This is clearly subterfuge on Bubba's part to get more yummy fuds!
It's the FF Gravy Lovers I was under the impression that it is about 18%.Tomorrow let's talk about the % of carbs in the HC you're giving.
Maybe he needs something that has more carbs...
Oh, he is loving this! He's got his dinner bib onThis is clearly subterfuge on Bubba's part to get more yummy fuds!
Hahaha! In all seriousness, I know you were worried about his weight a while ago. Is he back up to normal?Oh, he is loving this! He's got his dinner bib on![]()
Good.I gave him 2 more tsp. Going to check in another 30.
I'm ok for now. If he drops into the 40s, pull out the syrup.If you're tired Jill, I am okay. As long as he doesn't get into the 40 range I won't freak.
I wish I could give you a number, but I can't. At the time you'll have to analyze how much it took to get his numbers up and if it appears they'll stay up for an hour or two.If he does come up, at what number can I feel like I can go to sleep at?
He has put 2 lbs back on since the ketones ate him up. He was 15.6 yesterday and he had gone down to 13.8 . Before FD, he was 24 lbs! That was too much mind you, the vet wanted him to get down to 20. At the time of DX he was 19 and then continued to drop. He is looking good now and I wouldn't mind another 1-2 lbs on him as he is a huge cat. He is like a small bob cat. We called him the "Bub-cat"Hahaha! In all seriousness, I know you were worried about his weight a while ago. Is he back up to normal?
Oh, me too. I think the next test in about 15 mins, if he isn't coming up I will put a couple of drops of Karo in his HC.Took another look at his ss:
If he's in the 80s at +10, I would feed and run to bed, BUT I hope you're able to go to bed before that.
That will help for a little nap.A karo bump should last about an hour...



Thanks Shane, there's always tomorrow, Scarlet. So glad I don't have to be anywhere tomorrow.Bub-cat! I love it. I'm so glad he's put on some weight. And double-glad that those nasty ketones are behind you!
Good luck tonight. I hope you get a bit of sleep.![]()

Good to know.It's the FF Gravy Lovers I was under the impression that it is about 18%.
I was never able to take naps throughout my lifetime... until feline diabetes.
Now I can catch a 15 minute nap and wake up on my own! LOLOLOL!
Oh he sure does. He's eating this up, literally.....Looks like Bubba wants his beans undivided attention tonight.....well, that or more of that yummy gravy!!![]()
It sure seems that way. 5 u wasn't enough, so where do we go? A fat 5 ?at least he's holding steady, but it's taking a lot to keep him there.
He might be done with this dose, Bobbie. I would have loved to see him hold it longer, but if it takes this much work to keep him safe we'll have to reduce the dose...

The one I gave tonight is Gravy Lovers Chicken Hearts and Liver Hearts and I did not see it on the list. The closest to it was just plain chicken and I think that one was 20%.Depends on the flavor....ranges from 20% to 22%
Does she like organ meats?Ooohhh....that's a new one for me...never seen that flavor!!.....but better not tell China....she'll want some....now.....LOL

5u might be enough now. I think I'd rather see you try 5u again before messing around with fattening the dose. Sometimes it only takes a couple of doses to get things moving again.It sure seems that way. 5 u wasn't enough, so where do we go? A fat 5 ?
I'll take him back to 5 tomorrow AM. During the last 5 cycle, I had 2 mishaps with fur shots, so maybe that screwed up the momentum with that round?5u might be enough now.

Besides, if it doesn't work, there's more than one way to get things done around here...
Bubba just may be better off with a little less Lantus and reintroducing R again. Let me pow-wow with Libby about that tomorrow to see what she thinks.
Could be. Who knows?so maybe that screwed up the momentum with that round?
We are waiting for mouse hearts and guts gravy lovers.....I think as hard as he's being about coming up, I might try the 5U dose again
Chicken & Liver is one of her favorite low carb varieties ....and I haven't found a "Gravy Lovers" she didn't love
YUK!
Make that was a prolific hunter. He has been house bound now for a month tomorrow. It is making my life so much easier although I feel badly for him. He doesn't get any exercise now.You can say that again!!...But I know what a prolific hunter Bubba is so I'm sure he'd love it!!
Good idea, but leave some food out for him.He is 73 @+7 . He usually starts to go up about now before he comes down. Maybe I could get a hour sleep and wake up and check on him?
Sounds good, and thanks a million!Good idea, but leave some food out for him.
If I'm still up, I'll check back with you... otherwise I'll catch up to you tomorrow.
I think we'll be fine. He doesn't get any exercise now.![]()
