Yesterday
Good morning!
AMPS 63 shooting .1u

Boomer needed to have a num-num crumpled on his +3, he totally ignored his +6, and he woke me up just before +9....I waited until I heard the auto feeder turn and he made no move to go to the kitchen so I got up and had to sprinkle num-num on it.

Speaking of treats---I did hear back from Purebites yesterday but they gave me the guaranteed analysis instead of the dry matter or as-fed numbers that I had asked for. So I responded again asking for dry matter or as-fed. Haven't heard back. And I still haven't called Purina...it's on the to-do list.

lovely AMPS Boomer!!!

I hope you have a good day Judy!

 

[Doodles & Karen]

That's a great start this morning Booms! I think the other day he was just being a cat. Sorry about the overnight meals not getting much better. Is he sleeping with you where it's nice and warm?

I still think it was the salmon although not sure whether it was the food or the treats. My carb-sensitive little boy
Yes he's sleeping with me for part of the night; sometimes up where I can put my arm around him and sometimes closer to my feet!

Nice start for Boomer. I hope you can get the information you need from PureBites.

Maybe he's just to warm and cozy to bother getting up to eat...silly boy.

[Olive & Paula]

Very nice Boomer.

HMMM this is interesting... my BF always says the pure bites makes Dre go up in BG and I always have to be Dre's attorney LOL
He does get it quite a bit chicken and wild side salmon vita mixed together..... I make it part of his meals-and snacks.
Wondering if the BF was right? (not that I would tell him)

 

[Bobbie And Bubba]

What a great AMPS! I hope you know who reads this condo today!

The chicken seems to be fine, at least it doesn't seem to affect Boomer's levels. But something sure did the other day!

Looking GOOD Boomer!!

Surf safely Boomer!... Hope you had a great day Judy... sucks that so many carbs are hidden and we can't just know the numbers... would make that part a little easier at least

I always thought PureBites chicken treats were virtually carb free. Perhaps try another brand of freeze-dried chicken treats if you think they are raising Boomer's bgs? Rusty likes both Cat-man-doo and Whole Life.
Sorry that the night-time fuds are not being consumed as desired.
Maybe better luck tonight.

Hugs, scritches,

PureBites chicken treats were virtually carb free

He's had lots of the chicken ones and they are fine. A few days ago when his levels went up I was giving him salmon treats and wild calling salmon. I'm sure one of the two was the culprit!

 

[Ella & Rusty & Stu(GA)]

I'll bet it was the Wild Calling salmon.

 

[Judy and Boomer]

I'll bet it was the Wild Calling salmon.

And I believe you're right. But I thought I'd get the carb % from PureBites anyways. They responded to my email right away but with guaranteed analysis amounts. I replied to their email, no answer. I sent a new inquiry today; no answer yet.

omg k rereading your condo... kinda upset with lincolns numbers today... guess what breakfast was wc salmon.... a little less unhappy with his numbers looks like i failed him again not him not working dose

 

[Ella & Rusty & Stu(GA)]

guess what breakfast was wc salmon....

When I tried Wild Calling chicken on Rusty (several years ago) it spiked his blood glucose, too.

 

[Judy and Boomer]

omg k rereading your condo... kinda upset with lincolns numbers today... guess what breakfast was wc salmon.... a little less unhappy with his numbers looks like i failed him again not him not working dose

But I calculated the % from calories to be 5.71. So not that bad! Of course I could have made an error in the calculation. Or WC has given me the wrong info. Going over to check my calc out now.

 

[Lincolns Mom]

the morning i fed wc chicken is when he dropped low and saw green... and i dont think its your math... i am wondering about the info we are getting now...

 

[Judy and Boomer]

@Ella & Rusty & Stu(GA) @Lincolns Mom I checked my calculations. WC gave me both as fed and dry matter numbers so I calculated both. Using the as fed, the salmon is 5.70% of calories. Using the Dry Matter numbers, 5.71% of calories.
So it is still considered as low carb. But for Boomer.....he is very carb sensitive so the other foods he's getting are all around 2% to 3.5%. He gets Natures Variety chicken occasionally but I don't give it to him for a few meals in a row like I did with the salmon because Boomer isn't as fond of the NV chicken as he is of the salmon.

 

[Judy and Boomer]

the morning i fed wc chicken is when he dropped low and saw green... and i dont think its your math... i am wondering about the info we are getting now...

WC chicken is 2.52% carbs from calories. So really low. Maybe Lincoln is as carb sensitive as Boomer. If it's any help, I am currently feeding WC chicken at 2.52%, WC turkey at 3.18%, and hounds & gatos chicken at 1.93%.
