Given you are starting with a 0.25 unit dose of R, there is probably little risk to starting the R experiment. The biggest issue is if it drops him a lot and you want to slow the drop with food.

Has Howie ever had his B12 levels (cyanocobalamin) checked? S. boullardi doesn't work well for cats with low B12.

My vet and I were just talking about that this week and I think that would be our next check. He has been on methyl b12 from some issues with neuropathy since earlier this summer. That cleared up but I kept him on that and folic acid (in lieu of zobaline) until today. Does methyl b12 have effect on his b12 levels? I don’t understand all of this!

Yep! I’ll post! What info is helpful besides his AMPS? I’ll also continue to post his hourly levels. Thanks for all the help!

Great

so your post header will start with the date followed by your kitties name and AMPS. For example:
12/12 Howie - AMPS 237

As the cycle progresses you modify your header to include subsequent test results. In this way folks can get the picture of what’s been going on at a glance.

I see meal timings on your ss. Is he fed only the Dr Elseys clean protein turkey? What % carbs is that?

Yes, that’s his only food. As fed is 1.256% and DMB is 5.233%. And He only gets freeze fried turkey treats.
