... and a nice slide. A bit picky about her normal raw food, but the begging suggests the heavy testing days gave her an expectation of more sardines in her life

Expected after that lime. Didn't last long though

Is it appropriate to mix a bit of 10% or less in with her raw early in the cycle to help slow the descents or delay her nadirs? Hers seen to come early

 

[Bandit's Mom]

Yes, for cats that dive at onset, feeding a little higher carb to slow that drop is a good idea. Bounces are triggered by sharp drops as well as lower numbers.

Thank you, I was looking for something like that

Any idea what the carb count is for the Pierson raw recipe? I follow it strictly, only adding 2tbs psylium per 9 lbs thighs

No idea. Must be pretty low, I imagine. Let me tag a couple of people who feed raw:
@tiffmaxee
@Rainbow Conti

Glad I fed some carbs at +2, she's 47 +3

 

[Bandit's Mom]

More carbs and a test in 30 mins.
(This is still the previous depot affecting her numbers.)

 

[Little Man's mom (GA)]

So I use the ez complete powder and havent used the Pierson recipe before. But I know carb count of the ezc is less than 1% so I cannot imagine the one you use is much more than that. I hope that helps I use canned cat food if I need any kind of carb to boost his numbers up if needed.

+4 51, should I give her a little more 12% or wait 30 & see what she's doing?

 

[Bandit's Mom]

Give a little more 12%. Let's take her up since there is nothing to prove.

 

[Susan for Maus (GA)]

done. I'll test at the 30 mark now, and again to give this latest food a chance to kick in.
I realized my 2 & 3 times were closer to 2.5 & 3.5 and have adjusted the spreadsheet accordingly

 

[Susan for Maus (GA)]

75 +5, I'll get a bit of sleep and test in 2? hours

 

[Bandit's Mom]

I think you might be good for the night. Feed a little raw before going to bed.

Thank you
