9/13 Lucky +11 86, AMPS 98

[Ceebats]

Good Morning All,

In need of some advice as usual.

Lucky is in the green right now, and it seems that he is continuing to rise, but I am unable to stay home and keep an eye on him, or check on him before his PMPS because I work much to far from my home.

I know that I should not skip the dose whenever possible, so since I can't be here, would it be best to give a reduced dose this morning?

Thanks for the help!

Sorry I can't stay up with you - just up getting a +9 on the west coast, but saw your question.

Your options are either:
1) skip
2) shoot a reduced dose
3) stall for 20-30 minutes and see where Lucky is going and shoot the full dose later.

Since you can't be home, I'd be inclined to skip. Often a cycle with a reduced dose will play out similarly to one with a full dose, due to the depot. I see by your SS you have shot a reduced dose. If so make sure Lucky has plenty of food out in case he should need it.

Surf safely, Lucky!

HI Chantelle! I don't think I've introduced myself: I'm Kat from Ohio and Gobbles is my diet-controlled sugar boy: a handsome 11 year old neutered gray tabby. I see you reduced the dose to .50 today due to not being home to monitor. I don't know what time is your shot time, but see we are in the same time zone....just curious as to what Lucky's PM pre-shot is...?

Hi Kat!

Very nice to meet you!

I have been working hard to try and get home early enough to get a +10 or +11 before the PMPS. This evening +11 was 145, and PMPS was 102 :/. I am stalling for another 15 to see what he does.

Good idea Chantelle. Please post when you get that number :mrgreen:

He jumped up to 138, but I will still keep an eye on him and test him in a few hours!

UPDATE: Lucky kind of jerked when I was shooting, and I think he got his insulin, but I am not 100% sure :/. I know I should NOT shoot him again, but I'm not sure what to do next, if anything?? :?:

If you think you might have given a fur shot, note it on your SS. You could test again in a couple of hours, +2 to +3 to see if the insulin is bringing down his numbers. Some of the insulin might have gone in.

Whatever you do, Chantelle, when you think you may have given a fur shot: DO NOT give more insulin. Worse case scenario, kitty didn't get their insulin shot or just got part of their insulin shot. It is really impossible to tell if a cat surely didn't get the insulin injected into them, so it is better to be safe than sorry. You probably know this already, but I'm not real familiar with you & Lucky, so I thought I would post it
