We've got blue numbers!! After doing another fur shot yesterday and him staying high, I wasn't expecting such a drop today. Maybe the higher dose helped. I bumped him up 0.25 units last night.

I'm still having a hard time getting him off his butt when he plays. If we can get him more under control that will help the neuropathy. I really hope we start to see him leveling out soon rather than jumping up and down.

Yeah for blues! Sometimes you can see a little action a couple cycles after a fur shot.

You did increase a little early because of the partial fur shot, more details here: Reminder: Counting Cycles

I saw the note about possible forgetting a shot on the weekend. I remember how crazy things can be first thing in the morning when you are getting up, cat yowling for food, testing, feeding, loading syringe and shooting(?). So I put together a log book. Each day, after every test and every shot, I or hubby if he did the test/shoot, would write the results in the log book. It took barely any time and gave me something to refer to later. Another trick I've seen is people putting 2 syringes on the counter for the next day before they go to bed at night.

You are right about raising early. I wasn't even thinking about the fur shots which was silly of me! Another thing I was wondering... in the TR guidelines it said if the kitty is new to numbers under 200 to hold the dose for longer. I thought about waiting longer but since I was still seeing higher numbers I worried and impulsively increased him. I probably should have waited.

I like the idea of leaving 2 syringes out! So simple, but helps me keep track of if I shot or not. Thanks for the tip!!

With recent DKA, I think it was OK to raise the dose. It was also higher blues you were seeing. Plus he's not really new to blues, he's seen even greens on smaller doses.
