Hoo boy, first time this low. He's overall acting okay but just threw up a bit, bile. Ate some LC about 45 mins ago.

Mostly posting to have this ready in case we need it! Plan to test him again in about 10 mins.

Ope, eating a tiny bit LC now.

Do you have some MC? Feed him a teaspoon of that as well.

Does there happen to be a list of MC and HC? I have several cans of Gravy food but unsure which category it would fall into!

We've gone up to 64 at +3.20

Cool. Then you can stay with LC.

This is an old list. See if the food you have is listed here:
https://catinfo.org/chart/index.php

MC is 10-15% carbs and HC is > 15%

Here's a few of med and high carb foods
Fancy Feast Gravy Lovers Gourmet Beef Feast in Gravy 20% High Carbs

Fancy Feast Gravy Lovers Gourmet Chicken Feast in Gravy 15% Med Carbs

Fancy Feast Gravy Lovers Turkey Feast in Gravy 15% Med Carbs

Fancy Feast Gravy Lovers Chicken and Beef in Gravy 15% Med Carbs

Good idea to mark the cans with magic marker how many carbs
Or any ones on this food chart

Thank you both! I found a carb calculator while I was waiting that I was plugging numbers into and it gave wildly different numbers, lol. So thankful for premade lists! I've copied the list to my notes and bookmarked the other so I always have it handy!

I will be staying up to test again in 30 mins.

You can use this carb calculator to get a rough estimate of carb%. Look at Dry Matter Carbohydrates at the very end.

That one tells me that the Gravy lovers is 14%! (List has it at 20)

Based on the list, both types I have fall into HC.

+4 - 56

 

[Kirsta & Esca]

Based on the link, both are MC.

The values on the food label are only approximations. Min and maximum ranges. Not exact values. The food list has been created by getting the actual values from the cat food companies.

The food list is also 5 years old, so there may have been some changes to the ingredients as well.

+4 - 56

PJ party! Test at +5? Stay with LC.

 

[Kirsta & Esca]

That makes sense!

Will test at +5

 

[Kirsta & Esca]

+5 - 59

What's protocol for hitting exactly 50 tonight? I am seeing "below 50" for a .25 reduction, since he was right on the nose, do we stay at 1u?

Yes. You stay with 1U. He's looking good!

 

[Kirsta & Esca]

Thanks for the confirmation! Putting some more food down for him and I am off to bed.
As always, I am so very appreciative of your help!
I am sure I will be back with another panicky post soon LOL
