Yesterday’s post
Going on the assumption yesterday’s AM shot was not a fur shot, I increased to 1.25 units this morning (from 1 unit). I based that on this from the TR protocol…

Hold the dose for 3 - 5 days (6 - 10 consecutive cycles) if nadirs are less than 200 before increasing the dose by 0.25 unit.

• if your cat is new to numbers under 200, it is recommended to hold the dose for at least 8-10 cycles before increasing.

Did I do the right thing? At 6 AM it seemed like the thing to do, now I’ve had time to second guess myself.

TR says to hold the initial dose 5-7 days. We usually ask that the initial dose be held a week unless the numbers are very high (nadirs over 300) requiring faster increases.

I will tag @tiffmaxee for advice.

The initial dose is usually held a week especially when you see blue nadirs. If it were me I would go back to 1.0 tonight. Others may disagree.

I think I'd go ahead with the 1.25. Yes, it takes 5-7 days for the depot to fill but you've been shooting the 1U dose for that 5 days and I don't see any sign that holding that dose any longer is going to make a difference.

Since you're doing TR and it looks like you're able to test when you want to, I'd stick with the 1.25 and see what it'll do.

Thanks, Bhooma and Elise! I was afraid I jumped the gun a little. I will go back to 1unit tonight and tomorrow and reevaluate for a .25 increase on Friday.

Thanks for the alternative point of view, Chris! Hmmm. My impatience has me leaning toward sticking with the 1.25, while my caution says go back to 1.

I jumped the gun in the first place because I’m going to be out of the house all day on Sunday. I wanted to give plenty of time for the numbers to settle with the new dose before leaving him unattended for 12 hours. I will see where I am at the PMPS in a couple of hours, and decide then.
