Yes but before you do, how much does Elmo usually eat at a meal? I know his appy has improved but....... . If he keeps dropping we don't want him filled up. Not sure if you should up the carbs is why I'm asking.
 
Ok he's up a bit and if he will nibble overnight he should be fine. Can you retest again to see that he's holding in 30 minutes and then hopefully you can call it a night.

Yes indeed I can ..you go to bed too !!! We are all cool here , Linda:bighug: Looks like he's not the only one diving tonight ...Blaze and Ti-Mousse are at it too ! Thank you again , Linda and Nan ...you are our heroes:bighug:
 
And yes he does nibble overnight ...and wakes me with each time he does ... this dude is aging me :woot:
 
Oh I still have to go get Myster more steak for overnight and scoop some litter boxes so I'll stop back to see what Elmo does in half hour. Gonna check on Blaze and Ti-Mousse too. :)

Ah yes...the scooping of the litter boxes ...they laugh at me when my cart is full of just litter at the store .
 
Lurking on Blaze's thread... learning that once numbers are up you don't feed, test in 30 to see if they're able to go it alone without food help ...correct ??
 
What a great Elmo report today. :)

You want two rising test in a row, without carbs, before deciding it’s safe to go to bed.
 
Yes, that's basically adapted from the procedure when they go lime green. Bring them up with food (HC in that case), then once they're up see if they can hold it on their own. In that case, you're doing it for safety, in this case it's more of a peace of mind so you can sleep thing-- neither Blaze nor Elmo is close to the hypo zone, but you want to be able to sleep without worry.

Of course, since Elmo likes to wake you for middle-of-the-night snacks anyway...
 
Plan : test at + 5.5 ...if rising then no food ..test at + 6 ..rising then no food and test at 6.5 ?
 
No problem, that's fine. We're coming up to mid-cycle now, I'm guessing that he'll be heading up on his own any time now anyway. You have a good plan in place.

I'm glad Wendy is checking in, and I think there are a couple of other folks around now. I'm going to have to duck out now-- will be very interested to see how this turns out!

That's OK. My middle child just scared the daylights out of me. There is a hassock with a removable top in my bathroom that he loves to sit on while I shower or brush my teeth. Today for some reason, he's been laying on the hassock even when I'm not in there. He just came tearing down the hall and hid behind the TV looking like something was chasing him. I went to check and I guess the top went flying either when he jumped onto it or off it. Poor little guy is such a chicken!
