yesterday

@Marje and Gracie, started the experiment of feeding a 5% carb food this morning and took a +1. Keeping fingers crossed that this helps even him out a bit.

Have a wonderful day everyone.

 

[carfurby (GA)]

Good luck with the experiment. I hope it flattens Jerry out.

 

[Debra and Yoyo]

I hope the 5% carbs helps Jerry. I'll be following you to see what happens. Good luck!!

Thanks Debra. Thank god for Marje, I'd be lost without her.

I don’t know if it was a coincidence or what. But when I started feeding Mowgli 5-8% carbs he started making his move!

Good luck! I hope you have great reaults

 

[Debra and Yoyo]

Thanks Debra. Thank god for Marje, I'd be lost without her.

Amen. She is one of a kind and I hope she knows how special she is to all of us. Marje gives me the confidence and comfort that I so much need.

Great to know Amanda. Hoping to flatten out the curve and get rid of those pesky bounces.

I know she's like a wonderful security blanket ha ha.

No you wouldn’t but I do appreciate your comments.

So far, so good....paws crossed. I love that he is flat so far....no tricks now, Jerry. We need to start seeing that flat green with a little blue again, sweet boy.

If you aren’t past +3 and he’s ok with the tests, you might want to check him just because he sometimes drops here. Up to you but his +2 = AMPS so it’s possible he will drop.

I understand. I'm trying to test every hour until at least +6 to see what he's doing. At the moment at +4 he's dropped to 182. Should I be concerned and get more food into him or do you think this number is ok?

 

[Marje and Gracie]

I’d let it ride and just feed him on his normal schedule.

When I look at his SS, I don’t see any big drops at +4 like some cats will do. He tends to drop by +3. He’s only down 60 from two hours ago and, while I doubt he dropped a consistent 30/hour, I doubt he dropped all that in one hour.

If you want more data, you can do a +5 but it’s also fine to let him go until +6. If he’s still flat upper blue, he’s probably ok for a longer time after that.

Ok thanks. He wouldn't let me out of the kitchen without a little food and I didn't have the heart to refuse. He normally gets a snack at +3 and didn't ask for it this morning. Just tested again and he's held steady +5 183.

That’s absolutely fine! We don’t want him to be hungry so feed his normal portions. Nice cycle!

 

[Marje and Gracie]

Just checking in. Hope all is well.

All is good. Just about to update his SS once I get a +4. PMPs was 286 +3 was 181. Missed a +2, time just got away from me. +4 is 93. I think I may need an 8% carb food for the evening. I'll get one more test in before I head to bed. Today was a pretty successful day I think.

Yes he took a bit of of a dive on you tonight between +3 and +4. And he had had 5%? Agreed you might need a bit more.

And yes...I agree he had a better day today!! Great job. No surprises, Jerry

I’ll check in as soon as I’m up tomorrow. Sleep well.

What 8% carb do you use? All my Friskie’s patés are 4-6% and 8% might be helpful for dinners.

He got down to 75 at 5:5 . I stayed up until he started rising. He had 5% carb food all day yesterday. I will buy some 8% today and feed that for the PM cycle today.
