Still bouncing? Should I lower dose?

Ebby is still getting pretty high pre shot numbers. Should I stay at 1 unit for awhile longer, or possibly try a .5 dose? She was at a .5 dose before her dental and didn't seem to do much, but she also had a bad infection. This was also before I was able to get blood tests, so I don't have data for those times. She seems pretty active and happy during her highs; if anything seems a little dopy and lethargic during her lower numbers.

One thing I find interesting is she had her best day, number wise, when she went to the vet in the morning. That day she had a +11 of 113. It's weird, because I would have assumed that that was a stressful day for her, and would have sent her numbers higher. I have tried to look into the dosing protocol for prozinc, but from what I have read there is no exact formula to go by, so any more information from others would be wonderful.

 

I would up the dose to 1.25 When you did the curve on 5/28, she didn't drop too low so you have room to increase. Her numbers aren't bad but can certainly go down.

Generally the guideline is to wait 3 cycles, getting midcycle and preshot numbers. If she is not in regulated numbers (Around mid 200 for preshot and double digits for nadir, but not below 40) then increase by .25
