? Predrawing Syringes - Vetsulin Insulin

[Amanda and a Loudogg]

Good morning all!
My surgery is tomorrow, so I will not be able to give Lou his pm shot tomorrow and am shot on Friday (I have to stay overnight at the hospital). My husband Caleb has been practicing giving Lou his insulin, so he is ready to step in while I'm not able to. The problem is he's been struggling drawing up the necessary doses (the writing on the syringe is just too small). I think I've seen threads regarding predrawing other insulins, but I can't remember if anyone has addressed Vetsulin. Would it be okay for me to predraw the two syringes he'll need while I'm in the hospital? They'll be used within 24 hours.

Thanks in advance!!!

Hiya Amanda! Sending healing hugs and prayers for surgery tomorrow. I don't knows the answer about pre drawing vetsulin, but am bumping this so you get an answer and Caleb can rock Loudogg's care while you're away.

Yes, syringes can be prefilled with Vetsulin. After filling you should store them on their side and to make sure the syringe is rolled to mix the insulin before injecting. If you store them upright it would be harder to mix before injection.

Hoping all goes smoothly tomorrow - for both you and Lou!

Couldn't have you go into surgery worried about DH and Loudogg! So glad @Larry and Kitties told you what to do. Hope all goes well tomorrow at home and hospital. See you when you get back!

Good luck with surgery! I hope you have a speedy recovery! There should not be an issue pre drawing the syringes.
