Glad he didn't get too squirrely last night. Hopefully he doesn't bounce too hard today

Dropping by 100 points every 2 hours for a bit kinda put my heart in my throat :woot: I am agreeing with you , Justin, for no bounce. Gpa man Elmo needs to find a new hobby and chill out :) Scritches to sweet Sebastian :bighug:
 
Thanks Beth for asking about Angie; it's so thoughtful for you to ask. He got up at 3 a.m. to check on her and he could hear bowel sounds, but she hadn't pooped yet. He's headed down there now and hopefully there will be some "results" in her pen.

Yes yes yes ..." results " :joyful:
 
Btw...what would y'all suggest if he does tonight what he did last night ...started heading down by 100 at a time ...I was up til ab +5 ...he was in 200s then . Was having to syringe feed cos he wasn't interested but after I went to bed between +5 and +6 he ate well on his own overnight . He has his own way of doing g things for sure :woot: @LizzieInTexas @Justin & Sebastian @MrWorfMen's Mom ???
 
I'd say it depends on what number he's at when he's dropping and also what time. It's been looking like he zooms out of the HIs pretty quickly but then slows down when he gets to the lower 300s and 200s. I think you can probably just go for a +2 and a +5 while he's still bouncing like this. It's what I do, it lets me get a little 2 1/2 hour power nap and then another 5 1/2 hours.

As far as the feeding, I'm still figuring that one out myself. Sometimes Sebastian doesn't want to eat right at shot time, usually more so at night, so I'll give him about an hour or two to eat on his own. If he hasn't eaten by +2 I break out the syringes. One thing I've found with him is even if I do break out the syringes, I don't always have to force. Sometimes he just wants to lick it up off the plate. Won't eat anything else, but is more than happy to lick it up. The other thing I've been noticing is if I leave a longer fast before PMPS he's more likely to eat. 2 hours wasn't cutting it and he wasn't hungry but if I pull the food at +9 he's usually willing to eat at dinner.
 
And actually, I'll revise that night test timing a bit. It might suck a little, and maybe don't do it every night, but I think you'd be better served by getting a later cycle test on the nights the bounce is breaking. Like last night, the 235 doesn't tell us much we didn't already know but he's was definitely dropping, we just don't know how far. so I would say maybe do a +1 and if you see he's breaking the bounce, try and get a +6 or +7. That should still give you plenty of time to get some decent stretches of sleep in, and with him bouncing every other night right now, wouldn't be constant.

Thanks so much Justin :) With less sleep I get fog brain and it's not good :p I am blessed that we are " retired" ( dislike that word cos makes it sound like we do nothing and that's far from how it is around here). Put it this way , my time is my own and we love it ❤️ So I can take a nap during the day , tho that's not my general personality . We shall see what tonight brings . I swear , as we were getting ready to give him his shot he perked up even before we gave it ....this cat is a hot mess :rolleyes:
