Thank you. Now that I've had a chance to do a bit of research, I'm leaning toward it being an acute pancreatic attack based on her symptoms of loss...
I dont know how to access Google drive to share my spreadsheet, but I'm not sure the info would be useful anyway as I have not recorded any numbers...
I think I may be to blame. Her sister refuses to eat any canned food unless it has gravy, and although Smudge only gets fed pates, she is fond of...
Smudge came off insulin (Lantus) 6 months ago and has been doing well, with BG spot checks showing her in the range of 6 to 8.6. Last night at...
I made a judgement call and gave her a unit. She was 11 at +3. All good. Thank you for your responses.
As some of you know by my recent post, I've had a heck of a time getting Smudge's numbers down. She now seems to have made good progress in the past...
25.6 this morning. ☹ I will add the dosing method to the spreadsheet.
She was 15.1 at PMPS +6. (She had a snack just after +4). I can sleep now.
I'll stay up.
I should also point out my vet recommended keeping her on a dry food - IN VERY LIMITED AMOUNTS - as we didnt want to make sudden multiple changes...
I just tested her (+4) and she was 7.3! I want to celebrate, but is that too rapid a drop from her PMPS of 18.3? To calculate the carbs, I add the...
The dry food is the ProPlan Diatetic Management (DM). I realize it's high at 18% carb, but she rarely eats it because she doesn't like it and since I...
I can absolutely add in an evening test. I'd like to do this at the +4 mark, as that's when I give her another small meal, and I dont want the food...
She doesnt throw up, nor does she have any bathroom issues. I used Dr Lisa's food list to figure out which brands I could find here in Canada, but I...
I've had two 38's and a 37.
Two weeks ago, I finally got Smudge on to pate (lots of different brands and flavours but all <6 carbs) by adding a homemade broth to give it a more...
So will it be okay today to feed her at noon even though I'm testing every 2 hrs? I'll read up on the ketone testing.
Can you please tell me more about ketone testing. My vet has never mentioned this, so I have no experience.
I'm confused about optimal feeding. She has always been fed 1/2 small can AM and PM, and then allowed to eat free choice dry (1/2 cup per day between...
At +2 she was 19.1. At +4 she was 18.4. I'll test again at +6 and then give her a small meal.
