It seems Fa is very bouncy. Our vet suggested we reduce the dose to see. I am hesitant.

Any suggestion?
 
Reducing the dose will not help bring lower numbers. It will give you flatter, higher numbers. The bouncing will eventually settle down once Fa's body gets used to lower numbers. It may seem you are doing the opposite of what you should do, but the best thing is to keep increasing per SLGS and let Fa's body get used to better numbers. Bouncing is part of the process.

How long can it take? Her biggest drop was 18/324 if I remember right. So is it ok I stay the same dose for now?
 
Each cat is different in how long it takes. Some cats bounce all the way to remission. With SLGS you should do a curve every 7 days to evaluate the dose. If you are able to, you should get a curve this weekend and see how low the dose is taking Fa.
