Sorry Yong and Eliz for confusion - I saw you were online Eliz and asked you, then saw Yong was a minute later!
 
No worries, just want to get this kitty's Bg up :)

Or to an ER vet. Meant to say get BG up so he can get to a Vet but I clicked somewhere else than posted :facepalm:
 
I wonder if we should ask where she lives so we could start a thread asking if other members live in the area and could help her....?

There is no margin for error in this case. A non-diabetic kitty getting that dose of Vetsulin is an emergency situation and should not be treated at home. With the vet being further away there is no time to wait for seizures to start before heading to the vet...it will be too late then.
 
Also since he is not a diabetic, even if the numbers can be raised, his body's natural regulatory system will cause the pancreas to produce more endogenous insulin (natural insulin the body produces) in order to bring the levels down. So you can be dealing with both endogenous insulin and exogenous insulin (injected insulin)

Yes I meant I wondered if someone might be local and could take her and kitty to a vet... but the idea is probably just wishful thinking :-(
