I think you might have already answered this question before (apologies in advance!), but does she get a snack at +1? Might help reduce the dive at onset. You could feed a part of her preshot meal at +1 (in all cycles).

You aren’t allowed to apologize for questions, Bhooma, that’s my job 
.
I have not been doing food at the +1. I usually feed her at the shot time and then at +2. And then pretty much every 2-3 hours after that. She really struggles with the bilious vomiting syndrome if she goes without food longer than 2-3 hours. When she drops really low, I’ve followed your great advice to feed a very small amount every 30-60 min. That really has been successful at preventing her from dropping below 50 in most cases.
I can switch to dividing either the shot time food or the +2 so she gets some food at +1, if you think that’s a good idea? Thanks so much for looking out for her!

Either is fine. Will she be more likely to eat at +1 if she gets less food at PS? Some cats are foodies and are always happy to eat.

Depends on the day for her . Sometimes she is picky and sometimes she eats really well. One good thing I have noticed is that she has a sense when she is rapidly dropping and has a tremendous appetite. I can tell a definite change in how she almost frantically demands food, which is very unlike her. Make me feel a bit more comfortable at the lower numbers knowing that she'll gladly eat.
