Little Bit is 115 for AMPS—will wait 20 minutes and test again. @Panic @JanetNJ

 

[Little Bit’s Mom]

Now he is at 119

 

[Little Bit’s Mom]

Should I give the token dose of .5? I won’t be home after +4-5 this afternoon until his PMPS, so don’t want him going too low.

 

[Little Bit’s Mom]

I have skipped so far since he’s below 150.

AGREE lol my heart was in my throat. lol

Oh goodness I’m sorry! Promise I read and try my hardest to follow the rules here. He is happy and resting now. Ate nearly a whole can and received his inhaler.

lol its ok...

[Little Bit’s Mom]

Just attempted to test and couldn’t get a large enough sample. It turned a bit chilly here and I suppose I didn’t heat the ear enough. He is eating now.

 

[Critter Mom]

Cold weather can make it trickier to get samples. Warming the ear for longer definitely helps.

Chilly? whats that? lol

Lol I’m in Florida, so it is all relative

I will have to try again so I can get a test in before I leave home. Thank you!

I've only been to the States once and that was to Florida in late January. Weather was beautiful!

Skip for sure

Skip for sure

Thank you! Glad I did the right thing. He’s at 365 now.

It is nice in January! It is the hot that I cannot stand. Which makes you wonder why I live here... lol.

322 PMPS

 

[Little Bit’s Mom]

I assume that he is ok to be given 3.25 units?

 

[jt and trouble (GA)]

You know what to do!

 

[jt and trouble (GA)]

You can always set an alarm to check on him.

 

[jt and trouble (GA)]

he did drop on his own didnt he?

 

[jt and trouble (GA)]

Dose Elizabeth help you? "painc"

 

[Little Bit’s Mom]

Dose Elizabeth help you? "painc"

Yes ma’am she does

 

[Little Bit’s Mom]

he did drop on his own didnt he?

The drop this morning? Yes ma’am. That was 12 hours past his last insulin.

 

[jt and trouble (GA)]

want me to tag her?

 

[jt and trouble (GA)]

@Panic sorry would you mind looking at this spread sheet?

 

[Little Bit’s Mom]

want me to tag her?

Please! I need to give him his insulin pretty soon—he just ate!

 

[jt and trouble (GA)]

DONE

 

[Little Bit’s Mom]

DONE

Thank you! I’ll wait for a few minutes

HMM. Let me tag @Deb & Wink
It could just be me (which is why I'm tagging Deb LOL) but it's starting to look like that 3.5u is giving too low of pre-shots the next morning for you to give full dose. So maybe 3.25u is better.

Deb might have already been on tonight and might not see this till tomorrow, not sure. You could try 3.5u again and maybe try to snag a late-night test maybe at +6 or so (set an alarm)?
Because 3.25u really isn't giving low nadirs ... but 3.5u is affecting your ability to give full dose. XD

Yes, perplexing! That little quarter of a unit is making a big difference.

 

[Panic]

One idea might be giving a "fat" 3.25u ... or a "skinny" 3.5u. But it's been a long time since I've even done that myself I'd need to read up on it again.

That might work. Kind of in between the two?

 

[Little Bit’s Mom]

Agreed!

Goodnight! Thank you so much for your support—I appreciate you!

 

[Panic]

Yes, from my understanding it's "barely" more than (fat) or barely less than (skinny) the regular dose. So if you did a skinny 3.5u it would be just a hair less, maybe take out a drop or two?

Night Jeanne!

Ok. I will try my best! Hopefully I can get it just right. Thank you! I was so surprised by that low AMPS!

Yup, in between the 0.25U doses are what we call "Fat" and/or "Skinny" doses. So just a touch more insulin or a touch less, can make a difference with some cats.
Record them on the SS as either 3.25F (F for Fat) or 3.5S (S for skinny).

@SashaV is using skinny and fat doses with her insulin sensitive cat Mauer. See her posts over in the Prozinc ISG forum here.

It did seem to help. He wasn’t too low to dose this morning. I will continue on with a 3.5S. Thank you.

@Panic @JanetNJ would you ladies look at LB’s SS and tell me your thoughts, please?

 

[Panic]

Hmm can't say for sure without recent mid-cycles but might be time for a bump, will have to see!

I’ll start taking more mid cycles—was letting the little ears have a break.
