It's been so long since I created a thread, I had trouble remembering how!!!
I am going out of town Monday afternoon through Thursday afternoon
I have a sitter who may not be able to test every time -
His eating has been so erratic - one day he will eat something, the next day not. Today he ate no dry at all but some new wet food (last time that happened for several days in a row he got the worst pancreatitis episode ever). He eats so inconsistently and so little wet food, I do feel the need to supplement his calories with a little lower carb dry (he's been eating Epigen 90 but seem to be getting tired of that - only thing he will eat is Evo, which raises his sugar). He already had hepatic lipidosis so I can't chance not enough caloric intake. I was going to leave him with a vacation dose of 1unit, but I gave him that today and his +3.5 is 180 - we'll see how much lower he goes today
wondering what a safe dose would be - would you go lower than 1 unit?
