Hoping his #s start to improve for you very soon. I've found that using a large magnifying glass helps to see the needles better when giving 1/4 unit doses. Hope that helps. :-D

Thanks, Angela, but the problem is not seeing... it is getting the syringe finely adjusted. It zooms past where I want it to be.

I believe I was told to keep all questions in Ozy's condo's for continuity. This question is about diet. Ozy has a pretty sick pancreas. Even though his pancreas is pretty bad, and gives him pain and nausea, he doesn't vomit or have diarrhea or refuse to eat. Those are good things. However, his blood work (see link in signature) says the sample had gross lipemia (bottom of page 1) which I think means it had a lot of fat suspended in it.

Does the gross lipemia indicate he needs a different diet? The Wellness grain/free Turkey and salmon is low carb but has a higher proportion of fat to protein than some low carb canned food. Should I switch to something with higher protein proportion or should I hold tight with the diet changes? Should I give him pancreatic enzymes since his pancreas probably doesn't produce any? If so, which ones are good ones?

thanks
