Good morning Pam and extra sweet Larry!
Bounce and rebound are the same thing....just different terms. I suspect it is a bounce...just keep on keeping on!
HUGS!

The REASON it happens is because their body got used to higher numbers. When you start hitting lower numbers, the liver panics and sends out more regulatory hormones trying to get it back to where it's decided is 'right'. It just takes time to overcome this. The more time we can get their bodies into lower numbers, the more the liver will get used to it.
KT has always bounced - he goes REALLY low then zooms up - he thinks he's a rubber ball even after almost 3 years. Dakota doesn't bounce nearly as much but he also doesn't dive really low either.
Patience is the key....
HUGS!!!!!

They bounce until they don't. Just hang in there.
For some extreme cats with a lot of test data, occasionally, folks have used a tiny (drops) supplement of a fast acting, time limited insulin, such as R (regular, lasts roughly 4-5 hours in the cat) or N (NPH, lasts roughly 6-8 hours in the cat), to help manage the bounces.

wow, well its good he got better.
larry got on the bed by himself again today and slept
i put a chair there for him, but i had been putting him up, and he was getting down, himself. sometimes he doesnt use the chair to jump down. its quite a leap. u can hear the breath get knocked out, bc hes so big and its a wooden floor.
hope it wont hurt his legs. theyre better but not totally normal.
