He also lost 2 pounds the week he was there.

2/25/06 585 +13.5 1.2 u curving today. I fed him at his regular time, but since I'm still sick, I didn't feel like I was coherent enough to shoot and test that is why the # is so high, probably

pmps +11 552. 1.2 u given If I had waited another hour, he would have probably been high. When I have the chance to watch I may increase to 1.3u and see what happens.



2/27/06

6am (+11.5) 245. Didn't feel comfortable shooting because of how fast he drops

7 am 352 (he had eaten at this point) 1.2 u given

tested numerous times, at +5 he was at 95, watched closely, he dropped more and wasn't high enough for me to feel comfortable going to the dr. since I knew I would be gone for at least 2 hours, so I fed some treats for my piece of mind.
