken, minnows etc

Here is another one , I see you can get these in different flavors also just look
You may have to break any freeze dried treats in half if they are too big
