Glen had a bit of a dip today but has been coming up this afternoon. He is supposed to get 2u bid. I am not home all day tomorrow so won't be able to test during the day.

Thinking of 1.5u?

He's bouncing from the low numbers. I think 1.5 might be a good idea. I'm going to tag a few others to see if they agree. Wait to hear back please.

Ok I will wait!

While you are waiting, hello and welcome from a former island girl.

 

[Islandmomma]

Ok I will wait!

I had to go ahead and feed. It's mayhem over here LOL

 

[tiffmaxee]

That is fine that you fed. You already tested and so we know he's not too low to shoot. Since they aren't responding how much longer can you wait and still be okay in the morning?

I gave at 0800 this am. It's almost 2000 now. I can give at 0800-0815 and then go to work.

Nobody is responding. I think 1.5 is fine. Get a +1 and +2.

I have to go out so will get a +2

 

[Chris & China (GA)]

Yeah I think we need to see how he'll do on the 1.5 and give him a few days and then look again (unless he drops below 50 any time)

 

[Wendy&Neko]

Sorry I wasn't on when you were asking about dosing. 1.5 will be fine. It's always easier at the beginning to go up than go down in dose.

Can I ask which island?

A +2 is fine. Max never told me much at +1 but some cats do.

BTW on this forum everyone posts no more than one condo a day rather than separate ones for each question. It's a lot more active than the main forum.

Yes! Just across the water from you in Nanaimo

Just across the water from you in Nanaimo

Cool - I am in North Vancouver. We have other members on the big island and on Gabriola.

+2 was 295.

Hopefully he is good tomorrow for AMPS and can continue with the 1.5u

 

[Chris & China (GA)]

Looks like he may be starting his bounce from those lows this morning

Remember, bounces can take up to 6 cycles to clear, so don't panic if his AMPS numbers are a lot higher.....just hold the 1.5

Have a great night.

Thank you! Yes, he was 284 this AM. Same as PMPS.
I will stick with the 1.5u for today.

 

[Islandmomma]

Thanks again for all your help! He was 284 AMPS. I had to check him a bit early before his shot today.
I am working on closing the gap from test/feed/shoot.

You'll want to hold the 1.5u for at least 6 cycles to see if the bounce clears and what he can do on this dose. It's better a little high than too low and best to let the depot stabilize instead of changing the dose too often. On SLGS you actually hold the dose for 7 days, do a curve and then increase if needed.

 

[tiffmaxee]

Let's see where he lands after the bounce clears and all that honey leaves his system. I'm glad that at least you won't need to worry while at work.

Oh I plan on it! Thanks!

I definitely will be keeping an eye on him and will keep him at 1.5

My mom will be babysitting today so she will at least be here to keep an eye on him. She won't test but will be able to tell if anything is grossly wrong.
