Bit of a bounce last night/this morning. Not concerned. He usually clears them quickly.

It looks like Rudy is already clearing that bounce. I hope he heads back to the lagoon and surfs for you soon.

 

[Bobbie And Bubba]

Too be expected and hope he clears in quickly. He'll be back in the lagoon before you know it!

 

[Jen1218]

Was out all afternoon. Got back just in time for TFS. Based on his PMPS - someone was in the cookies while I was gone. I'll have to check his cardboard box for crumbs.

 

[Bobbie And Bubba]

Come down Rudy!

 

[Jen1218]

He heard you.

 

[Jen1218]

Looks like someone earned himself yet another reduction.

Rudy's had 6 reductions since 5/8. And he's only had 3 cycles at 3.5 units. Do I take another reduction? Are so many reductions in such a short span of time normal?

No, back to back reductions aren't recommended, but some cats insist on them. Rex was one of them. It took him only 2 weeks to earn an OTJ trial and he was on 3 units!

 

[Bobbie And Bubba]

He's racing down the dosing ladder. Some kitties do that when they hit the dose that makes them snap. I would take the reduction. If it fails you can always go back up. He's looking so good!

Cool. As long as this reduction race is not out of the ordinary - he'll take another one in the AM. And my kid has been looking pretty good lately - hasn't he?

I did give him a blop of MC with a blip of syrup at the 84. I want him to stop speeding along to 50 so I can go to bed. I'll retest shortly.

 

[Jen1218]

Got up to use the bathroom. Ran a test. 33. 33?!?! Holy s***!!!

Spoon of HC with gravy and syrup given. Monitoring.

He seems fine. Wandering around and acting like his normal self.

 

[Barbara & Uncle (GA)]

Wow, good thing you gave him that MC with syrup earlier, who knows how much lower he would have gone!

 

[Jen1218]

So much could have gone wrong...

53 at +9.25. Gave another spoon of HC. No syrup this time.

 

[Barbara & Uncle (GA)]

Your taking that reduction for sure tomorrow morning right?

 

[Jen1218]

Absolutely!!

79 at +9.5. One more spoon of HC. I think he should be safe now. Will continue to monitor.

 

[Barbara & Uncle (GA)]

In a situation like this I would give usually give Uncle LC food and make sure he is holding his own for 2 hours after the last MC or HC food was given.

 

[Jen1218]

I just checked him again. 87 now. 30 minutes since his last spoon of HC. I'll give him LC now so he surfs.

 

[Barbara & Uncle (GA)]

Sounds good! Congrats on ANOTHER reduction. Rudy's really doing great.
I'm going get some sleep now.

 

[Jen1218]

Thanks for being here through our crisis. Sleep well.

 

[Sharon14]

Wow Rudy!!!!

 

[Jen1218]

I know!! And he's due for his insulin soon. Gonna be a long day here...

 

[Mandy & Rex (GA)]

I hope a pro will chip in, but another option is to skip to drain the dept then start the reduction tonight so you don't need to worry at work tomorrow.

 

[Jen1218]

I'm home, so I can watch him. I prefer not to skip a shot. Plus he follows SLGS vs. TR. Shots are only an auto skip when bg is under 90 at the preshot as far as I know. Not sure if it's different with TR.

 

[Mandy & Rex (GA)]

No it's not different. I was just giving you another option.

 

[Jen1218]

Thanks. He's going to take his reduction. And maybe a little MC mixed in with his breakfast.
