Shoot! (no pun intended) Well, save your strips and start over again tonight. You might ask BJ about a new scale. She is getting some nice numbers in the below and above 200 range - maybe it'd be a good idea to have a little different dose for each range?
 
No test before work.

AMPS = 435 @ 9:15AM
Possible fur-shot last night.

0.75 unit @ 9:30AM

297 @ 2:30PM (+5)

I used a different version of your word. :lol:

I agree that she was getting nice numbers using 0.75 unit.

High AMPS today "might" be from fur-shot last night. I don't really know for sure. @-)

I will pm BJ for a new scale in case she doesn't see your post.
 
I am thinking maybe a teeny bit less when she is under 200, the .75 in the 200s and maybe teeny bit more over 250. It could probably just be fat and skinny doses of the .75?

Food really brings her up. You're doing Friskies, right? What's the carb count? (just wondering if anothe flavor with a few less carbs might bring her down a bit and eliminate the need for tweaking the dose.)

Yes...Friskies. Depending on the flavor....carbs between 6 and 9. She eats like a pig....pees like a horse. Poop has a sickening sweet smell that permeates the whole house.......YUK !!!
 
Well, if you get bored (yeah, right :mrgreen: ) you might keep track of flavors fed and see if the 6 carb corollate with the lower numbers and the 9 with the higher. Some cats are very carb sensitive and just a few points lower in carbs can mean a different range of numbers. (if she would be under 250-270 consistently, she would be below the renal threshold, giving her pancreas the optimum chance to heal. If she was in the mid200s at preshot and 100s at nadir, she would be regulated. Also good.)

The 6 carb flavors are the fish type....not good for everyday....right? My civies are fussy about the flavors and RumpelT usually scarfs up whatever they don't finish. She is like a food vacuum cleaner. (Oh Wow...just had a deja vu typing this.) Anyhoo.....my civies get dry food + Friskies to pick from....RumpelT still eats her food in the powder room (segregation !!! ). Civies look at me an hour or two after meal-time like they want to eat again. I am not sure they are eating enough throughout the day....they are not skinny or anything....ahhhh I guess it is just the 'feed me now' look. :roll:
 
No, you don't want to feed fish daily. Wonder about checking the charts and seeing if you can find something a little lower but still Friskies. You could save that flavor for only her and let the civies eat the higher stuff.

Looks like Special Diets Friskies run in the 5 range - not sure about them. Liver and Chicken is 7; so is Supreme Supper.

I will get some of those when I paid on Friday. Just did a Friskies run on Monday to the tune of 48 cans !!!! I go through between 10 to 12 cans a day. :roll:
 
Have you tried the larger cans of.friskies? don't know how price compares, but may be easier for that volume. 13.5 oz, instead of 5.5 oz.

I cannot seem to find the larger cans in more than 1 or 2 flavors. Fussy civies have a smorgasboard 3 times a day. RumpelT will eat ANYTHING. ohmygod_smile
