26 Sept | Girlie | AMPS 466; +2=362; +5=142 Reduction bounce?

Condo: http://www.felinediabetes.com/FDMB/...ps-207-2-158-4-59-atrak2-reduce-again.184375/

Big bounce after reduction to 0.1 on PM of 24 Sept. I'm wondering whether I should hold this dose and see how she goes today or whether I should consider this a failed reduction and go back up to 0.25 tonight for her PM shot...

Today: 26 Sept:
AMPS=466; +2=362

Yesterday: 25 Sept:
AMPS: 295
+2= 207
+5+121
+7=202
+9=254
+11=270
PMPS: 245
+2=301
+9=434

 

Can't give you any advice, but I wanted to check on the two of you. Come on Girlie, work that juice!!

 

Ooo good question. One for the experts
You're lowest yesterday was 121 which is respectable number on a AlphaTrack but some room for improvement. Wonder if you should wait. I'm thinking out loud

 

My recollection of TR is you hold the dose for 6 cycles...then evaluate based on nadirs? Is this where @Wendy&Neko would say have patience?! But I'm SLGS so maybe I'm misreading the general TR guideline

 

On failed reductions you don't have to wait 6 cycles. On increases you wait 6 cycles unless they earn a reduction. In Girlie's case since she likes to do crazy dives I wonder if waiting another cycle to see if she evens out is a good idea.

 

Ah, ok so you can technically have a failed reduction in TR but not SLGS. Still developing my knowledge base , there is really a lot to absorb

 

That's correct

You watch her close enough to go back up. I might give her another cycle or so just incase she has a cat trick up her paw.

 

Come on Girlie, work the juice!

 

She's working it! Down to 142 @+5. So good to see blues...maybe she'll do well on this dose - I hope so!

Curious how some cats just go a steady blue with some greens thrown in, whereas Girlie has blues and greens and then throws yellows in. I'm sure part of it is my fault!

 

After a low that earns a reduction, you wait as long as it takes for the bounce to clear to decide if the reduction has failed. As bounces can take 6 cycles to clear, people will often wait that length of time to see if the reduction is holding. But not all cats take six cycles to clear a bounce. ECID. Today is cycle 4.

 

I agree with Wendy .. I think she's working on clearing the bounce.
