Hi, I'm new to this forum - my name is Emma and my cat Kit was diagnosed a week and a half ago (my new member thread is here ). I am traveling for the holidays and will be out of town for 9 days beginning this Monday 12/19. Due to the recent diagnosis and my preexisting catsitter arrangements, my vet is OK with Kit getting one injection per day in the evenings, at 1 unit per injection.
We are currently on Lantus and I am giving her 1 unit every 12 hours. Her first shot was one week ago on Thursday evening. I'm sure I gave several fur shots that first weekend of learning how to do injections but I think the past couple days have been successful shots. I am away at work during the day so I don't have lots of data for post-shot glucose levels, but I will be running a glucose curve on Saturday and my vet will adjust the dosing as needed.
I just wanted to start this thread in case I need help while I'm away. My parents will the ones giving insulin and they are brand new at giving shots too, so I would expect an occasional fur shot as they learn the technique.
