8 shots at .50 is it time to increase or wait it out?

[Judy and Hershey]

Hershey has been able to maintain the 200's coming off 1.0 x2 down to .50 x 2. Not sure if I should continue with this continued dosage or should I put it up maybe to .75? I hate to increase since he is slowly coming down. I know that Hershey has snuck some of my other cat's dry food. Will attempt to do 2 more nadir's next weekend. Any thoughts are appreciated!

I really can't say because I don't know how low Hershey is getting in her cycle. Are you able to get some +5 or +6 tests? Your preshots numbers are pretty good but it doesn't give us the whole picture. I would suggest continuing with the .50 and getting some +5 or +6 tests. Once you know how low Hershey is going, then you will be able to know if you should go higher. I actually like what I see for the pre-shot numbers. I don't see any bounces so that is another reason why I would hold off on increasing and staying with your current dose. How about some mid-cycle tests?

Hi, Judy - Just wanted to say that I really agree with Cindi here; until you're able to get some mid-cycle #s, I'd really advise you to hold the dose at 0.5.

It may be helpful for you to view the SS as a puzzle that - at this time - has mostly just the "border" pieces (AMPS/PMPS) filled in. Sometimes you need to put together some more of the pieces in the middle, too, to get a better idea of what the whole picture will turn out to be ...

Great analogy, Robin!
