Yesterday
Hmmmmm a blue night and start to the day….
Already thinking ahead to when i might want to go back to 0.5 and wondering to myself how much inconsistent 0 lines on my syringes (see yesterday post) are playing a part ….

Give him time. He took his time settling into the previous dose as well.

You do however, want to check if the plunger lines up to zero when fully pressed when you first use a syringe. At such a small dose, it can make a big difference

+2 79… I do wonder if a bit of the blue I’m seeing is mini bouncing from bg’s in 50/60’s yesterday I got a 45 that retested as a 61 5 minutes later (that’s how long it took for me to convince him to let me give a retest) so perhaps that was a bit low for his current comfort level. I’m trying to stick to lc but maybe when I see a drop at +2 some mc might not be a bad idea.
And yes I am absolutely going to be more aware of my syringes 0 marker! I checked Amazon.ca for the ulticare ones recommended by @Elaine Lai but I don’t see them available here so I might try callipers first as you showed. Thanks!

The last 3 cycles would have been the previous depot. From today you will see what he does on 0.25U.

I think folks in Canada only have the option of BD Ultra Fine syringes...I could be wrong. I've seen the Sure Comfort brand on some Canadian websites - but those don't have 100% accuracy on the markings front either. I've used callipers with them as well as Care Point Vet syringes (available in the US).

Herman has been doing great. Give him some credit. I think he likes to prove you wrong all the time.

Yes, I think I’m trying to stay positive and proactive while not allowing myself to be too disappointed if we need to wiggle back and forth a bit between these tiny doses….especially given the syringe discrepancies I now need to keep in mind. Thinking they might have accounted for some of our low days so I wonder if maybe he hasn’t actually earned a proper reduction yet! We will see! Overall, Herman in the last week or two has really had a turnaround with his neuropathy and watching him run more often and jump a bit and being a cheerful boy has really been great. Couldn’t be happier and don’t want to lose any of his progress! Go herm!

Fingers paw toes crossed and patience pants on!

Seeing them feel better and become more active is sooo gratifying keep going Herman!
The caliper thing with the syringes is enough to make my head spin... best of luck with that, hope they help you with consistency at these teeny tiny doses.

 

[Jackie and Biggie]

I hope the decrease holds. He seems to want it based on previous numbers!

I had no confidence in my dosing until I started with calipers. I had them for awhile but didn’t use them until the last few weeks when his doses started getting smaller.

I’m so glad Herman is feeling better! I love hearing (and seeing) about his latest adventures.

I have been using calipers for a few months now and I love them, they are life changing. Took a bit of math to get there which I struggle with but it was worth it. We just grabbed them at Canadian Tire, any digital ones with a locking wheel will do, the ones with the shorter ruler part are easier to handle. If you do decide to pick them up and need a hand I can help, or if you are using the BD syringes I can give you the numbers

Thank you! I will need help for sure
