Fur shots

[Spike's Mom]

When it obvious that a fur shot was given is there any recommendations for how high is to high before I adjust our dosing schedule? I know it is advised to not reshoot but today's numbers were scary. I thought I gave a partial fur shot this morning and did not have a vehicle to come home earlier than the time for our regularly scheduled dose. My son got home at 8 hours after our am shot and Spike was already at 571. By the time I got home tonight Spike was at 601.

I would say to give him the shot, the ProZinc allows for fluctuations in shot times.

With ProZinc, you can shoot early ... if you are absolutely positive the high numbers are due to a fur shot and not bouncing from going low overnight.

I am sure the numbers yesterday were due to a fur shot. Unfortunately I have been really frustrated with the numbers on most other days. His vet says we are doing good but I don't see it yet.

I think you may be having a duration issue. If you look at April 18, daytime, from +11 to pre-shot, he zoomed almost 200 mg/dL. Your options are shooting TID (every 8 hours), or switching insulin (BCP PZI, Lantus, or Levemir). it is possible for your vet to get a sample of the PZI with this form.

He is bouncing too.
