Good morning all - so yesterday morning WAS a fur shot but we're back on track and I'm trying to do a little more spot checking to get more puzzle pieces. I'm giving Chigga 1.5u now, twice a day - I asked yesterday what people thought about dosing but never got a verdict. Any suggestions?

All her P's are in place and things are looking good! :razz:

Here is your link to yesterdays' post: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=23114

We can click on the previous day's posts and read what transpired so it's a good thing to add to your first post of each day...

Yesterday morning was a fur shot, correct? I think that means that this is really the 2nd cycle on this 1.50u...am I reading that right? It's good that you got that +4 last night.. Any chance of getting some more checks today? It looks to me that this dose is doing some nice things...nice lower yellow AMPS this morning....but I am not an expert at dosing suggestions so maybe you could put that question in your header and someone will be along.

Are you feeding Hills prescription M/D? I am wondering if a lower carb food would be a better choice as far as lowering the BGs...is it for weight loss? That is 14% carbs I believe...
I'm sorry if you discussed this already and I missed it....have you thought of using a lower carb food?
 
DOSING QUESTION: 8/24 Chigga PMPS~278...+4~192...AMPS~212

No worries, I actually got off the M/D prescription and got Chigga on Trader Joe's Tuna for Cats about 2 weeks ago - so I think she's good in the food department. And yes, her first 1.5u shot was on Sunday night, then Monday morning was a fur shot and so really tonight will complete the 2nd cycle on 1.5u. I can't test her during the day because I'm at work from 8:00 to 6:30 so I'm trying to do some night spot checking and then lots of spot checking and curves on the weekends. If I could take a couple of personal days to test her during the day during the week I would but alas my job doesn't work that way because it's in the entertainment industry and everyone is crazy and never takes time off so they don't think others should take time off. :cry:

Alas I am doing my best because I want my little fur baby to be healthy and hopefully get her off the juice!

Thanks again for all the support - it makes a world of difference when you're not alone. drinking11

Well I mean well...LOL...and now I will put my 2 cents in about the tuna....we suggest fish only about once a week for urinary health. They have found too that if you only feed tuna, they will get sooooo used to it and not want anything else. Have you tried other flavors and other brands?

Here is the link to Janet & Binky's food chart...have you seen this before? http://binkyspage.tripod.com/canfood.html

Many kitties like the different Fancy Feast flavors...I personally use the Wellness chicken and Evo 95% chicken/turkey as well as a raw chicken mix with Feline's Future powder There might be something on that list that would be convenient for you to try....glad you got off the M/D though....

Getting spot checks at night would be so great now. And then, on your days off you could do a curve as you said...you have to work so you will just work around it.
Back to the food again..sorry...what times do you feed and do you leave food out while you are at work or during the night?

Some people us the automatic feeders and others freeze some food in ice cube trays. The puck defrosts during the day or night and is available for a nice snack. Have you ever hear of that? It's good for them to have a few meals during the day rather than just two....

hi erica! unfortunately, there's not enough mid-cycle data collected yet for us to offer informed suggestions. since none of us are vets, we have to rely on cold hard data to offer suggestions or advice based on our experiences.

this is the second cycle @ 1.5u bid. i know it's difficult to get spot checks when working outside the home. just do the best you can.
in no time at all you'll be filling in the blanks...

Oh great...that is good that Jill came and answered your dosing question...maybe you can change your header to eliminate that "Dosing Question" ....so, guess you will just have to do your best with spot checks during the PM cycle until you get more data! :razz:
 
Hi Erica

yes, Jill's right...my suggestion is to sit tight with this dose, give yourself a chance to fill in a bit more at night, honest!!
This does wonders to see what's happening. You never know what you might miss :mrgreen:


Keep at it, it will get easier. :YMHUG:
