Well done Pepper! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: Keep on surfing.
This dose is looking good. Interesting that Pepper's SS is still missing the yellow color this year.

Pepper dropped to 38 @ +10.5! What do I do now? I gave him some gravy.

Short term, you get another test in 20-30 minutes. ;-)

Re: 1/4 Pepper AMPS 159, +10.5 38 What do I do now?
Nancy,
High dose kitties make my brain freeze. And I see you have shot on some low numbers before. But nobody shoots under 40, do they? That decision is still an hour and a half away of course.

Feeding is good - can you afford to delay your PS?

Yes, I can delay as long as necessary.

OK, let's see how high he is at the next test. I know you've shot in the 50's before but best case we'll know how he's doing two hours from the last feeding. Fortunately it's easy to get back on schedule if only out 1/2 hour.

Now he's 55. Should I feed some more or wait?

Re: 1/4 Pepper AMPS 159, +10.5 38, +11 55
I'd wait to see if he'll come up more on his own. If you feed more, you'll be delaying PS at least 2 more hours.
FYI - just reread the shooting low numbers sticky, and one option if you test in the 40's this close to PS is to test again in 15-20 minutes, without feeding, to see if they are coming up on their own. Neko once tested 40 at PS, I waited 20 and she zoomed up so I could shoot. Below 40 it's a bit tricky to wait.

It's good to know that about testing in the 40's at PS. At least we won't be very late if he starts rising now.

Re: 1/4 Pepper AMPS 159, +10.5 38, +11 55
Unfortunately the other sticky option doesn't work for us acrokitty beans because it says to feed a small bit of LC and keep testing until kitty rises. But in our case, that LC could cause a drop.

He's 67 at +11.33. Maybe he's decided to start rising on his own!

Should I reduce more tonight to drain the shed a bit or just reduce by .5 units?

It wouldn't hurt to do the reduced dose like last time. Let's see what he is at shot time to determine the amount.

He seems to be surfing in the 60's now. Should I wait for him to really start rising before I shoot?

The last test was 1 hour 45 minutes. 10 more minutes will be 2 hours.

I want to make sure the effects of the HC have really worn off so you have a true number before shooting. It does look like he's been surfing the last hour here. And looking at his SS, Pepper seems to get a boost for a couple hours from HC then slide down. I was looking at December 30th as one example.

Re: 1/4 Pepper AMPS 159, +11.33 67, +11.75 62, +12.25 63
I think it's up to you. You could either wait 15-20 minutes then retest and shoot. Or shoot now if you think he's just surfing. In either case, I'd get a +1 and see where he is. Since you are thinking of shooting a reduced dose, I think you are OK with shooting now. A delay is a bit like a reduction too.

Re: 1/4 Pepper AMPS 159, +12.25 63, +12.75 48
Darn, that's the worst case scenario. I was worried about that when he went flat and didn't start rising. This seems to be something new for Pepper.
OK, options are to stall another 20 and see what he's doing or perhaps skip. I wouldn't recommend shooting less than 50.

8 or 9, but leaning toward 9. He's eating right now and I'll decide in a minute - unless you have an opinion.

We can always hope. He didn't zoom after the HC. I hope you get some sleep soon.
Good job tonight Nancy. Going low at PS time has been my worst fear cause inevitably it means a stall.

Still not as high as I was expecting, but at least it's up and not down. Maybe I'll set my alarm and get another a test in a while. Have a good night, Julie!
