[Butters & Lyla]

lol, that was quite the wake up call you got this morning.
Congrats on the reduction!

 

[carfurby (GA)]

What a way to wake up. I hope Kit will keep surfing on the new dose.

 

[tiffmaxee]

Kit is up to her tricks and it’s not even close to Halloween.

 

[JOJI and Kit]

wow, still dropping even w food props
just gave her 0.5 oz MC 15% after
54 @5

 

[tiffmaxee]

She just might earn a reduction.

 

[tiffmaxee]

On second thought just saw one earned last night so old depot is in play.

 

[JOJI and Kit]

so better to keep her propped up with food?
and avoid HC unless she drops below 50, correct?

52 @5.75
going w HC so we don't fall into reduction territory (hopefully...)

Absolutely. If that still gets her under 50 then I would try a reduction but see what others think if that happens. She could go right down the dosing scale like before as glucose toxicity is no more. Good buy and good riddance.

 

[JOJI and Kit]

Absolutely

oops,maybe our posts crossed. i gave her the HC bc an hour after the MC she was at 52 @5.75

Either was fine. I read too fast. Hc was a fine choice.

 

[JOJI and Kit]

67 @6.3
no food; test again in 30min

note to self

looking at 7/20/2020 AM cycle as reference. similar bump from HC /gravy/karo mix as that day and at a similar time in the cycle​

 

[JOJI and Kit]

59 @7 almost
no food; test again in 30min

wow, kit, are you really trying for back-to-back reductions?

 

[JOJI and Kit]

54 @7.5
fed 0.4 MC ate willingly

 

[Wendy&Neko]

Hello depot! She isn't earning another reduction so soon - carb her up. She has nothing to prove.

 

[JOJI and Kit]

title clean-up
here's the play-by-play
9/16 kit +11.5 48,53, AMPS 57, +1 115,+2 103,+3 80,+4 69, +4.75 54,+5.75 52,+6.3 67,+7 59,+7.5 54,+8 64

 

[JOJI and Kit]

carb her up

so you thinking more HC at this point?

 

[JOJI and Kit]

55 @8.5
0.5oz HC 28% with gravy plus karo drizzle
ate willingly.

 

[Wendy&Neko]

This late in the cycle you can probably ease off the amount of carbs, but if you need a break HC was OK.

 

[JOJI and Kit]

This late in the cycle

On second thought just saw one earned last night so old depot is in play.

gave her more MC at +10 and right now
+11 49
what to do?

@Wendy&Neko
@tiffmaxee

 

[Wendy&Neko]

Test again in 20, see where she's going and if she needs more food or if you an hold off.

 

[tiffmaxee]

I think you had to work too hard and another reduction is in order. You could also skip and then reduce or not depending on the amps. I would like to get other opinions.
@Sue and Luci @Red & Rover (GA) @Sienne and Gabby (GA)

oops I’m in my phone so didn’t see you were already here.

 

[Wendy&Neko]

Today is the 6.0 units depot talking. A second reduction is not needed. It takes 4-6 cycles for the larger depot to deplete, longer in higher doses. For this reason, some caregivers of higher dose cats will do a BCS after the reduction is earned, to reduce the larger depot. I strongly recommend that BCS (1/2 ro 2/3 dose) tonight. Or skip if you need the sleep. Her dose is high enough the depot will keep her going in good numbers for a while.

 

[JOJI and Kit]

52 @ 11 + 20 min

 

[Wendy&Neko]

Good to see she's up over the line. Depending where she is at +12, your choice of BCS or skip.

 

[JOJI and Kit]

your choice of BCS or skip.

we are debating either skip or 1/2
we dont want to lose momentum, but sleep would be a good thing.

 

[tiffmaxee]

Tough call. Do whatever works for you two is what I think fwiw.

 

[Si am cat mom]

I don't think you'll lose much momentum now that you have found a dose level showing some action....but * shrugs* cats- who knows....
She gave you a good playbook for next time!
