We’re doing that inch downward thing again, leaving less and less buffer while feeding almost every hour during first half of cycle, sometimes including slightly higher carbs like some churu treat.

So I decided to squeak down her dose from a slim 7.25 to 7 tonight. This would also be about the dose she would receive if I were to use the calipers with calculation of a 7.25u dose with a 1.25mm to 1u conversion which is the ratio Marje had published for my syringe type.

I do hope we will see some lift tomorrow with this dose (but not too much). I used to play tennis 4-5 times a week before Minner’s diagnosis and I stopped all that to focus on her and I’m trying to get back to it a little … I’m in the lineup for a match tomorrow night which starts at her +5. Worst case I can feed higher carbs b4 leaving and put the hubby on high alert, but sure would be nice if I could get her more naturally to a high green or low blue rise. Dare to dream!

Minners numbers are looking great!

I didn't know the churus were high carb! Do you know the carb content?

I hope everything goes super well tomorrow and that you get to play your tennis match. Moms need to have some fun, too.

Thanks Marielle. Frankly I get really perturbed about the carb content detective work. It’s such a sham. Here’s my point of view with Churu. Based on guaranteed analysis (which is a sham itself since it’s min and max and therefore a whole lot of nothing for certain other than one end of a limit) the carbs would be 1.5% as fed, but 91% is moisture which has no calories, so remove the moisture and suddenly that 1.5% is really 1.5 of 9 parts dry matter which is almost 17% carbs. It’s the tapioca ingredient. Sigh. I justify it by telling myself that a tsp or so churu after eating some 1, 2 or 3% pate simply lifts the combination to still under 10% in total. Kind of like having a spoonful of ice cream after a grilled chicken breast dinner.

Looking good hopefully she lets you out for tennis, it’s crazy to think about the things I’m sure we’ve all left behind for our cats.
