Hi, I'm Barb, my kitty is Froggii (or Mr Frog as I call him often)
I'm posting in this forum for a couple of reasons.... First, because I really screwed up last night and left Frog's insulin sitting in my 'toolkit', and I'm wondering did I ruin it? I only have the one bottle and now I don't know if it is still safe/good to give him
Secondly, I feel like I'm screwing up his dosing, I can't figure out if I should increase it again, or stick with the smaller amount I have been giving him.(.40)
Also, I've been really busy lately and haven't gotten to do an actual 'curve', but this last couple days I've been playing hell just getting any blood out of him for some reason, 2-3 pokes minimum... which kind of sucks, since for awhile I was getting it in just one. He of course isn't happy about this, and is getting more and more squirmy. I tried to use his other ear, but he wont let me even pet it/scratch it, keeps shaking his head. Assuming I even CAN get the required blood, which hours should I be aiming at for a curve? I've seen people mention odd every others and even every others (I hope that made sense)
Any dosing help would be much appreciated
