Stalling. If I stall and he goes below 50, would that be a reduction?

I was surprised about the high number yesterday, but he may have gotten 1 piece of dog food. I use them as dog treats for my dog and it's possible he found a rogue one on the floor because we were training yesterday. I don't think it was a bounce.

Since you got a +11, there is no need to stall. He is kinda flat. Will you be able to monitor if you shoot?

 

[MarleyMoo]

Yes. I'll get another before shooting though, since we're already at 10 minutes

 

[MarleyMoo]

Well I just caught him on the counter eating the food I prepared him before testing lol

I guess he decided he had enough of your stalling his breakfast!

 

[MarleyMoo]

+10 minutes: 46!

I fed him. I don't mind shooting since I've shot at 55/60, but should I reduce his dose to 2.25U going forward? He's been creeping lower and lower

He definitely did! He knows counters are off limits, but obviously didn't care much

 

[Bandit's Mom]

Yes, he earned a reduction to 2.25U with that 46. We don't shoot below 50 though. What he ate is his usual LC?

Yes. He just ate. He probably came down because he hasn't eaten in a few hours. I'm afraid not to shoot at all because he has a history of sky-rocketing when not shooting and he gets very sick

 

[MarleyMoo]

I already gave the 2.25 after he ate because I didn't want to wait too long past his shoot time and assumed the 46 was a reduction

OK. Test in half an hour and see where he is.

Since he seems to nadir at the end of the cycle, it may make sense to set an alarm or an auto-feeder for +9 and get some food into him so he doesn't dip too low at AMPS to shoot.

You hold the syringe and know him best, but we strongly advise against shooting numbers below 50 - especially falling numbers.

I'm going to try and get him accustomed to the auto-feeder again because I'd like to use it. I just don't want him hurting himself again. Maybe now that he has lower numbers and isn't insatiable, he may not be so aggressive. He was eating probably 600 calories when he was in the 400-HI range and still trying to eat. So setting up the auto-feeder to made him aggressive and would tear up his mouth. Hopefully now that he's eating a bit more normal, he won't be feeling the need to attack it to get all the food he smells.

Excellent! Only LC?

Yes

I am glad it worked out fine this time but I wouldn’t shoot under 50 again.
