Well, I'd say Michelangelo is going on Day 4 of his otj_icon trial, if it weren't for the fact that the reason why his numbers are so low is because he's not eating enough just yet but his numbers are slowly creeping up as he starts eating more. I know not to get my hopes up because he's most likely a "Type 1," but since not many of feline Type 1s exist, perhaps cats can also achieve remission from Type 1 and not just the "adult-onset" type? I know I said it yesterday that I was expecting his PMPS to be high, but now I have no idea when I'll see his full "recovery" and he gets back to his regular dose.
He's definitely back to beyond his normal self and was even affectionate with me last night!
He actually climbed on top of me for all of two whole seconds before jumping over me to the back of the couch. (He's never been one for "touching.") This is actually making me consider switching him to Levemir because I wonder if it's the Lantus that makes him his usual grumpy, grouchy self and without it in his system, he's now much more personable.
Any suggestions on what his starting dose should be and when I should start shooting him? At the moment, I've been holding out till he tops 150 and I was planning on staring with .5u if he's under 200 and 1u if he's over. Should I be more conservative and just start over at .5u and hold it at that for 3-6 cycles? His depot has completely drained by this point. I know hypos can often prompt remission, but perhaps does any medical crisis?
All I did was not syringe feed him when he got back from the vet's because the vet said to hold off on food till the next morning. Literally overnight, he just decided he felt well enough to eat again.
No pepcid, no clavamox, no fortiflora (which the vet gave me a bunch of free samples of), no roasted chicken, no cat grass, nothing.

Chris & China said:Did something you tried finally spark his appetite or did he just finally decide you weren't going to leave him alone so it would be easier for him to just eat it himself?
