Yay for not getting too far off track! 😁

Yes, a fur shot completely resets the cycle count. From the Counting Cycles sticky:

Because of the cumulative nature of Lantus, glargine biosimilars (Basaglar/Semglee) and Levemir... stalling, shooting a reduced dose, shooting a BCS dose, skipping a shot, and fur shots can alter the effect on the insulin/depot on any given dose. If you have to do any of these things, the cycle count starts over. If you don't start over, you run the risk of kitty becoming over dose.
 
You need at least six cycles after the fur shot to rebuild the depot and see what his nadirs are. Then depending on the nadirs, you might have to hold longer.
