((((Kathy and Kitty)))) I hope he'll get a numbers bump soon so you can sleep. Can you leave out HC when you go to bed?

eta: I'm not saying that he needs HC to keep from dropping, we really don't know that. But I know if he were my cat I would feel better with HC on board just to be sure. He can recover from the HC easily enough tomorrow.
 
i'm sorry, i don't know the answer. continue testing and feeding small amounts until you see a rise. use hc if you want to. it shouldn't take long to bring the numbers up. definitely do NOT give a shot tonight.
 
Re: 2/17 Not wanting gravy!

He has NEVER EVER turned away from gravy. He is eating the A/D, but he refused both chicken and beef gravy. nailbite_smile

This concerns me.
 
A/D is 13% carbs, so that should be enough to help. Remember, if you get too worried you can always add a drop of Karo to that. Stay calm. ;-)
 
just looked on the charts... AD shows up as 13%. that's not bad. will kitty eat a little of the hc gravy hidden in some of the AD? :-D
 
Re: 2/17 Rejected combo also

I mixed a bit of the A/D in the gravy, and he refused it. Now I've heated some A/D and just laced it with a little gravy. He tasted it -- that's all. I don't understand it, he LOVES gravy.

I'd be less worried if he hadn't dropped that last 15 points while eating the A/D! But Karo on the gums is always an option if it comes to that.
ETA: Uh, not on the gums, dummy, he just had a dental. Leave his gums alone. ohmygod_smile

Test again in...1 hour from last test?
 
Re: 2/17 Kitty + 24.5 70

Love what 13% carb can do!

He is still hiding, and his tail hangs low instead of high -- must mean he's not happy.

I'll keep feeding small amounts of A/D, leave some overnight. Will test again in an hour to make sure he's holding steady. If next test isn't as good, I'll stay up until it is.
 
I think it's ok that he doesn't feel great. He DID have a pretty bad day, for a kitty. He's allowed to be a little under the weather. Glad the number is coming up so you can sleep soon. ((((Kathy))))
 
sounds like you have a good plan in place. i really don't think this will go too much longer.
am pretty sure the next test will show it's safe to go to bed. you have to be beat...
 
I'm wrung out, especially since I stayed up feeding him until 2 last night, and then couldn't sleep for worrying.

It's one of those nights I wish he would sleep with me. I will hate to leave him alone. But I'll bet he'll be fine having some privacy and peace. :-D

But just another day I'm so grateful for everyone here. I can't imagine figuring out how to care for Kitty through this without the Board -- let alone get through it myself.
 
lol! he's probably thinking... "when is she going to go to bed and leave me alone?" :-D
when you do go to bed, make sure you leave food out for him (i think you do that anyway).
sleep well tonight...
 
Re: 2/17 Kitty + 25.5 72

That's on just a couple of tsp. A/D right after the last test. After this test, he didn't want the A/D I offered.

I'll hope to get a few more bites into him, and I'll leave food out. He had a rough day, but I hope he'll feel better tomorrow.

After discussing with Jess, will not give more bupe tonight. We'll see how he eats and acts tomorrow.

Everyone here is wonderful. Thank you all.
