Have a great day.

Thinking about switching back to TR - now that I have a little more experience and understand it better. The only thing is I would want to wait until 8-10 cycles to increase if needed - that is Gizmo's schedule for seeing movement on a dose.

I read over the protocols last night - what else is a big difference?

What do you all think?

 

Nice start for Gizmo. One of the differences is the number for a reduction. With SLGS it's 90. With TR it's under 50. I would have done TR if I had felt more comfortable increasing the dose during the work week. Instead I just tweaked SLGS and lowered the reduction to 50.

 

Nice AMPS Gizmo!

 

Nice start for Gizmo And as Carla said, the reduction point is different and no dry food on TR.

Have a nice day Lizzie .

 

Thank you. That is the kind of suggestions I am looking for. It doesn't matter about increasing on the weekends because he gets an initial small dip and then it takes 8-10 cycles to see. Like this morning (8th cycle), which puts me in the middle of the week

I want to be a little more aggressive. He doesn't hold reductions and I am trying to figure out what I can do about it. Now that he has had the dental and BW is good, I know that there isn't anything else going on except the possible pancreatitis flare.

IDK - just thinking out loud.

 

Thanks. It is also more aggressive on dose increases too? Right?
Gotta go check out Bubba's condo. So exciting!

 

You can also wait for three times under the reduction number before you take the reduction.

 

Yes, on TR you can change the dose every 3 days to 6 cycles.

 

TR worked well for Bronx and you monitor Gizmo closely enough. The only downside I guess would be the slight chance of going past that perfect dose, especially for low-dosage kitties. Nice start for the day!

 

I may run home at nadir and see what he does today. I should have time if the 9a meeting doesn't run too long.

Nice PMPS ...a kitty could go places from there

Good job on getting some PM+11s, they make morning shooting decisions much easier.

If it were me, I'd give TR a try.

 

I was doing TR when I started last fall. I had almost 4 weeks of vacation I had to take so it made it a bit easier of a decision. And he was much more bouncy then. I now know that 6 cycles are too quick for him - he needs at least 8, 10 is better to see the full affect of a dose. After the first of the year I backed off being AS aggressive due to work and no being able to test as frequently.

Now I have more knowledge, Gizmo isn't as bouncy and he has had his teeth cleaned and BW done a couple of weeks ago (everything good) and I think he is on the downward side of a pancreatitis flare (I hope).

I think I am going to try and do reductions after 3/under 50 and see how that goes. It is just hard. I am scared to push it that far, I haven't but I have to do something to see if I can at least get him regulated.

To be honest the numbers are bitter sweet tonight. Having a very difficult time.
