Bear with me, I'm still learning how you guys do this. Here is a link to yesterday I think

Sparky is at 318, i'm shooting .25U. I'm working on a spreadsheet but don't have one up yet, so you can see this:

8/16: 330 (realized he was off honeymoon)
8/18: PMPS 274 .5u'
8/19: AMBG 28
8/19: +18 111
8/19: PMPS 318 .25u

If someone can direct me on how to post a spreadsheet and linking to previous posts, a PM would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for the help.

I can't take him to the vet right now , I'm home on unpaid maternity leave and caring for a 5 week old bean, but of course I will take him to get checked out as soon as I can...

Can i just ask- how do you SEE the .25 in the syringe? I'm not that old but I think I need reading glasses for this!! Is there a better syringe I can use for smaller doses?

ALSO figured out how to attach the spreadsheets, so i'll do that.

Wow, that's an agressive response to 0.5u!

There are not any really great syringes for 0.25u, though some of them are "smoother" than others, which can make it easier. Reading glasses really can help!

There are some pictures of partial dosings here, but the most important part is just to be consistant. At these doses, before you use a syringe, you will want to check where the plunger is when it is completely pushed in. Sometimes the "zero" can be off due to manufacturing tollerances, and that can make a big difference here.

Many users do go down to 0.1u doses as the minimum. Some people even swear by single drops dispensed "by feel". I can't help with that, but you may need it.
