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!!

 

[Beenie (GA)]

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

 

[Beenie (GA)]

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.

 

[Christie & Maverick]

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

Ah, ok so you can technically have a failed reduction in TR but not SLGS

That's correct

go back up to 0.25

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!

 

[Girlie's mom]

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!

 

[Wendy&Neko]

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.

 

[Mandy & Rex (GA)]

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