Yesterday

Nice low pre-shot for the PM. He has a habit of climbing pretty fast after pre-shot so I went ahead and shot. Too bad I was not home today to test and see how he did.

Hope everyone has had a good day.

I hope this is not an indication that he is going to throw me a curve ball tonight!

Good shootin' Tina! I hope you have some high carb wet food, plenty of strips and will be around tonight. Just in case of course.

This is a great start! I'd get a +2 test.

Re: 12/12 Frank PMPS 145 /+1 111

woo-hoo, frank's taking action!

i agree with Wendy - get a +2 so we see what he's doing. you might want to give him a little more food now, just regular low carb, to slow him down.

Looks like he is going to roll on down. What would you suggest? Maybe a quarter can?

Re: 12/12 Frank PMPS 145 /+1 111 /+2 96

A couple tsps should do it. Don't want him full in case you need him to eat later.

Re: 12/12 Frank PMPS 145 /+1 111 /+2 96

Okay, that's good. We mixed equal parts food and water and gave him a tablespoon.

Thanks y'all.

you'll want to keep monitoring until he passes his nadir and starts back up. if he goes under 80ish or so, you might want to move to testing every 30 minutes.

Re: 12/12 Frank PMPS 145 /+1 111 /+2 96

Hah... I got nervous... been testing him every 30 already.

you don't actually need to intervene with high carbs until he goes below 50.

if he does go below 50, pop open a can of the high carb cat food with gravy, squeeze out just a teaspoon of the gravy only and watch him snarf it down. :lol: then you wait 20-30 minutes, test.

if he's still under 50, repeat with a tsp of gravy. if he's over 50, wait another 30 minutes and retest.

lather rinse repeat.

you want to only give the gravy so that he remains willing to eat. giving some LC sometimes will help them surf - so that is an option if you know he'll be willing to eat if you need him to.

your solution of mixing some with water is a great one.

Looks like he is holding steady in the blues so far...

Aaahhhh Frank!! Look at you in those nice blues. Stretch it out and surf.

Good job, Tina!

you go frank! super numbers, tina.

 

[Tina and Boozle]

Still floating in the blues but coming back down. I'm not sure if I should stay up with him or if I can sleep for a few hours and then test or maybe give him some regular food and go to bed? Any suggestions?

 

[Wendy&Neko]

You could leave him out some low carb food and snooze a couple hours.
