6/4 Rory am283 +2 275 +5 130 pm333 +2 277 +4 198 +5 158

woke up early and there were 2 BM on the carpet in the hall :shock: .......very unusual behavior since I had just cleaned all 3 litter boxes before going to bed.. Rory just was not feeling well yesterday and I wonder if its his way of letting me know something is not right?? Today he started purring again. also is Lantus suppose to smell so nasty? I wasnt sure why Rory had such a bad smell coming from where I give him doses,.. a while back.. and today I removed excess from the syringe and realized that is what stinks!!

Lantus smells like really cheap band-aids. the plastic ones that leave too much sticky residue on your skin when you try to remove them.
Is that what you are smelling?

Re: 6/4 Rory am283 +2 275

When do you smell it? When you give the shot and you lightly touch the spot, is it wet? Do you smell it then? Or later?

I smelled it when I flicked the needle to remove bubbles and overfilled it, so I had to squirt a bit out.. it smelled more like a decomposing animal to me very strong, and I had also smelled the same thing once on Rory. I must have accidently missed getting the needle in. It was a while back now.. at least 3 weeks ago. I was washing his ears because they were getting oily from the polysporin. I thought it was that making the odor, but it was the insulin and it was shortly after when I first started using Lantus

Nice blues for Rory today.

I usually give Neko a quick sniff after the shot to make sure it all got in. It is pretty horrible smelling stuff.
