I could really use some experienced opinions/advice on how I should adjust Stinky's dosage. Please take a look at his ss & see how crazy his #'s are & that 1 unit is obviously too much. He's fed 4 small meals/day & food is currently: Special Kitty or Sophistacat (per Binky's list) & he was on Purina EN w/a bit of Friskies for flavor, but has been off the Purina EN for 1 week. He also had a bowl of dry food that he shared w/1 other cat, though he ate it more often than she did. It had been a mix of Science Diet Age Defying & Purina One Beyond, and they got 1/2 cup per day total. I switched it to Innova EVO this past weekend, since they've had it before & it wouldn't really require a transition. I then reduced it from 1/2 cup to 1/4 cup, and so far today, I have not given them any. He is acting fine (crabby as usual!) but I just don't want to get into a situation where the too-high dose sends him into hypo. I have my Karo, feeding syringes, higher carb food...but would much rather avoid that situation! Also, how often should I be checking his BG for now? At this point, I've been checking it AMPS & if he didn't get a shot, then I check it pre-lunch & PMPS, unless one of the readings gives me an indication to do it more often. In March, his pancreatic enzymes were elevated, but the vet never actually diagnosed him w/pancreatitis, she rechecked him in Jun & Sep and said levels were good/OK.
