    He hasn't really wanted his wet food but will eat his YAZC. I just checked his BG and it was 52 on my human meter. Not sure why its so low , his normal is in the 60's . Everything else seems normal however he did vomit a few times this past week. Dasher lives to eat so I'm a little concerned right now.
    Any thought? Just a reminder Dasher is OTJ

    There are a number of reasons cats will vomit:
    fur balls
    acid stomach
    pancreatitis
    batch changes in the food
    etc.

    The general approach to vomiting is not to push more food, rather to let the GI tract rest before offering food again, in small amounts. Leave out plenty of fresh water.

    52 is a normal, great number. See BJM's Glucometer Notes in her signature line. Off insulin, the BG # can go as low as in the upper 30's and be fine.

    If vomiting continues, a visit to the vet would be a good idea.

    Okay thanks. I wonder if it has something to do with a batch change as both are not eating their normal amounts.
    I will read BJM's notes on OTJ .
