Hi Everyone,

I had to go out of town for a few days last week so I boarded Kismet at the vet. They stopped giving him insulin injections on September 30th (I think his last injection was the night of the 29th) and we are one week into an OTJ trial. We go back to the vet on the 16th for a checkup.

I switched him over to Before Grain 96% Chicken and Quail. I checked Dr. Lisa's new food list and thought we'd try it. He doesn't seem to be as crazy about it as FF or the DM, but he eats it!

Hope everyone else is doing well :)
 
Glad to see you back and what wonderful news abut Kismet!!

Here are the instructions we use for an OTJ trial:
  • Test at your normal AMPS and PMPS times. Feed multiple small meals throughout the day as much as possible (small meals are less likely to overwhelm a newly functioning pancreas).
  • If your cat is green at your normal test times, no need to test further until the next "PS" time, just feed small meals and go about your day. If he is blue, feed a small meal and test again after about 3 hours. If his number is lower 3-4 hours after a meal, then his pancreas is working!
  • After 2 weeks, if everything is looking good, we have a party!

Sometimes the trial doesn't work the first time and we have to give a little more support in the form of resuming insulin. It's not the end of the world if that happens, we just give him the support he needs. Our goal is a strong remission and it's better to take our time to get that than to rush into remission just to have it fail later on.
 
Welcome back.
Glad you are here.
I hope you are able to do the frequent small meals.

I found a lot of foods from the updated list today too. My girl likes variety so i have some new ones to try.
She would never eat the same one meal after meal.


So.
let's see , this is the 7th day??


Happy Day Seven, Kismet !!!!
