Hello all - so this is weird, Rocket has consistently high preshot numbers - except for this morning. Should I give him his full dose (currently 5.5) or reduce a bit? He's due for his shot in 10 minutes or so. (just a note, we're planning on switching to Levemir to see if that helps him a bit more - since he has acromegaly, he's extremely hard to control.)
I don't usually monitor Prozinc subforum. For dosing advice, you might want to tag a senior member (me, or someone else). If you look through Leo's spreadsheets you will see he was bouncy nearly all the time. I can't say enough bad stuff about Acro...and what it does to our poor Acro-kittehs.
I know. And thanks - the Levemir we ordered should be here Tuesday, so I’ll be posting in the Levemir forum sometime this weekend, as I’ll need dosing advice, advice on switching, and a couple more questions since in two weeks I’ll be in the hospital for a couple days. Ugh.
The levemir should help a little. I still find the levemir forum crowded. I recommended a change to have 1 permanent thread for each cat - to reduce the clutter. I think the daily condos lose the cat history and create more confusion. Good luck at the hospital. I haven't been in one for myself in decades.
Thanks. This'll be my first overnight stay. Is it normal that I'm more concerned with my cat than myself?
It is indeed normal. My whole world revolved around Leo for the last 4 years. There are many others on the forum who are just like us.
You’re in good company around here! I think you’ll like levemir. Do post on the L&L forum and get some advice about the switch.
Hey Keskat! I hope your surgery goes well! Sending some positive vibes your way rest up well! I hope that levemir works out for you and Rocket too!
Good luck with surgery. I am allergic to hospitals and scalpels. The good thing - modern medicine and doctors are highly trained and they have the best equipment.
