Re: Foster Cat Kitty PMPS: HI
so hang with me, trying to put this together, you were using the end of a vial or pen or lantus or lev the day of 14th when she got the run of low numbers? then didn't shoot for a few cycles, then started fresh pen of lev when shooting resumed at 0.1 units, i got that right?
really don't know how much stock i would put on the 14th if you were using who knows what for insulin and her just have gotten there. i know you missy, i know you get nervous with lower numbers (well of course everyone would with 20's yuck), but i mean regular green. she is a different cat, doesn't have the same issues you had to deal with before. (and i mean that in no way disrespectful to little gray. he was a wonderful boy that is missed. ((hugs)). i just mean she doesn't have same medical issues or age issues or independent ways).
"She's a very confident cat, and she never seemed freaked out. She made herself right at home in my walk-through closet/bathroom/bathtub. That's where she spends most of her time because she doesn't like other cats"
well...she might not have appeared stressed to you, but a new home, not liking the other cats in household, talking about major life stress issues for a feline here. the air of bravado that you are witnessing doesn't mean that she is not deeply stressed during that first few weeks. have you seen her play yet? or lay on back (the vulnerable position) yet?
oh before i forget, i mistyped before when i typed "in between numbers" i meant to type "if possible more numbers in between PS and the usual +5/+6 you are getting during day" there are hints (hard to tell yet) that she is an early onset/action cat and there might be some very interesting things happening during those hours and perhaps you are catching a number already on way up by +5. like that would explain tonight's super high number, yesterday during day that +6~161 was a number coming up from someplace much lower. kwim? hey those early action cats are good for people that like to go to bed soon after shooting!
there is something to be said for a cat who has most of action over by +3/+4.
glad she had litter box action. of course hard to tell yet if that was a touch of constipation or if it is her normal. you haven't known her long enough and there has been food changes going on. btw, when her numbers are high like this, wait her out before breaking down and adding the dry onto her food. see if she is playing ya and will give up when she gets hungry enough as the hours pass tonight.
you'll be around tomorrow to get some early cycle numbers and see if that is where focus needs to shift to? maybe this is not her dose, wanna see those numbers before saying anything....
