    Hi everyone. This is my first post so excuse me if this isn't the correct thread. (I also posted on the Feline Health forum) My boy is currently on 2.5 units of Prozinc, I just did a curve today but I am unsure if I should increase Sunday (tomorrow) or hold off. Generally I work Monday - Friday so am not home to monitor him and am worried with an increase he will go to low. I do have Wednesday off this week and thought I could increase Tuesday night and monitor and do a curve Wednesday. If I do increase, would I want to increase 0.25 or would 0.5 be fine? How do you do that without a marking?

    Hi Karli I can tag some prozinc users for you but they probably won't be on until tomorrow.
    Can you please add to your signature the date Harold was diagnosed and what are you feeding, wet, dry or both
    I see you posted on the Feline Health also , for some reason the link that your spreadsheet is only working on the prozinc forum, when I tap it on the Feline Health it say error page not found

    Do you have the syringes with the half unit markings?

    About increasing wait until you hear from someone tomorrow, if they advise to increase by 0.25 units you would eye ball it the best you can

    You're already in the blues so I would only raise 0.25. Why are there extra columns before the preshot column?

    I decided to do a 0.25 increase this a.m from all the advice I was given.
    I'm not sure what extra columns you mean tho..

    What is the ideal number? I just tested 20 min ago (at +6) and he was at 4.5. Is this a good thing.. makes me nervous. I have him eating and will check again when he is done.

    4.5 is good. Normal is about 2.8-6.7. You don't want it lower than that.
