Please read! amps 188

I’m technically at the 10 hour test mark with Kya but it’s also her amps. 188. She got 1.5 last night. My question is i have to leave for work in an hour. Should I skip the shot this morning or just give low dose. It will inevitably rise I know that. She is eating now.

 

I made the decision to give her .75 this morning at 450am based on that number and previous numbers on her spreadsheet. I also left small snacks in times feeder for +2 hours and +4 hours. This cat.... she must have gone into the dark greens during the night or the 1.5 dose last night is the correct dose. Throwing me for a loop. I didn’t want her going without anything all day. I hate my schedule sometimes.

 

Good call! You're doing well and figuring out her patterns. Thank heavens for that spreadsheet!

 

Thank you. I have seen it’s worse to not give a dose at all. Does high preshot numbers mean I should be concerned with ketones? I did do a ketone urine text the other day and it was negative

 

No, a high PS is not a big problem ketone wise. It's being in high BGs constantly that increases the risk. It usually involves something else to tip them over the edge - vomiting, infection, etc.

 

Noticing today more water bowl visits and more wet spot in the litter box this evening when I cleaned it out. About 5 or 6 spots. Its been 1 or 2 a day for awhile now since she was put on 2 doses a day Is this attributed to the higher numbers?

 

Yes, the will usually drink and pee more until they become better regulated.

 

Ok thank you. I really thought .75 was the right dose but she threw me a curve ball. I hope I can get it back to good numbers soon. Still trying 1.25 except for this morning. Just trying to be extra cautious and watch for any changes. The 2 days she had to be in the hospital was not fun.
