I posted last time because it looks like Sunny is flirting with coming out of remission. Since then he had a dental cleaning and extractions on the 17th, and his bloodwork showed stage II CKD. He's getting over the dental very well, and we finished his antibiotics last night. We've switched his food to BFF Play chicken checkmate and topsy turvy which are lower in phosphorous for the CKD. Although it's a bit higher in carbs: 7%.
I've been monitoring his numbers and he's in the blues all day until evening when he dips into the low 80s.
Do we go by the nadir to be able to judge if he needs to be back on insulin again? How can I tell when/if it's time to consider him out of remission?
We are leaving him in the hands of our house sitter for 10 days this Friday and I'm worried his BG will spike while we're gone... she will not be checking his numbers while we're out unless he begins to act unwell.
