Charly - not eating help!

[Suzanne & Darcy]

I'm thinking if she's above 150 to give full dose?

Maybe 1 unit if she's 100 - 150?

Yes. I agree with this. She’s trending up very slowly at this point. Can we start a new thread.

 

[DavidJ]

just done pmps. flat and green.

will try again in 30 minutes

 

[fpa]

How long until her shot? Is it 45 minutes from now?

It looks like it's now and she is still @90

Good. Although sometimes stalling only makes shooting decisions more difficult because the numbers stay flat or even drop a bit due to lack of food.

 

[Suzanne & Darcy]

See you in 30

 

[fpa]

Yes. I agree with this.

Just saw this, I'd listen to Suzanne and not me!

 

[DavidJ]

See you in 30

thank you

110 @ pmps +30 mins

 

[Suzanne & Darcy]

So she is on her way up. Do want to wait a little longer.

 

[DavidJ]

i've got no schedule pressure. i can wait if it helps. probably better for C if we can keep the dose the same?

 

[Suzanne & Darcy]

I would feel more comfortable if we waited another 30 minutes.

okie dokie. lets do that

 

[DavidJ]

104 @ pmps +1hr

 

[Suzanne & Darcy]

She’s holding steady and that’s good but…

 

[DavidJ]

i'm leaning towards a lower dose again now. we shot 1 unit at 126 back on 15th and she dipped into lime green and it feels now like something has changed since then.

 

[Suzanne & Darcy]

I think I would shoot something around .75 units. She may start heading up quite high for the evening and then you can just have an early night! But I would prefer to shoot less than one unit because of the lime she had the night of the 15th. The difference that evening was that she was dropping and not stable/rising like she appears to be tonight.
Anyway — how would you feel about doing a .75?

 

[DavidJ]

aha great minds think alike! yes i was thinking .75 or even .5

you think we should be ok with .75?

 

[fpa]

.75 makes sense to me too.

 

[Suzanne & Darcy]

I think so, because the day she went lime was a bounce break cycle where she trended downward all day. But if you want to go with .5 for tonight I am fine with that too. She’s out of whatever funk she has been in so it’s anyone’s guess.

 

[Suzanne & Darcy]

It’s your call, David. How are you feeling tonight? It’s getting on and I think you should feed and shoot.

 

[Suzanne & Darcy]

Whatever you do, get a +2 so you have a heads up on what the cycle may be like and decide what you will feed her at that point.

thanks, sorry didn't mean to put the pressure on. that wasn't a fair question!

i think 0.75 would probably be better but I think I will sleep better at 0.5. I'll let her eat while I think about for 5 mintues

No worries! Charly has at least had a more normal curve today with a dip in the middle. I like that. But it’s okay either way. Let’s not worry about it. We can get her back on track tomorrow if tonight’s cycle is not what we would like. It’s not like there is a “right or wrong” answer here between the .75 and the .5.

 

[DavidJ]

thanks both. i've gone with 0.75. 0.5 seems too big reduction especially given shes nearly 2 hrs late now and with ketones not so long ago. and luckily i'm not working in the morning!

 

[DavidJ]

Good.

Have you been able to get a urine sample?

Borderline? From the urine sample? Hmmm? Urine Specific Gravity?

@Suzanne & Darcy I've pmd you re latest vet visit

 

[Suzanne & Darcy]

I see she had some good numbers last night…. Then the bounce.
