We forgot to give Mayton his insulin, he was 416. It is now +4 do we give him insulin? We usually give 1.5 units do we do a full dose or any at all?

if you're already 4 hours late, you'd have to be able to change your shot schedule quite a bit
If you can do that (you can slowly work your way back 15 minutes per cycle or 30 minutes per day), you could shoot, or you could skip tonight and get back on schedule in the morning...hate to skip with a DKA in the picture though
I do think it's time to increase Mayton's dose though....he's been on 1.5 quite a long time and it isn't getting him down where we want him.

Another option would be to wait another 2 hours so you'd shoot at +18, then skip in the morning and shoot on time for his usual PMPS tomorrow night

Our vet said give it to him now and give it to him at normal time tomorrow morning as long as it is not too low. We are able to test all day tomorrow if needed.
