I think you were in a gray zone with regard to whether to increase. You are correct in that since nadirs were <200 that you hold the dose for 5 days. (Note that the protocol says new to numbers <200 and Thelonius isn't exactly "new" to those numbers.) The decision point is based on how low the current dose is bringing the nadir and if you have enough of a safety margin to increase. If you're comfortable with the amount you're testing, think that you have enough data to support a decision to increase, and will be able to keep an eye on the numbers, then it's fine to increase.
As detailed at TR is, there are still decision points that are left up to the caregiver. If it were my kitty, I would have likely increased, as well. Elise may be a little more conservative and would opt to hold the dose. This is why you're encouraged to post your questions so you can see the differences in the way members here think through their decisions.
