Good Morning LLers,

Enana is looking good. Today she stood by her door and meowed :-D . She used to do that every morning at my door, before she got sick :cool:

All 5ps are present...some more than once, if you know what I mean *wink*wink*

Have a great Tuesday!

Re: 2/22 Enana AMPS 280 +10 283

+10 283

Most of the food I leave in the auto-feeder was gone. She is now resting by the window.


Thanks Peter, I hope you have a great rest of the day too.

She is so very playful and cute. Today her tortie attitude came out when Gordo walked past her and she just swatted him! She is 8 pounds...He is 20! :lol: :lol:

He just hisses...hiss hiss hiss...she just just looks at him like he is a fly on the wall. She almost rolls her eyes :roll:
 
Re: 2/22 Enana PMPS 264 Question after the fact.

Ok. I shot her already but just to know for next time. Her BG was dropping. I think I read somewhere, or someone said something about shooting when numbers are dropping....

I cannot recall what it was :oops:
 
Re: 2/22 Enana PMPS 264 +1 208

Hi Natalia. I like Enana's tude today. Get, get, get, it girl!!! Choco is zonked out on the bed and I'm hoping to be zonked out with him here real soon. I hope Enana takes it easy on Gordo although it is funny to think of a torti rolling her eyes. :lol: Have a good night and an even better day tomorrow.
 
Re: 2/22 Enana PMPS 264 +1 208 +2 131 Question?

We've got another cliff diver, kids! LOL

The dramatic drops always stop your heart a little when you first encounter them. Some cats are just divers... check out Gabby and Mannie's spreadsheets for just a couple examples. Enana will probably see some bounces off fast drops, but as her liver learns to be okay with low numbers, they will be less frequent and less severe. If you have some medium carb food, you can give a little of that to help slow things down a little.

Blue is good!! Enana will probably even see some green tonight! I'd try to stay awake to at least get a +4, and if possible a +5 to help you better gauge how low she's headed.

You're doing great!
 
Re: 2/22 Enana PMPS 264 +1 208 +2 131 Question?

Thanks Maria :-D

I'm glad that I'm off tomorrow because I have the feeling that tonight is going to be a long night for me. ~O)

Sleep well and give Choco and hug for me. I hope he gets OTJ soon!
 
Re: 2/22 Enana PMPS 264 +1 208 +2 131 Question?

Phewww, I'm so glad Christie answered. I was getting a little worried too. Enjoy your day off Natalia. I'll be working from home tomorrow so I'll probably be testing him throughout the day as well. Good luck tonight! Getcha a ~O) or two or three. :smile:
 
Re: 2/22 Enana PMPS 264 +1 208 +2 131 Question?

Thanks Christie.

I was trying to get the carb content of the FF with gravy that I have but I couldn't find the list. Binky's Food table (at least the one I have) doesn't mention food with gravy. :?

I have checked out all the spreadsheets in this place...and the only pattern that I can see for most cats is that they go from yellow/pink to green/blues and back up again. Very interesting. I teach Math....my brain looks for patterns...even where there are none :lol:

I'll stay awake as late as I have to. Anything for her. cat_pet_icon
 
Re: 2/22 Enana PMPS 264 +1 208 +2 131 +3 97 Advice?

Which FF are medium carb? Where can I find the carb content of FF with gravy?

She was 95 at +3 two days ago.... nailbite_smile nailbite_smile nailbite_smile nailbite_smile nailbite_smile
 
Re: 2/22 Enana PMPS 264 +1 208 +2 131 +3 97 ???

You're doing great, Natalia! Just hang in there and keep testing. :) It looks like Willie's taking me for a ride tonight too, so I'll be up for a bit at least.

For the Fancy Feast foods, use the "old" list on Janet and Binky's page. Gravy varieties are generally 18%. I wouldn't bust out those until you see numbers in the 60s. Remember... greens are good! :)

Willie was just diagnosed in December, so believe me, the tummy flutters at low numbers are still fresh! You'll want a +4 and a +6 at the least.

