6/24 Yoyo AMPS 269,+4 71,+5.5 73,+6.5 69,+8 87,+9.5 81,PMPS 85,+1 104,+2 133,+3 132,+4 141,+9 148

Sorry I didn’t catch up yesterday but I want to recap why his SS looks like it does on this dose.

The big drop on 6/22 put him in a hard bounce. I always found this to be true with Gracie....bigger drops made her bounce much higher than lower numbers. It looks to me like that 430 yesterday was his high before the break as he cleared the bounce last night.

We need to stop those big dives and flatten him out. I’m going to suggest that when you get a yellow PS or higher, that you start out feeding the highest LC food you have...aim for 10% or the lowest MC food you have. Let’s see if that will help.

Good luck with the vet appointment today!

Thank you!
...I am confused....when Yoyo has a YELLOW or HIGHER PS you want me to give him the highest LC or lowest MC at 10%? Not when his PS's are BLUE? Please explain as I don't understand.
I believe my LC food is 1-4% and my MC food is 12-16%. Any food in particular that you recommend in the fancy feast pate?
I'll check the list again. I haven't had time to call food companies to find out about the NEW Products on the market. I don't know why they make it so hard to find out the carbs, as fed, in the canned food. I thought the label was giving me the info that I needed to do the calculations for carbs....go figure:)

I fed him MC and HC today late in the cycle to stop the drop as I am leaving. (I guess to keep him flat). Hope I did right - I don't want him going low when I am not home.

Giving him a higher LC food or lower MC food when he’s yellow or higher can help to keep him from tumbling. What I need to add is that this would be a technique to use when he’s not starting a bounce but is more likely to clear one. The extra carbs can help minimize those big drops early on from pink or yellow to blue.

Yes, you can still use those foods for lower numbers to flatten him out but the goal is the same....flatten the curve which will likely raise the nadir.

I’m not familiar with any of the Fancy Feast foods (or really any canned, commercial foods now). The conne4cial food companies often make it difficult to get the info you need.

You did right today and I hope the vet visit went well.
