When are kitties considered out of danger zone? Is it so long after food is given? I know BG going up is food influenced at first.
 
I like to say it this way....Once they're above 50, test in 30 minutes....if they're still above 50, test again in 30 minutes....if they're still OK at that point, test 1 more time an hour later (for a total of 2 hours after the last time you gave HC food or Karo)

If they drop below 50 again at any time, that 2 hour "clock" starts over
 
I'd give him a little more gravy (like a small baby spoonful) and some regular food.....test again in 45-an hour....if he's still OK at that point, I think you'd be good for the rest of the night
 
Wow - sorry...only just saw that I'd been tagged. I got my hand just about ripped apart by Roxi because she didn't want to be tested, so I was away from the computer for a bit! I'm glad to see you were in very safe hands and you've got Smoky back into the safe zone.
 
Just an update for Smoky, AMPS 262, not unexpected since he dropped so low last night. I need some advice on what dose to give, definitely don't want to give 2 units after the bounce this morning.
 
Years ago I had a big male kitty who hated being put in a carrier. I took him to the vet to be neutered, and as I was leaving I suggested to them that they might want to put him back in his carrier before all the sedation had completely worn off; they very huffily advised me that they knew what they were doing and would not have any problems getting him back in his carrier. Fast forward a few hours to when I got there to pick him up - the vet and all the techs were wearing bandages and looks of chagrin, lol!

It's a lot better this morning, thank you. I have a couple of bandages on it, but fortunately it doesn't look as though it's going to need medical attention. :)

That happened to me with Rosa when she was quite young. I'd held her while they sedated her (for X-Rays) and they were certain they would be able to handle her after she woke up. When I got there to pick her up later on, they asked me if I'd like to go back to the recovery area and get her out of the kennel myself because none of them dared touch her. The really funny thing was that Rosa was all noise - she never once actually hurt anyone, but she knew how to make them all believe she might!
