9/8 Condo
9/8 RECAP:
AMPS 285
(+2.25) 91 --- gave 1/4 tsp hc gravy to 1.5 tsp lc food
(+2.75) 69 --- gave half of first food dose
(+3.25) 51 --- same as first dose + 1/4tsp hc food
(+3.75) 52--- nothing! we want a reducie! just kidding, i`ll give alittle something very light&barely there.(ended up giving 1tsp chicken & rice 'pudding' @ +4ish)
(+4.25) 54 --- :cry: I think give nothing this time, for REALS. Now we know that a little rice is powwwwerful!
(+4.75) 59 --- Nothing again! He's having tuna water w acv for testing treat .
(+5.5) 66 --- Tuna water and a little tuna
(+6.6) 73 --- Nothing - he didn`t want the tuna stuff. Think he`s hungry, food it allllmost ready! He really needs to be a 'free feeder' --
(+7.5) 87 --- Nothing... sleeping...
(+8.5) 105 --- 2T LC Food Awake and Hungry - food finally ready!
I wonder if it`s possible that eating sooner would have kept him from rising so much from +7.5 to +8.5 - maybe it caused stress to be hungry...
(+9.5) 303 --- Ate again.

Reuben spent 6 hours in the greens yesterday! :mrgreen: We are trying to learn how to add carbs to his food to control the drops. Today I will start testing sooner, and start sooner with the carbs since it looks like the same thing is going to happen. Although........... I made a mistake when I gave the shot this morning. I did not take my time to make 1,000% sure that the tent was right, and when I ran my hand over his fur and then checked for aroma of band-aid.... there was one. Not really strong, but unmistakable. Note to self: always take your time!! So I`ll wait to add the carbs until I`m sure what direction we're heading, but still plan opening the parachute ASAP as soon as I know.
Most P's in place, he is feeling a little better this morning - actually moved from the spot where he has been hunkered down and let me cuddle him for a wee bit in my (couch) bed, and then jumped up and ran outside! So something is letting up for him. However, the litter box on the bed has now been rejected and we`re back to direct peeing on the bed - (it is covered in plastic now, and no- I don`t sleep in it! ... having retired to the verrry comfy couch when this started.) He stopped using the new litter box last night after I had cleaned it and put new litter taken from the now unused giant litter box.. So it looks like maybe it`s the Litter he doesn't like? I need to dash out (but when?) and buy the kind that came with the new box, and re-load and see what happens.
I want to re-create (as best I can) the equivalent % carb levels in his food that others are giving at specific times in the cycles to control the bg - and follow their successful paths. There is a customs restriction on importing the cat food (thank you Rhiannon for your research on international shipping through Amazon for good cat food!
) so the solution I see is this.
Ongoing Medications:
50mg Clavamox bid
2.5mg Pepcid bid
.08ml Bupe as needed ( daily until 9/1then on 9/5; 9/6 )
miralax -
1/16th tsp 9/6 at 10pm. Prezzi followed shortly thereafter
9/8 teensy bit of miralax - 95% normal poo.
9/9 no miralax but had a similar reaction (runny at the end of a normal poo)
