Over the last two months, since Pumbaa was diagnosed, I've read several posts about controlling bounces and dives. If I remember correctly, more so about how to prevent dives, which cause bounces.
It would be great to have one thread dealing with this issue, instead of posts on many threads, discussing this.
Pumbaa is a major diver and bouncer, as are many other FD cats.
What can we do, the caretakers, to even out the dives and bounces? Based on a cat who is only getting low-carb canned food, and who is getting insulin regularly, as in every 12 hours per Lantus and Levimir protocols. (I didn't include Pro-Zinc in here because of the no shed variable. The shed makes a big difference, I assume, in this advice.)
So, how do I prevent bounces and dives, when my FD cat is free-feeding. I don't want him to go hungry, and realize that he will instinctively eat more when he is dropping into dangerous BG ranges, so I always make sure that my kitties have low-carb food available. 24/7/365.
Help! From many of us who are dealing with the frustration of diving/bouncing FD kitties.
