Re: 3/8 Rocky AMPS 347
what a very dramatic 520 last night! he's letting us know his liver is in super working condition!
I do know what the problems are that you face in getting him more exercise - i totally get it - you have your hands full!! My only point was that there are several things that can make a difference in BGs and ticking off all of them before trying R is (in my opinion) the best way to go. Very glad you've divided up his meals. It might take a while before you see that making a difference - in fact, i'd think even a few weeks.
Saw your question yesterday about stool color - i have no idea but don't think i'd worry too much about it until/unless you're seeing some other issues.
So now Rocky's off into another bounce. Let's hope he clears it as quickly as he's been doing.
When I wanted to get punkin walking, I got a harness first and put it on him for short times in the house to let him get used to it. Then i added the leash and, still in the house, tried just following him around while i held it. Eventually we tried outside and I was quick to pick him up if he started pulling on it or freaking out, then trying again another day. It did take a while, but we were taking him and Anya to Colorado for him to get the acro treated and i wanted him used to it before then. He was pretty big and went crazy in a carrier trying to dig his way out, so the leash and harness really were important for us. When we did go for "walks" i just followed him and went where he went. got my face plastered in spider webs a couple of very unpleasant times :shock: before i learned to sweep my arm in front of me when we went through shrubs. He had a couple of places he always liked to check out - the catnip plant always got extra attention, one neighbor's driveway was slightly higher than the rest of the neighborhood (we had to stop there and survey his kingdom - i took a book with me), he always sprayed two shrubs and he always wanted to slink under our fence to our next door neighbor's yard. that was the only thing i didn't let him do because i couldn't possibly fit. :lol:
If you have Rocky with his own harness and leash, and carry him outside to start the walk, he's not going to spread it to any of your other animals.
