8/18 Esca Dosing Advice

[Kirsta & Esca]

Got a full curve the past two days.
What do we think about Esca’s numbers on .1u. Hold or does he need to go back up to .25u?

I’d stick with 0.10.

What should we be watching for number wise to increase or try OTJ?

I was debating whether to have you go to a drop dose because of a couple blues at +6 and +8. However I think you should try a drop dose. Are you giving a snack at +9?
To measure a drop dose is really easy. Push the syringe in and insert into your pen or vial. Then release the plunger and it will draw up a drop. Then when you inject the drop try and count to 10 before pulling it out. Good luck.

Yes he’s getting a snack during the day at +9.
That’s how we’re measuring .1u - just pushing in the plunger and releasing to get a drop. I thought that was .1u, but it’s also equally likely I got confused somewhere in reading. But he’s on a drop!

Any way of getting him a snack around PM+9? I'd love to see more consistent green AMPS.

We’ve tried doing the auto feeder but he won’t eat out of it
He has food left down for him at night and when we wake up there’s food still in his bowls - he doesn’t seem to eat a ton at night.
