I had posted this to the main forum, and probably should have put it here:
This is within range with no Prozinc injections. I'm a little stymied. Saturday morning he came in at 328 pre-feeding, so he got his usual .5 injection.
Sat AM: 328 - shot
Sat PM: 205
Sun AM - 135
Sun PM - 155
Mon AM - 110
He is being fed consistently every 6 hours and testing is prior to eating.
I don't know if this is good or bad. I'm expecting a high reading tonight. Is the basis of giving insulin shots to keep them on an even keel (no highs, no lows), or is it okay I haven't given him a shot for a while. I have sent the number to our vet for her take on it. I waited until this morning because I didn't know if my DD had given him a shot at 135 (and was praying she hadn't -- she didn't).
