Yesterday Dental tomorrow morning! I am a little nervous about putting him in someone else's care--even qualified professionals! Guess I am a bit of a control freak! No --I KNOW I am lol! Wild night last night! Lime twice! Didn't want to come up out of the 50s. Finally got to 70 at +7 and went to bed! Used to be really nervous at 80 lol! Here's "bath ray", and "tablet ray":
Good luck with tomorrow’s dental! Keep us posted. Your little Ray of Sunshine looks lovely! Do you know that Tiger has a particular bad tooth?
Thank you Suzanne! No I don't know anything yet. The vet said she saw some possible tooth resorption. Hoping he doesn't have to lose too many! Thank you for the luck!!! Ray is just the sweetest little thing
Thank you Katherine! Tiger is a scaredy cat so I imagine he is pretty good although I haven't been in the room so I don't know lol! We will post our experience. Hope your girls are doing well!!!!!
Thank you so much! How's your girl? What if he dips down low after midnight--just give him karo-no food?
Make sure he is well above 50 from the beginning of the cycle. Start carbing him up from +2, if needed. Post each test here and let's see what to do, okay?
OK! I was waiting to hear what you thought so I just gave it to him. So half hour would be 10:50pm my time. It means so much to have your support and help! I am a little nervous! How's Bandit?
I'm so sorry. Got caught up in some stuff here. Is 11pm +3? Then you can test then. Easier to keep track. Don't be! You are testing and have supplies. You've got this! This time we are being extra cautious. Probiotic and Ondem twice a day. So she's doing better. Not happy at being pilled so much but at least she is eating and in good spirits.
Yep he likes this! I only have one more test and feed. I hope he will stay up without more food after that!
No I decided to skip his AM shot. I was worried he would dip too low and they wouldn't catch it. But either way he can't have food after midnight...
The AM shot was a skip. I assumed you'd advance his PM shot to 7pm so you could feed till later in the cycle. +5 rather than +4.
Is the whole toolbar missing? Do you know what time his procedure is tomorrow? Will they be checking his labs again before the dental?
OK got my computer squared away-Ray helps a lot lol! I don't know about labs. I will check his BG before we go.
Was wondering if we have a buffer with the midnight feed. Whether we could feed a little after. You need 8 hours clear from the dental.
It's okay! I should have explained it better. And checked-in to see if you've advanced the shot. He will be fine. We just give him karo if he drops.
Don't know what time it will be. We will just have to do what we have to do and postpone if need be... I will text them in the morning and see if we should still drop him off at 7:15 or not. They probably can do someone else first and wait a little while to do him??
Let's see how tonight plays out. Karo should not affect his fasting. The want the stomach to be empty for GA.
+4.5 is 80 yay! Hope it lasts! I don't even know if he will take straight karo! I hope so--maybe lick it off my finger.
Don't give him any yet. Let's see if he stays up. We don't want him too high either since we're skippinhg the shot tomorrow morning.
If you need to give it to him at any point - just smear it on his lips or his paws so he's forced to lick it off. If he won't lick it off your finger. Bandit hates honey.
I used to give him and his brother butter to lick off my finger every morning so I know he would do that. Do you think butter would bring up his BG? Maybe a mixture of butter and karo? Wild times Tiger!!
We are now 1 hour away from the last meal/karo? I think he should be good. You can check again in 30 mins to be safe. Not much sleep tonight, huh? Don't know! Never used it.
Only butter wouldn't. Hopefully you won't need it. I would give it only if he drops below 65 in the next hour. Let him surf the high greens for the rest of the night.
Last night he was low all night - finally came up to 70 at 2:30 so 6.5. Got to bed at 3! Karo is just sugar syrup made from corn.
Despite 20% and karo! Hopefully he will stay up tonight. Let's see the +5.5. And hopefully we can all sleep!
Yes!! You need your sleep too so go to bed if you want to! We will be ok and thanks for getting us through!
+5.5 is 77 I will stay up another hour at least and make sure. Hope you get a good rest! You're wonderful
And I see Bandit has been dipping down today too!! You were still able to help us while you were going through it yourself
Yup. I had a tough time keeping Bandit hungry and she chose to drop to 52 at the last test. She wouldn't let us sleep!
+6 is 67 Go get some sleep now! I will bathe him in karo if I have to lol...or just feed him I will test him again in a half hour and maybe go to bed then...
Don't feed or give karo unless he drops below 50. I think he should be okay from here. Even if he dips a little more. Giving karo so late in the cycle will shoot him to the moon and you are skipping tomorrow's shot.
OK. Little scary but ok. The karo doesn't actually seem to cause him to go that high. He got a good amount of it last night. He seems determined to stay low now!
Yup. Whatever was plaguing him might be resolved and he's headed down the dosing ladder faster than he climbed up. It's invariably like that.
Yes I did have a nice afternoon nap! Thank you for giving up some of yours for us! Hope you can get a good rest.
I am thinking of Tiger today. And you must be exhausted, Kathy. Darcy would not lick Karo syrup either so I always mixed it 50/50 with water and syringed in about 1.5 cc. It was a lot less messy than putting that junk on his mouth and having his fur get all crusty!
Just waited and retested! What are you doing up?! He is 86 at 6:30 AM. I texted to see if they still want me to bring him...
