8/5 FLUFFY AMPS -541|PMPS - 309|

You asked why bouncing occurs. From the basic sticky:


  • Bouncing - Bouncing is simply a natural reaction to what the cat's system perceives as a BG value that is "too low". "Too low" is relative. If a cat is used to BGs in the 200's, 300's, or higher for a long time, then even a BG that drops to 150 can trigger a "bounce". Bouncing can also be triggered if the blood glucose drops too low and/or too fast.The pancreas, then the liver, release glucogon, glycogen and counter-regulatory hormones. The end result is a dumping of "sugar" into the bloodstream to save the cat from going hypoglycemic from a perceived low. The action is often referred to as "liver panic" or "panicky liver". *Usually*, a bounce will clear kitty's system within 3 days (6 cycles).
 
Nothing to do. Just put NS in the dose column for last night. Carry on as usual. You won’t need to test much today. Maybe just grab a mid cycle.

This farm work is very exhausting I feel like I'm working from sunrise to sunset not exactly but 8:00 in the morning to 9:00 at night I'm so exhausted I ain't no spring chicken anymore.

I don't need to adjust his dose or anything? Now how far back is this mistake going to send us back in our progress? I just got a BG from him, it's 499
 
No more tests until pmps. I don’t know how long he will take. The count starts over at this dose for a week according to SLGS.

Elise said it all. It will be okay. I'm sorry this happened, but he will get back on track. They always do!

Give it time. It would only be a guess if I tried to say how long it will take... one missed shot drained the depot a bit, but should not have completely drained it. You're only human and an exhausted human at that. I hope this farm work will be over with soon!

It was really lovely of you to do that for your daughter. I am sure that it must be difficult to ever get away if you live on a farm; I am sure she appreciates it.
