Re: Sissy's Mom
My current "R" was opened 1 October. I'll probably replace at 6 months, with more than ½ remaining.

Re: Sissy's Mom
Thank you Craig & Jessegirl,
I guess mine is fine for awhile.
I think last night I must have had a fur shot with her N. She went down from the R, then went up like a rocket.Was 596 at 1 a.m. Gave same N this morning and she is down to normal. I usually feel her coat to make sure, I have never had a fur shot, but figure that must be what happened

Re: Sissy's Mom
Hi Jackie,
I was using r as well, and we were still on the same bottle. I still have it in the fridge.

Re: Sissy's Mom
We kept R around indefinitely. Because there is no mixing required, it tends to have a longer shelf life than N.

Jackie, you are doing pretty well if it's taken you this long to join the fur-shot club.

Re: Sissy's Mom
I have Sissy on 5 units N in the morning and 5 1/2 units at night. We are on day 7.
She is having these numbers
am 228
pm 223
am 560
pm 140
am 303
pm 148
am 294
pm 109
am 326
pm 75
My question is: what can I do so I can possibly raise the night dose to 6 units, and keep her from going so low at pm fasting???? or do I need to do something different????

Re: Sissy's Mom
Just out of curiosity, does sissy get any kind of an afternoon snack?
Bazz and I have found that really helps us prevent the evening lows we were getting. I had to put my dad in charge of that because I'm so often gone at work. I'm not sure about the evening dose, so I'll let others chime in on that.
Good luck with everything

Re: Sissy's Mom
The only thing I would consider is dropping the morning insulin dose a small amount.
As you can see, the 560 corrected itself and may even have been a result of an earlier low.
How's she doing at night? BG still skyrocketing?

Re: Sissy's Mom
Hey Natalie,
I was thinking about that. this past week I have been giving her 4 pieces of her kibble about 3 pm. that is keeping her around 100-140.
At night she is going to high 300's maybe a few low to mid 400's, not to bad for her!!!!! Would you try 4 3/4 in the morning??
Had daughters dogs this past week, they went home last night, see what this week brings. Going to look at, lol, and maybe get another little 7 yr old bichon on Sunday.. I think Sissy really likes another dog here.

Re: Sissy's Mom
Can anyone explain why a dry dog food has 30 plus percent carbs and the wet will have 4-5 percent????

Re: Sissy's Mom
thats a good question i think wet there maybe more meat protein of coarse it has more moister so dry maybe more concentrated with the lack of moister
