Metformin (Glucophage)

[Kimmy Jane]

I ran out of Lantus, is it safe to give my cat Metformin for a couple of days before I can get more Lantus?

That is a question for your vet to answer. Give them a call and ask as well as for a new prescription Lantus. Maybe they even have some Lantus available to sell to you. Some vets keep a few Lantus pens or vials on hand for hospitalized diabetic pets.

Can you tell us a bit more about your cat first?

I agree with @squeem3 that this is a question for the vet. Do you just happen to have Metformin around the house? More Lantus would be a better solution.
