Look at Rufus!

My BK is the poster kitty child for what a difference healthy teeth and gums can make. Once he finished his 10 days of antibiotics the free fall started for us.

I’m glad you took the .5u reduction today. Being he was up to 6u, he does have a large depot which has potential to add fuel to a trip down the dosing ladder, if he is indeed going in that direction.

Keep your eyes on the road and your hands on the wheel (and possibly one foot on the brakes).

A slide down the dosing ladder can be a very emotional ride so it’s good to solicit feedback as you navigate this post dental period.

Thanks! Hopefully he goes down nice and slow. These bounces are getting to me though, they really are something! I'm sure we'll see it for a few more days now though, from the decrease. He's been sleeping almost all day, I think the low numbers are getting to him.
 
I liked this "from my perspective... the problem is you're equating bouncing as a problem. :D
until a cat is tightly/well regulated bouncing is normal. thank g_d kitty bounces! that means his body is doing exactly what it's supposed to be doing... Mr. Liver is on the job and working! this is a good thing. once Mr. Liver gets used to what it feels like to be in lower numbers he'll start relaxing a little. he won't become panicked when seeing those lower numbers. eventually, Mr. Liver relaxes enough to say,"hey, this isn't so bad. i kind of like feeling what it used to be like... before diabetes." that's when you'll see a lot less bouncing and eventually flat cycles."

I guess bouncing is "normal" just freaky when you go from 96 one day to 512 the next

That's exactly the bit that shifted my thinking. As far as epic bounces go, I just choose to think my cat is interested in space exploration and occasionally has to go to the moon to see if it's really made of cheese! ;) Looks like Rufus has some similar interests.

And I just knew something was up with him this morning. Happy, purring, cuddly, and ate his entire meal. Yup, he sure enjoys being in the reds and blacks :rolleyes::banghead:
