So now I'm on Vetsulin (as of yesterday) and I'm finding that it's well-behaved for the most part, but allowed a spike to over 400 at 3:00AM. It also seems to last only 4 hours (1u given 2x/day) for a 4.5lb pup.
Any experience/advice with insulins would be appreciated. |
No experience here....but I would consult with your regular vet.
