The Ups and Downs of Skooter's Cycles (06/06)

RECAP:

AMPS - 104
+2 - 102
+4 - 118** (three tests: 130, 104, 121)
+6 - 121
+7.7 - 105

PMPS - 134
+2 - 95
+3 - 67
+4 - 67
+5 - 83
+10 - 85

Well, isn't this an interesting turn of events. The difference in last night's cycle was I forgot to add the cosequin and probiotic to his PM meal cycle. I have done this before with no difference. So either he has settled into his dose, the cosequin and/or probiotic makes a difference, or the one I am going with, Skooter is a cat. :rolleyes:

I added them back in this morning, so we shall see how he does....he was a little more active, walking around the bed more last night...hence why I will be doing a lil

Well, today's cycle should be interesting....I will again try to do a curve as I don't have any plans to go anywhere and won't be lured out by fun ice cream visits as there is much to do here!

I just don't get him.....Yes the 126 and 124 are still excellent numbers, but it is still a jump UP of around 50....the jump happened before he would have had the food that had the cosequin and the probiotic.....so any thoughts on what is going on here?

Should I stop wondering what is going on, be happy he is hitting green and wait for someone to tell me to increase him?
 
Interesting! If it were me I would be tempted to go back to the .25 dose for a bit longer. His numbers started to get a bit higher even after just one .10 dose.

He has gone as low as 67 on this and has had green in each 0.10 cycle, but yesterday's AM one, at least that I caught....I just don't know anymore what to do with this cat! Every time I think, yup, time to go up, he throws a nice green number.....and normally I would say yes go back up, but last night's cycle into this morning was a nice long stretch in green....
 
No ideas from me. Wise eyes will be along, I bet, with some experienced thoughts.

I know it's frustrating 'cuz nothing in this dance moves in a nice linear fashion...with Polly I call it the wobble-bobbles and wait it out. But her situation is different and we're not "burdened" with the hope of OTJ. (It'd be fine; we're just not setting it out as a goal!)

As you stated last nights cycle could have been influenced by not having the probiotic and the cosequin, which might have been the cause of him going lower. If he tends to run higher on those two things, and he needs to continue to be on them then you might need to go back up a smidgen. The 150's and 130's are not OTJ material, but maybe he needs a little longer on this dose to settle in.
 
His cycles are confusing me even more....I have about 90 minutes til shot time....

I am unsure if I should do 0.10 or 0.25....his numbers have been a little higher on the 0.10, but he comes down for the most part....

I guess the other thing to keep in mind, is in the past I would not be concerned with 130s even 150s.....so should I be now? Before his bout with constipation, he was on the 0.25 for quite some time....but maybe I should have brought him up sooner....

Super confused right now (if you couldn't tell) lol....
 
So I went with 0.10 because, well, I have no idea why lol. I guess because he is still getting pretty good nadirs on the 0.10.

I did figure out what to do though:

But seriously, I have to remember I didn't freak out about 130s or 150s when he was on higher doses, and I shouldn't do that now. Everything will, or will not happen in its own time. I guess I just need to keep reminding myself this is HIS dance, not mine.....I am trying hard to remember that, but just frustrating....
 
Time for a new pair of patience pants? I think Skooter will help you make up your mind, one way or the other. For now, go with your gut. Any way you look at, it, he's spending lots of quality time in healing numbers, and that can only be good.
