Haven't posted in a while. But Durie continues to do well. She is at full weight now (10 pounds). She has regained a lot of muscle (can jump heights up to 3 feet, and bound-up stairs of 15 steps). This is in contrast to when she was found emaciated, weighing less than 5 pounds, and unable to stand (Sep 2012).
Foodwise, in April she started leaving her food unfinished. She eats Friskies Turkey and Giblets, which should be approx 8% carbs according to charts found on this site. Her food serving was reduced from 5/5 to 4/5 in late April, with a corresponding safety drop in dosage (from .75 to .5 unit) to avoid hypo or overdose while her food amount was reduced. Her levels pre-am and pre-pm are more steady since the change.
I want to transition Durie out of Friskies to Fancy Feast Chicken pate, because Friskies has rice as an ingredient. She seems used to her her new food amount to start transitioning. I know it must be done over a week's time to avoid shocking her system.
Any input, ideas, questions, or critiques welcome.
