Hey all. So Kit cat has been on a fat zero for a bit, she's holding pretty steady with blues at preshot values - do you think she should increase to maybe 0.1? Stay where she is?

Hope everyone has a lovely Sunday! Stay safe.

You could try 0.1, might be enough to just kick start her. As long as you can monitor of course.

What is your feeding schedule currently?

I can def monitor - currently not leaving the apartment except for essential needs.

Currently she eats about 1.5 ounces before her shot - this is a mix of 1-2% carb pate - sometimes she eats most of it, and sometimes she comes back to it in a bit. I usually add a bit to it after a couple of hours. At +8 she gets about an a ounce of 9% carb food (it was suggested at one point to try this to see if it kick started her pancreas). Rinse and repeat for the second 12 hours. She fasts for two hours before her shot, so she's usually pretty hungry, for her (she's a grazer for sure).
There was a couple of days a few days ago that I used a bit less of the 9%, and she seems to run higher those days. I went back to using more of it and she's a bit lower.

Have you tried giving her just 2% at the +8-+9 snack? There aren't any feeding notes on the SS, I hope you've written them down. Also, did you shoot this morning?

I did shoot this morning - is that missing from the spreadsheet? Let me run over and check it (this morning was extra tired morning and my brain was fuzzier than usual).

I also haven't found a way to track food that I like on the spreadsheet - I know folks use the notes section, and I can do that until I come up with a better solution.

The day before yesterday was the second day I had switched completely to the 1-2% food - she eats a variety of fancy feasts but they're all 1-2%. They get rotated daily or she won't eat as well.

I just wrote notes in the Remarks section, especially when I did something different or changed something regards food or medications. So if I needed to feed extra or higher carb, I'd note the + time and amount.
