Re: 11/27 AMPS 318 +3.25 166?

I'm not very good at reading spreadsheets, but it looks to me like Lovey wants to stay in those nice blues, but her liver just isn't used to it and she keeps bouncing. She's headed down fast today. Have you tried experimenting with MC food to see if you can slow her drop and keep her surfing?

She held the blues today. :razz: I didn't get a test in between today due to my kid's sports. I gave a fancy feast chicken feast at +3. I usually leave two small snacks when I go to work.


Thanks Carla. No, I added a another small LC feeding when I am at work. I wanted to test her without too much feeding to make sure the cycle is safe if Lovey doesn't eat her extra food when I am at work , but that is an idea ... What percentage would medium carb be? I have ff feast classic, fancy feast chunky chicken, and weruva chicken that she eats. I think they are all low carb. I think they are pretty low. She eats funk in the trunk weruva (8%) but that has fish in it so I don't want to give her that too much.


how much do you feed Furball? How many times? I know you had to reduce recently so that's good.

MC is usually considered between 11% to 15%.

I feed Furball 3/4 of a can of LC (9 Lives Tuna & Chicken or 9 Lives Super Supper or 9 Lives Seafood Platter) in the morning and leave the food out for her to graze on during the day. I can't use an autofeeder because I have other cats and I can't be sure Furball would get the food. I also can't come home at lunch and feed when I'm at work. I also feed the same in the evening. Before I go to work or to bed, I give her extra food if I think she'll drop too low. The amount depends on her numbers.

When she was first diagnosed with FD, I tried feeding in the morning before work and taking the plates away and doing the same in the evening, but it didn't work. She didn't have anything to eat during the day or night if she started dropping and the kitties all seemed like they were starving. I know it's not ideal to leave food out all of the time, but it works for my kitties. They seemed much happier and healthier when I started doing that.

Oh, I see low carb is 1-10 and Mc is 11-15%

It seems to working for Furball. His chart looks good and he is feeling good.

I can't home for work either so I leave extra food out as well. Sometimes my husband can get out for lunch to do a test. Thanks for the information and have a great rest of the day.
