Yesterday.

Ruby's been in the yellows all day. My theory that subQs lower her BGs has gone out the window, as the sitter gave her fluids when he came to test her this morning. That lime green number she got after the oncologist was probably a post vet, post trip in the car and bus stress dropsie. I took some time this morning before I left for work to give her some acupressure and belly massage to encourage a little poop. Sitter will be giving her fluids again tomorrow.

Hope everyone had a great day! :bighug:
 
Ruby's last green was 6 cycles ago. She might have gone there last night but I don't know. We've seen some better numbers on this dose. Room for an increase in the morning or should I wait for 10 cycles after the green?

I'm not sure about the dose increase. I hope you see some poop soon. :bighug::bighug::bighug:

Thanks, Carla. I'm not sure either. It's been clearer to me before when Ruby's needed one. Those yellows get me worried but then she likes to go low at night like a lot of other kitties, which is funny given that I give her pred in both cycles now.
 
According to TR, she's due an increase. You hold doses with green for 10 cycles. And she's well past the lime and the 50's. Of course, with no later cycle test last night and a bounce today, who knows? You also have to trade off your ability to monitor, and your goals for Ruby. How tightly do you want her regulated?

Not that tightly. I can't stay up past +3 most nights anymore because work demands that I am "on". I have the sitter coming only at AM+4 when DBF isn't home, though that doesn't seem to make a difference as she's been pretty high during the day and choosing to go low at night, which I guess is really preferable. I will do better to get a +2 and +3 each night, but what would you suggest I do, Wendy? Increase or not?
