She smells of lantus all the time now. What is the best way to make it go away so that I can tell if she is still getting fur shots or if the one from a few days ago is the culprit?

I'm sorry she has the Lantus smell. I'm not sure how to get rid of it. Do you have any baby wipes you could try rubbing her fur with? I don't know if that will work though.

Bought some cleaning foam - no rinse from the pet store - should change how she smells at least

Sorry to read that Hyde still has high numbers, lots of vines that you see some better yellows soon. Time perhaps for another doscrease, these acrokitties are notoriously bad to get control of. Did you think any more about trying the R insulin Anne?

 

[Anne & Hyde (GA)]

Yes, @suki & crystal, I have thought about adding R. You need a prescription here to get it. Will need more Lantus soon so will try to convince vet to send prescription to Marks at the same time.

If you need more Lantus soon, have you thought about switching to Lev. I know it's a lot to try to convince the vet to do. Interesting that you need a prescription to get R, where most states do not. If you need some help with your vet, the first article I posted here, Acromegaly in 14 cats, talks about using R with them.

Do you rotate your injections around? I wonder if switching to the flank or side for a while will help you figure out whether there was a fur shot. The other thing to play with is length of needle. Some people get more joy with a shorter or longer needle on the syringe. If I'm having a run of fur shots, I'll try a shorter length. For me they always seem to come in groups of three.
