Hi Pat.
Sienne told me about the honey instead of MC or HC to slow a drop and I have found it to be very successful with Sheba. Because Sheba drops very quickly once she decides to, I find the honey acts quicker than food and therefore slows the drop quicker. Certainly since using it we have had better numbers. But we also upped the dose. So it is probably a combination of things.
With the honey it is trial and error. I usually only use the tiniest drop. You will get to know how much you need. If it is earlier in the cycle I usually need more than if it is later in the cycle....but not always. That 's cats for you!

I would start off with a tiny drop and go from there. If you look in the comments column of Sheba's SS I have written down every time I have given honey and food and at what time in the cycle.
