? Did the insulin evaporate? What to do?

[portana]

I just went to give Simba his injection and found the bottle empty. There was enough there for at least 3 shots this morning. Do you think it evaporated? In the fridge???

He's not supposed to have any insulin tomorrow morning or food for 15 hours before he's admitted to the RVC for the tests they will do on him as a part of a clinical trial tomorrow at 11am. Do you think he'll be alright tonight with no insulin?

The things that happen to me

Edit to add: the reason why I don't have a new bottle is because they will change him to Prozinc tomorrow and give me a bottle and I certainly didn't expect this to happen.

Sorry you didn't get an answer earlier, but it seems like you're kind of stuck anyway....I wouldn't go out and buy a whole vial of Caninsulin just to give 1 dose tonight

If you have some ketone strips, you might want to get a test in if you can and just watch him carefully for any signs of returning ketoacidosis tonight like refusing to eat, drinking lots of water and acting like he doesn't feel good