Enana has a nice surf going!! :)

ETA: Here is the link to the old table: Janet & Binky's Old Chart
 
Re: 2/22 Enana PMPS 264 +1 208 +2 131 +3 97 ???

Willie's number look good! But yes ;-) it looks like you are going to be up too...our beautiful kitties :lol:

That's the list I have, but it doesn't list anywhere FF foods with gravy... @-)

Thanks for your help Christie. I'm sure you feel that it has been a year since he got diagnosed isnt it? Enana was diagnosed 3 weeks ago and I feel like it has been much longer than that.

I know it gets easier, and it has...maybe Im still in shock that my life changed completely from one minute to the next. I'm glad I'm not alone in this ride.
 
Re: 2/22 Enana PMPS 264 +1 208 +2 131 +3 97 ???

They don't say "with gravy," but the ones with 18% carbs all have it. Which varieties do you have?

It is amazing how much my life has changed in two months... crazy how much time has flown and how much progress we've made and how much I've learned. I'm working now to shift my schedule to make sure I'm taking care of myself in all of this. But seeing my guy happy and playing for the first time in years... it's totally worth it.

Besides. Sleep is totally overrated. :)
 
Re: 2/22 Enana PMPS 264 +1 208 +2 131 +3 97 ???

I have learned tons too. I'm glad she is still with me as I thought I was going to loose her. I hope I can learn to say that sleep is overrated :lol: I didn't sleep much before, I barely sleep now. Going to the sleep doctor tomorrow to see what it can be done.

I have Chicken Feast with Gravy, Salmon Feast in Gravy, Seafood Feast in gravy and Turkey Feast in sauce.
 
Re: 2/22 Enana PMPS 264 +1 208 +2 131 +3 97 +4 68 Help

How late can you be up to test? If you can be up for a bit, I would probably feed the 68 some normal food (1/2 tsp or so) and test again in 30 min. 68 is a great number...and you don't want to bust out the gravy just yet.
 
Re: 2/22 Enana PMPS 264 +1 208 +2 131 +3 97 +4 68 Help

+4 68 Should I give her some HC? I just gave her some LC... nailbite_smile nailbite_smile nailbite_smile nailbite_smile nailbite_smile
 
Re: 2/22 Enana PMPS 264 +1 208 +2 131 +3 97 +4 68 Help

I am off work tomorrow. I just gave her some of her LC. Sunday she got to 63 and I just gave her some of her LC and she went up a little bit.

I'm so glad she is in green. I want her to heal.
 
Re: 2/22 Enana PMPS 264 +1 208 +2 131 +3 97 +4 68 +4.5 83

Decent food bounce, though keep in mind that with the meter's 20% MOE, those numbers aren't necessarily as different as they may look. Keep testing every 30... you've likely got at least another 1.5 hrs before Enana nadirs, so there is still room for downward movement you'll want to keep an eye on. I wouldn't go to sleep until you have two back to back rising numbers. I will be up for at least another 30 minutes and if Enana is still falling, we'll formulate a game plan to get you through!
 
Re: 2/22 Enana PMPS 264 +1 208 +2 131 +3 97 +4 68 +4.5 83

Thanks Christie! I'll keep checking up on her. I have noticed that her nadirs are almost always very early in the cycle. I dont know if I am seeing things correctly.

I see Willie is going up too :)
 
It's okay. :) I'd say when you're feeding low numbers, you want to stick to around 1/2 tsp per sitting. Enough to give a little boost. I found when Willie was just starting, he was crazy sensitive to food. Even now, because he eats mostly raw that is 0% carbs, an 8% will make a big difference.

Enana is looking great tonight. I would probably get a +6 to be sure, but I don't anticipate any drops that would require immediate attention from here on out.

Seriously... good job tonight. Welcome to the club! :)
 
Thanks Christie for all your help.

She lost about half of her body weight in about 3 weeks....she is a small cat, hence the "enana". My instincts tell me to feed her...but I am understanding that too much is detrimental to her health. I have been reading Dr. Lisa's page, I have to change the free feeding too, but I'm afraid because of her history with ketones.

Thanks again for all your help. Nite.
