Think it is plus me being an idiot with the fur shot didn’t help the poor creatureWhat the heck? I guess it’s from that lovely string of green and blue. He will get back there.
That happens to everyone around here eventually! If so, are we all idiots??Think it is plus me being an idiot with the fur shot didn’t help the poor creature![]()
Stop running yourself down! You are a kind person, I can tell because of all the animals you have! Cut yourself some slack. You've got a challenging cat. I'm proud of you.Lol thanks but am not only about the fur shot think there’s something else I do wrong & I don’t get
Naaaaaw thank youStop running yourself down! You are a kind person, I can tell because of all the animals you have! Cut yourself some slack. You've got a challenging cat. I'm proud of you.




Thank you so very muchIve done at LEAST 6 fur shots...up to this point. Poor Shai really seems like he is going to be a bit tougher to get regulated. Dont get down, amd just keep pushing ahead.
about the increase and the ketones, we could ask specifically Bhooma @Bandit's Mom , Elise @tiffmaxee ...these two women are my go to for dosing advice.
I also have gotten some help from Melissa @FrostD ... but she is doing a different insulin.
Maybe Wendy will be available to help @Wendy&Neko
Hope this helps a lil bit. Also, read through the TR rules again! I still have to read through them!!![]()
think he’s still bouncing on the top of it all I’ll see in the morning but think it’s time to increase ooooh the fun of the 0.25haha. That is why i use the calipers!Thank you so very muchyes it helps a lot

Thanks lotsYou are good to increase to 2.25. Once I got calipers I got much better results. You are still on a relatively small dose and just haven’t hit a breakthrough dose yet.For Max it was a fat 2.5 and nearly a year to really be done with bouncing.


Yes it’s what I looked atHave you seen this?

People have figured out the increments with several different kinds of syringes. I used the ones Marje used and the same calipers so I didn’t need to compute myself.
Thanks I’ll do it right awayBouncy boy!
I think he's just a cat where glucose toxicity settles in pretty quickly, so you'll have to be on top of dose increases as soon as he's "eligible" for one. He bounces so hard that he loses a little bit of progress with each one.
@tiffmaxee Elise just double checking - still a green light to increase with a possible fur shot 7/4 AM? Those high greens came two or three cycles after it.It's not in dose column but is in remarks.
Dinah - when there's a fur shot, even if you're not sure, we put something like "fs" (furshot) or "pfs" (partial fur shot) in the dose column. So on 7/4AM instead of 2U, it would say either "pfs" or "fs". Fur shots do reset the cycle count for TR.
As I wrote above my opinion is to increase. Shai is not new to blue and green. It’s been long enough to recover from the fur shot whether partial or not. I know times I thought I gave a fur shot some got in. Even if a full fur shot I would increase.He just dipped into blue for an hour today but then right back up into pink then red. He’s getting trace ketones on this cycle. I’m very concerned about the ketones with his history of DKA and Dinah says that he’s gone from trace to a lot of ketones within hours. I think that Dinah should still go ahead with the .25 increase. She monitors him very closely. @tiffmaxee what is your opinion?
Thanks, Elise. I think so too. I just wanted to make sure you still thought so after his brief foray into blue today. I hope you are having a good day.As I wrote above my opinion is to increase.
