Hi, everyone! I know Shadow and I haven't been around much for a few years - LOTS of stuff going on - but here's a short update and a food question....
Hi, Rachel! It took a bit but I just tested him at +7 and he was 94. He was 364 am pre-shot(3 units) and 195 at +3 or was it +4. Anyway, I am also...
Has Dr. Pierson updated catinfo.org since the advent of dry foods like Young Again, Evo etc? Dry foods with little or no carbs? I know her major...
Nothing much has changed in Mr. Shadow's routine. He had a great day in blue numbers at 3.5 units U100 BCP but now is hanging in the mid-300's. I...
In early 2002, I used both Regular insulin and BCP PZI with Velvet PuffPaws. I used the Regular to lower her bg until the PZI then kicked in a few...
Ha! Gave 2 units and at 11 pm, he was 404! Lesson learned, eh? I gave him 1 unit at 11 pm and am hoping there won't be too much overlap in the...
Just checked at 6 pm; bg 230 so gave 2 units and will watch closely.
After an increase from 3.0 to 3.5 units of BCP PZI two days ago, Shadow has finally hit the 'blue' numbers. He dropped from 291 a.m. pre-shot to 133...
Thanks so much, Robin. It's a juggling act with feeding for sure. First I set up the testing stuff for Shadow then I take his bowl INTO the...
Robin: here is the link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1F9vfjkt3t441z0FA8xktV7uVpZ0hBu-cPzsVF9vb29k/edit#gid=361360320 I hope that works....
Yesterday Shadow ran in the lower 200's after 4 days on a PZI dose of 2.5 units. It was good to see that! It all went to hell this morning when both...
t Thanks for the reminder about the fish. I will begin a change with that. The tuna is primarily to flavor the green beans but I can do that with...
I am hoping slow and steady wins the race. After starting over and increasing Shadow's dose of BCP PZI U100 in .5 unit increments every 5-7 days,...
I am going to increase his dose to 1.5 units bid starting this evening. I am impatient because in my mind the longer he runs at higher numbers the...
Hi, Sue. Thanks for your response. His last curve on 3/16 on .5 units was in the 300's, mostly upper. I increased to 1.0 units and let it sit for...
Shadow will have been on a 1 unit dose of PZI for a week tomorrow, when I will run a full curve. There isn't much change in his numbers overall....
I maintained Shadow's dosage at .5 units for one week, per vet request. He tested in the 300's most of the time(see spreadsheet). Increase to 1.0...
Conferred with Shadow's vet yesterday and we agreed to reduce his PZI dose back to .5 units for a week and to lay off testing other than pre-shot....
Hi, Rhiannon! Thanks for the welcome and all things SHADOW!!! Shadow is actually the third diabetic cat I have had and also the third BLACK diabetic...
