What kind of insulin? How are her numbers running?
With most insulins, if you are going to be 2/3 hours late, you just skip (unless you are going to change your shot time from that point forward).

I had to give Sophie her evening shot late yesterday - she came in late from being outside. Until she's back on her usual schedule, I'll move the timing of each shot by 1/2 hour (11.5 hours, instead of 12 hours).
She's on Lantus and I was told that that timing of shots is not absolutely critical, although it's best to try to stick to a regular schedule.

With Lantus it is recommended not to move the shot time up by more than 30 minutes in a day, so that could be changing it by thirty minutes once, or 15 minutes twice. Being late is different though.
Delaying the dose could feel like a dose decrease for part of that cycle, but then when you do her next shot it needs to be no earlier than 11 hours and 30 minutes since her last shot, or she will get too much action on that second cycle.
