Hi all,
Meadow's AMPS at 9am was 62! Needless to say, I did not give her any insulin.
She did not eat as well as usual last night....her asthma was giving her a bit of trouble last night and this morning she seemed to have a bit of an upset tummy because she vomited up a tiny amount of clear liquid. But then she ate a FF Appetizer at 6am after turning her nose at several other flavors of FF and ProPlan. And at 9am she ate 1/2 can of FF beef flavor.
I have some questions..one I asked yesterday but it must have been missed in the midst of all the other replies. Can she have her breakfast at the normal 6am time that she is used to and not get her insulin until 9am along with a little more food? No way I can make her and all the other cats wait until 9am to eat because they have been eating at 6am forever and scream incessantly if they don't get fed at that time. If that's not conducive to good control, I'll have to ease her back into the 6am/6pm cycle we started at. And since she did not get any insulin this morning so far, I assume I could start that 6/6 split at 6pm tonight?
Also, I read somewhere (either here or on the yahoo boards) that fish should only be given once or twice a week. Can anyone tell me the reason for this? Meadow loves the fish flavors of FF and eats them the best.
TGIF everyone! :smile:
