yup haha, wish he'd do this in the AM cycle! Thanks for the link, looks like I've got a 15g carbs one. He has had more of an appetite tonight though. Let's see how I go! (glad your time zone matches up with me)woah! new low PS! if you can monitor, shoot!
he should probably bounce at some point - or earn a reduction!
ETA: If you decide to shoot, it might be a good idea to figure out the carb% of the higher carb FF you have. See if it's listed here:
https://catinfo.org/chart/index.php
Awesome. I've pretty much followed the same protocol the last few nights, so I'll anxiously go ahead. Thanks! And yesss I'm scared haha
And I am speaking of when they go into the hypo green color.
haha exactly. Didn't see this in time, he jumped up a little since, so you think I should still give him a carb bump before offset?
yup I just waited the full 30 minutes before giving him his injection this time to drag it out a bit. So it turned out more like 10 later, I fed him a little earlier, but the actual shot time was only 10 minutes later.. If that makes sense!Good to know cheers
I do have lots of different types of honey. I know he will have honey in milk without hesitation and I'm thinking in really dire times that might be a way to get him up fast? I can grab some karo too. Thnx!Do you have honey and karo? I am asking because the 15% carb does not much for my kitty and I have been told that we need 20% carb for HC.
The honey does not much for my kitty but the karo sure did the job
Sorry I'm replying to these backwards, awesome will do that
Looks like he's still flat at +2.
Thanks!Sorry hope I have it rightAs Cherryl mentioned - please update your title
Should I give him a little low carb?
Yes please!
Good job shooting! Wishing you all a flat, lantusy cycle It's also a good idea to list when/what/how much you fed during the cycle, so that you and those helping you can go back and look at what did (or didn't) work previously. Most of us keep this information in our remarks section - you can see mine for just one example.Wow just looked at yours, that's so helpful, I'll start trying to do that. Where should I list his food?Hi Nate
When you have time, can you list out the name of each food you have? We have run into many situations where the caregiver thinks they have a certain carb food and it ends up being something totally different
Happy surfing
If it were me, I'd put it in the remarks but honestly, you just need to find a spot that works for you. For Jax, I'd just copy my remarks each day and if it was an active cycle where I fed MC or HC or veered from our usual schedule, I'd edit the remarks.
) so this can wait till morning - but if you list it out, we can help verify the carbs.
great idea, I'll do that first thing tomorrow!If it were me, I'd put it in the remarks but honestly, you just need to find a spot that works for you.

I was also kind of asking about what Medium Carb (10-15%) and High Carb (16+%) you have in your pantry at home. It doesn't look like you'll need it tonight (anti-jinx
You and Brian are doing so wonderful
We would call this Medium Carb (MC).
Thank you
Miss that kitty a lot. The one on the refrigerator is my civvie Benji and he's still here keeping us busy
I definitely can find that 20% one here, I didn't get out today to grab it but I will in the AM! That's a bummer they are hard to get for you. Do you use an alternative?We would call this Medium Carb (MC).
The only Fancy Feast that's high carb is the Fancy Feast Gravy Lovers Beef (it's 20%) - it's what I used for Jax but could be hard to find (here in the states there are supply issues with the aluminum can so it's not always on the shelves)
Thank you
good your busy. mine is keeping me super busy, we lost a dog earlier last year and still feels a bit odd without her, such is lifeYeah I did have a feeling that might be the pattern after the first lot of blues, had a big read up on cats with late nadirs and looked at spreadsheets with that too! I was thinking the exact same and did actually feed him at +9, he had an entire ff can, but no change, I don't think I've seen him have significant changes from the food at all, more so just seems when there's a bounce, so I'm starting think he'll not be a food spiker. Going to check him 30mins increments tonight I think. Trying to slowly bring the dose time back so I have more time in the evening to monitor without being up so late. Felt confident enough today to not make a new thread thanks to you allI see he's 59 today at PMPS. He obviously likes to nadir at the end of the cycle. Do you feed him anything in the second half of the AM cycle?
Maybe a snack at AMPS + 9 would prevent him from dropping too low at PMPS to shoot.
His pattern seems to be to nadir at PMPS and then head up. But the stretches of green are longer. It's so great to see that sea of green on his SS.Yeah I did have a feeling that might be the pattern after the first lot of blues, had a big read up on cats with late nadirs and looked at spreadsheets with that too!

I was always able to have a few cans on hand but there are plenty of other choices on the Food Chart. I also always had a few cans of prescription food that were high carb.
So sorry for your loss...yes all part of the circle of life
