? few different questions. (EDIT)

Of course!!! I'm heading to bed in a few, but I'll come back and check on you tomorrow. :)
 
Yup those are the ones. You don't have to use them either...a bit of cheese or meat if Skittles likes it is fine. Just something to wrap it in so he'll swallow. Or whatever works for you guys really.

Thank you ! Goodnight :)
 
Got some CBC oil today :) And I found a holistic food supply store today and guess what?! The have DR Lisa’s entire food list printed off! I couldn’t believe it!! I got a few cans of Tiki. They only had 1 flavor that wasn’t seafood though.
 
Is the CBD for humans or pets? The dose for humans is usually one dropper. If it's CBD for people, I would suggest starting with 2-3 drops and seeing how Skittles does, then increasing slowly. I think most of us end up around 4-5 drops twice/day, but some cats need less than that.

If the CBD is marketed for pets and says one dropper, then go with that.

Sherri, I'm still not sure what kind of CBD oil that is. Can you take a picture of the front of the box maybe?

I'd go ahead and follow the first part for during a flare. Keep it up for a week and then move down. Just in case...this should help him feel better and it can't HURT to give him the highest dose for now. :)

How should I be giving the cornsilk, d mannose and Cantharis now? I remember you saying something about weaning down the dose after a week of use? I haven’t done that yet.
 
I’m curious to see how many other people use it here and might start a new thread and ask
 
How long ago was the last flare? And you've been giving the cornsilk 3 times a day, correct? I'd probably drop the cornsilk to twice a day, still 7 drops for the next week. Then I'd drop to the cornsilk 4 drops twice a day for about a month...I don't do that every time, but I did the first time because I wanted to hopefully heal any low grade inflammation hanging around. Keep the D Mannose at 1/8 tsp twice a day for now. It works well in conjunction with the cornsilk. As for the Cantharis, if Skittles is feeling better, I'd probably stop giving it for now. Start up again at the first sign of discomfort.

As for the CBD, that looks like it is specifically for pets, so I'd go with the 1/2 dropper suggestion they give for cats.

How is Skittles doing these days? And how are YOU doing?

Hey !
I believe it’s been 10-11 days since his last flare up. He is
RUNNING around PLAYING! He hasn’t did that in a long time
His BG has dropped back down now. His SS is kinda misleading unless the notes are read. For example the other his PMPS looks high but that’s because it was 6 hrs he was due. I now dose around his BG #’s. But that day I had go somewhere. I will explain this later tonight
Still haven’t started the CBD oil , hopefully tonight or tomorrow
I’m doing better, started back at the gym. I’m actually going right now so I will be back later :)

Hi
About 10 days now
 
That's GREAT news Sherri! It sounds like he is really feeling better...what a relief. I know how miserable it is to see them suffering. I love hearing that he is running around and playing like before!

And you going back to the gym is great too! It will help your stress levels which will help him too.

What do you mean by dosing around the BG? I saw the note about it being +6...makes sense that you gave no shot that morning. Are you walking the dose back to your shot time now?
 
That morning he was to low and yeah, needed to more his time so I waited 6 hrs. I had been skipping doses all together if he was to low but now I give a lower dose. Like tonight for his PM he was 154, waited 30 mins, retested he was 165 so I gave him about 1 1/4 U

What dose should I do for the cornsilk & d Mannose now?
 
Wish I knew how to post a video, have some of him playing. He has 2 new toys coming tomorrow.
I’m still to nervous to let my guard down. Those 4 flares up in 7 days & his high BG was rough!!
I still haven’t started the CBD oil yet
 
What doses of cornsilk & d mannose should I be giving now?
Anyone that uses these, how long does a bottle of each last Y'all?
 
Cantharis—— I didn’t know that I’m not supposed to touch it , and I’ve been putting it in his food.

I’ve lowered to giving ;
cornsilk 7 drops twice daily
D-mannose 1/8 tea twice daily

Can I give to much D-Mannose at once? And should I be dropping to once a day now?

And I keep giving the cornsilk every single day, but up the amount per day if he flares up?

Or do I have this all backwards?
 
@Rachel will have to advise. I gave you the link to the thread where she summarized it all. You might have to experiment to see what works best with Skittles. It isn't one size fits all.

Yes, continue the 7 drops/twice a day for cornsilk for a week. Then drop to 4 drops twice a day.

I'm not sure that you can really give too much D Mannose. I'd stick with it twice a day for now probably...it works well with the cornsilk.

What I'd do is after a week, drop the cornsilk to 4 drops twice a day, D Mannose 1/8 tsp twice a day and keep doing that for a month. Then you can stop probably.

Yes, if he flares, go back up to 7 drops 4 times a day with the cornsilk.

Don't worry too much about the cantharis. I try not to touch it too much, but sometimes I do and I don't let it bug me.

As Kris said, you may need to experiment some too. I found what works best for my girls, but sometimes things work better for other people and cats.
 
BTW, his BG has really dropped since his flare up and being off his meds. It’s kinda low today...
 
That's a great sign - it means the inflammation is going down. It also means you'll need to keep an eye on his numbers during the cycle if you can today.
