Thank you. I was thinking 0.50U. Force feeding went better than expected. Got about 1/2 oz into him and will try and do every hour?? (now I am the one thinking out loud).With so much going on Lizzie I don't really know what to suggest, we will also have to see how high he is at shot time.
Understand that I am thinking aloud here, to give you something to mull over between now and shot time.
He dropped below 50 on the last dose of .62u though that was just 3 cycles from the previous reduction. Given his lack of appy, and that assist feeding is difficult with him, I would be perhaps think of shooting less than the 0.62, whether 0.5u, or 0.37u given that he is yellow at the moment. I'm just not sure, if he were to really rise up by pmps, you may even need to think of more insulin..... I'm out of my comfort zone with this one, having never had to deal with a situation like this myself.
I've send a PM to Wendy, just in case she doesn't get an alert from the tag.
I'm glad he is eating some, hope he continues to do so.
Think 1/2 oz at a time? Every hour til +6?
I think you will need to play it by ear to some extent. But that seems a sensible plan to have.
Understand. I have to have some sort of schedule in place but I do understand that it may change. I don't do well flying by the seat of my pants.
I understand
We all have lives outside this place .3oz? 5.5oz?
Highest LC I have is 5%. Which he has never had. It is Soulistic Lamb. I can mix MC with the Tiki Cat.
Tiki Cat is pretty high calorie, just NO carbs.
Thank you. As I suspected we are just dealing with a bad pancreatitis attack. I will try and get the values into the SS tomorrow. I am running on about 3 hours of sleep, adrenaline and caffeine right now.
You're welcome, I wish o could have been less wishy washy with the advice.Thank you
It helps to "talk" it through with y'all.
Thank you. Some vacationI wanted to post earlier, but didn't want to clutter up your condo when all the important stuff was going back and forth.
You must be exhausted, Lizzie! You are doing amazing with him.
I'm glad Gizmo is trying to eat a bit on his own, I hope this quiets down soon and you can get some much needed rest. He is so lucky to have you!
Ok, thanks. It is going to be a balancing act because if he goes low I need to be able to give MC or HC. Glad he is getting calories though. I think that is good.Lots of hugs. The one time I had to assist feed Bubba, less more frequently seemed to be a good plan.
It is slow but he is consistently going back and eating the Tiki. I just grabbed a few different kinds. Going to run back out tomorrow and get a few more. Wish I had some ideas on a 4-5% carb that he would like. Going to take some work to get him back to his regular diet.So happy to hear he ate on his own, means his tummy is feeling a little better. What a day you had
Double check the calorie count for the Tikicat. The food chart has it listed as higher calories, but the calories listed on the can are much lower. At least this is true with the flavor Gizmo eats. I just don't want you to think he is getting more calories than he really is.
Ok, will do. For tonight I just want him to eat.Double check the calorie count for the Tikicat. The food chart has it listed as higher calories, but the calories listed on the can are much lower. At least this is true with the flavor Gizmo eats. I just don't want you to think he is getting more calories than he really is.
Hope he continues to eat and that he surfs safely tonight.
Soulistic Upstream Dream is 5% (248 phos) & Polynesian Picnic is 6% (244)
Trying to stay away from fish except for an additive to entice. The Soulistic Lamb dinner is 5%. Haven't tried it yet but he isn't wild about Soulistic by itself.
Just not very much, I hope It is enough. Thank youGood news that Gizmo is eating. Sending lots and lots of vines for continued good eating and for feeling better.
I was bumping up Uncle's Tiki Cat Puka Puka Luau (0%) with Weruva's Pumkin Lickin' Chicken (13%) and he seemed to like it. I don't think either one is very high calorie though so I'm not sure this is helpful info. I was avoiding fish as well except for tempting him.
