Yup he is overweight, but also pretty big boned for a cat. Doctor said she was aiming for 18 pounds and to give him 280 calories.

Tyler weighed 23 lbs before he was diagnosed when I took him to my vet and she weighed him he weighed 18 lbs , that's how much weight he lost
He's also big boned but was still over weight.
He now weighs 15.60 lbs
Knock on wood he's been in remission since 1-24-21 with the help from all the awesome members

Wow that's a good amount of weight lost. I can't even imagine Brady as a smaller boy. He's been a big boy for a long time.

Sara Elise gave you the link on how to post on the lantus forum
Read it but I'll just give you an example just in case
We do a new post every day like this
Example
The Date, then Brady, then AMPS # then any other tests you do after that
Continue with PMPS # and any other test you want to add to it

After you post on the lantus board you will link this post to it , the previous post is all the way up top above the picture of the cat in that long box , do you see it, it starts with https://www.feline diabetes.com
You just copy and paste it to tomorrows condo or thread meaning your post
Do this everyday in case a member wants to go back and look at it.
I'll check in tomorrow to see how you did it

Would I do my daily post at night so I can have all the daily data to post?
 
One last thing I think lol
If you ever need to tag anyone because you might need help or have a question after you are done typing you would type @then the first couple of letters of the person you want to tag and a drop down will appear , tap on the member you want
if I'm not around or Elise isn't I would tag the members I listed above in post #34
After you're done writing what you want to say and hit post, the members name should be blue , then you'll know you did it correctly.
Bhooma Bandit's Mom lives in India and Bron ( Bron and Sheba ) lives in Australia so they are usually around later at night

Ok I can do that! Thanks for all the help!
 
It’s good to post in the morning with the AMPS. Attach your last thread. If you have a question, add the question mark prefix. If not just post the link. Then post again with the Pmps added to your subject bar. If you add the +2 or +3 bg and one of us thinks you need to feed or something, someone is usually scanning the post subjects to see if help might be needed.
 
Sara if you don't know how to edit your title to add more tests or whatever you would look to the right and you'll see it says Thread Tools , tap on that then tap on Edit Title then you can add what you want to and then hit Save Changes
Don't forget to fill in your PMPS number and the units for tonight on your SS
By the way Bradley is a cutie :cat:

Ok I will right now... Ugh I'm so fed up with him not eating his meals. He just licks it like he don't know how to take bites. I think I'm going to just transition him over to wellness core smooth pate... I saw the carb count is under 10%. Do you guys give the same favor all the time or do you switch it up?
 
It took him so long to eat today that I don't even have the +1 yet. I'm so frustrated. I think he misses his hard food..

I find that rotating flavors is needed. Even from shot time meal to +1 sometimes the pate he was LOVING at shot time he turns his nose up to at +1 and I break out a different flavor and he goes to town on it

have you tried FortiFlora to encourage consumption?

Ok good so maybe I'll do different flavors. My vet said he can't have other flavors and I have up stick to one food. I don't find that easy to do with all cats.

I haven't tried that. I know it's a probiotic, but is it a flavor enhancer too?
