Re: Cushings, allergies, and newly diagnosed diabetes
Whenever I’ve done a dose increase, it can take weeks to see some consistent change in numbers. You may have to give it more time, his numbers aren’t crazy bad. Adjusting to a new dose is different for every dog.
Drinking after eating is common, can have nothing to do with blood sugar. My dog goes to his water bowl 4-5 times the first hour after a meal, then hardly ever the rest of the day.
Nadir times are also different for most dogs and can change after a dose change. My dog’s nadir is between 2:30 and 3:30 now, and back to a bowl type curve. Not long ago he had a weird mountain type curve with nadir before noon.
It’s a weird disease.
The latest curve you show, it looks like there’s room for a slight dose increase. If 6 gave numbers too low, maybe 5.5 might be worth a try for a while.
