Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I had family in town for over a week during the holidays, and I'm just now getting back into my routine and my groove.
Lilly has earned a couple of reductions lately (yay!) but I just feel like she's been perpetually bouncing since, well, forever. I just can't seem to find that relatively flat "Lantus" curve, nor can I seem to find a dose that is working toward regulation for her. In terms of clinical signs, urination has decreased somewhat, but still heavier than pre-diagnosis; she's gained weight; and she is eating MUCH much less, especially in the past couple of weeks. I was feeding 1 and a half 3oz cans of FF pate twice per day at shot time, (and leaving it out between meals). Lately, though, we've been giving one can per feeding (because SO much was left in the bowl), and she sometimes doesn't even finish that. Many days we are encouraging her to eat by sprinkling Dr. Elsey's or freeze dried treats over her food. Nothing else seems concerning about her behavior or otherwise, at all, though.
Anyway, I've held 1.5 for 10 cycles now, with nadirs in the green except for bounces. Thoughts on an increase or continue to hold?
