I'm kinda laughing here. Only because you guys seems to really know me well already. Freaking out is what I do these days with Olive.
I think it's really sound advice. I'm just afraid of a catastrophe if her BG goes as high as it has in the past. When she reached about 650 at her highest, I was a basket case worried she'd have a seizure or something. The ironic thing is that she acts her BEST when her BG is higher. Can't figure that one out.
I suppose that's the plan, although I'm uncertain about giving her the 0.01 at +12 because she's still only 114+10. Any suggestions on that? I just fed her a half hour ago, so she's got two hours to go until the PMPS. The great news is that she LOVES the FF turkey and giblets. Hubby picked some up on his way home from work. Normally I would have held off for her largest meal of the day to be timed with the insulin, but she went crazy eating and there was no way I was going to stop her. It's the most food she's had in one sitting since before diagnoses.
Whoa eye opener!
She almost died just one week into the vets special kidney disease food, so we took her health into our own hands (Just as we're now having to do with Olive) and by switching her to raw it extended her life by 4 years and in the end it wasn't KD that claimed her but cancer. She was a happy kitty until those final weeks. We've watched how raw food has transformed our other cat, Cindy, into a kitten again and Cindy is about 14-15. I know vets seem to be anti-raw, but I'm a firm believer in it. I wonder what it is about raw that these vets are against when cats are obligate carnivores by nature. Anyways, for the rest of the day I'm going to feed Olive whenever she's hungry, not really sticking to any kind of time schedule as I have. The important thing to me is getting some weight back on her first.
Salmonella its the one thing that stops me but its a very hot house here. I dont trust raw and heat.
I wouldn't either. Thing is, if the girls don't eat their raw food right away, it's picked back up and refrigerated, so it's never left out in our house.
Yaaaay I agree with picking up the food and refrigerating it . Zoe is a grazer never eats her food all at once or even half. Right now I put her dish in a pan of water (to keep the ants out) and put ice cubes in the pan to keep her food cooler.
I mean the needle guide 
This comes to mind to help you out. These are marvelous. We bought two of these about 3 years ago...one for food and one for water during the phase of Sophie's life when we HAD to leave her raw food out for a little while just so she could graze. After 2 hours we always dumped what remained, but the food always stayed COLD. With Cindy, she eats her food so fast there's no need for it anymore. It might be just the thing for you.
VERY COOL!
Wow thank you for that. It looks plastic???
Oh, and your black cat looks just like our Cindy.
Hi Waldo!
Mine was all stainless steel as I don't use plastic either for anything raw. If it's no longer stainless steel I'm sure you can find one out there that is. The ice pack in mine is actually the exact shape as the bowl itself which was way cool and it kept everything cold for a good 8 hours.
How exciting! Best wishes for Olive. Glad she likes the FF!
