DOSING QUESTION

Dolly was doing better numbers wise on 1.25 units. Is there such a thing as elevated numbers on an increase for more than a few days? Too much insulin? I apologize for asking probably a stupid question but I am frustrated and feel like I have been flying blind, making dosing mistakes. I feel like by now I should be more informed, obviously not. Any input would be appreciated if only to let me know my question makes no sense. I have researched on my own but to no avail.



Sending healing prayers to all the kitties and their caretakers that are not feeling their best

Good morning from Our Dolly Girl

Adrienne,
I think Dolly's SS looks like you know what you are doing! Overall, her numbers look nice and healthy, and have for a long time!
Don't be shy (I don't think you really are, lol), and post a question mark in your title any time. I failed to do that enough, and held doses for too long at times.
Your Dolly looks like a real DOLL

I don’t think it’s too much insulin. I think it might possibly be due to the pain. She might need another increase but I would give her a little more time on this dose while you sort everything out. I would not decrease.

Thank you for your kind thoughts Jan. I am definitely not shy but I feel like I should know the answers by now. I’ve read and read and somehow I got lost, got way too tired, heaven forbid made mistakes. I am just confused with the trend of Dolly’s numbers. Admitted I’ve lost perspective by running myself into the ground. I feel I am running in circles . Want to get it right for my Dolly. If I need to stop chasing greens, I am really ready to do that if that’s what’s best for now. Thank you again for giving me a boost with your kindness. Wishing you and Tina Marie a beautiful day.

Thanks Elise. Maybe she need an increase on her Bupe to twice a day. Need to get it figured out.

It’s hard because bupe can cause loss of appetite.

Want to know why her greens went out the door with her increase. I know there are no answers but it doesn’t make sense. We worked so hard to get her tightly controlled . I’m so confused.

Thanks Carla, so far her appetite has been great, at least the last few days. I started giving her the ZiwiPeak last night for late night, early am, snack. I hope this isn’t raising her numbers. I gave her a pretty small amount and she didn’t finish it. Still ….. Hope you, Furball and Kitty had a great day.
