Hello LL: Hope all love bugs and beans had a nice summer and now enjoying the holiday's!!
Skippy has been great and last we posted he had 7 teeth removed but loves his new smile. Sometime middle of November I consulted with a holistic vet that put him on some vitamines and Chinese herbs which he did great for 2 week went from 2.95 down to 2 but he just wanted more of the juice so we are back to 3.00 and I have stopped with the herbs but continue with the vitamines. I have decided to switch to Levemir because I will be leaving sometime mid summer next year overseas and felt that the handling of Levemir would be better. I have one more solstar Lantus Pen and orderd called my vet this morning to get me a perscription for Levemir pen. She is not familiar with Levemir and can not find the paperwork I hand delivered to her 2 years ago on Levemir (duh) so I am reaching out to the MOST RELIABLE EDUCATED AND HELPFUL BUNCH to assist us on the dosing. He is currently on 3.00 units what dose should I start him on. She said 1.50 is that good or does anyone have any opinions. Once you advise me of the dose amount do I wait for 3 cycles and then increase?
Your help would be appreciated. PS we are also trying to do the raw thing and it is a challenge and a half grr_red
Thank

. I believe what I was told is that it's a bit less than the Lantus dose. I think reducing by half would be way too much. Maybe start with 2.5 or 2.75...
