I felt a little funny going against vet advice, but my gut told me not to give the 2 1/2 he told me to.
I also feel like I am mutilating his ears!!! Will this feeling pass?
Poor guy, he's been realllllllly good today with letting me test.
Usually you could do a second test to verify if the meter is accurate but I don't advise doing multiple tests when you have so few strips.
The Wellness Healthy Indulgence pouches are between 9-12% carb, the Wellness COre dry is 11% carbs, and the DM dry is 13% carbs. If you have to feed a low number start with the pouches (a little at a time as Sue said) and keep him a little hungry. If you have to use dry use the Wellness Core.
As for the testing, yes, it gets easier and remember - you are testing to keep him safe, that is the goal. Hang in there, we are with you. Scritches for Oz from us.
