Re: 2/16 Oliver AMPS 445
Good luck with this dosecrease, guys. Someone once told me that in order to bring the #s down, you need to go up in doses. That really is true.
FWIW, I remember a time before Blackie and I joined this board that when she was on ProZinc, she was on 8u BID (my former vet and I butted heads about that). I also remember a time when Blackie was finally on Lantus, she went up to 5.25u before she started showing me better and better #s, and we began the descent. However, we did go back up again briefly, though. Just the way it is.
Now, I'm not saying that Oliver may require 5.25u as the max... He may require more, or he may only go up to 4.25u. At this point, he's telling you what he needs. You'll know when he needs less by telling you with his #s. All I'm saying is be prepared if he requires a lot in order to help him bring those #s down. Every cat is different with regards to their own specific needs. Right now, even though things look bleak, and discouraging, it will get better in time. I know it's extremely frustrating, especially when you see other kitties' #s looking better and better each day, and Oliver's are still high. I remember those days all too well. We've all been there. We've all been discouraged. You DO have the knowledge and support from this board to help you at any given time.
Hang in there, ok? It WILL get better. :YMHUG:
We are hanging in there and I am seeing this to be true. Making more sense daily.
