Also his first reading on the libre was 25.3! That’s the highest ever. He did eat a lot when we got home and he was super stressed…

Way back when we first discussed insulin and it was Caninsulin, she said she would start with .5. I hope that’s the plan still for Lantus. If she wants to use more, should I insist on .5?

sorry to say, I do not feel comfortable giving dosing advice. Let's leave that up to the experts like Suzanne, Bhooma or Elise


Suzanne said she would check back in later, had to go out. We'll see what she or one of the others has to say about your situation.
 
If you are following the SLGS protocol, then the recommended starting dose for a cat on Lantus - if the cat is on a low-carb wet food diet - is .5 unit. every 12 hours.

I am not sure if you have decided on which protocol to follow. If it were my cat, I would not start with anything larger than that. In fact, and this is just a personal opinion, but I might even start with .25 units because I see a lot of yellow on Merlin’s spreadsheet- so out of an abundance of caution I would probably so that with my own cat. It’s not what is written in the SLGS guidelines, but this is what I probably would do with my own cat. I would also feed my cat before taking it to the vet.
