Aslan (dc) is being changed from vetsulin to Lantus tonight or tomorrow. He has been on 14 (U100 syringe) units of vetsulin twice a day and the vet said to start 7 units of lantus twice a day. Does this sound right? Aslan's last injection was noon. Should I wait until tomorrow morning to start the lantus so all the vetsulin gets out of his system?
I have been feeding a mixture of Purina DM dry and evo (for carbs with the vetsulin). Should I change the food to all DM? Aslan refuses canned food or human foods.
I am starting to get panicky over this - but Aslan is laid back and calm (a mostly Maine Coon with some norwegian - long VERY dense fur that easily gets matted).
He has never done really well on the vetsulin...and we have been through several vets & just found this one who at least wants to deal with a diabetic cat and cares- even though he is an hours drive away and we probably pass 40 other vets on the way!!!
I will submit this and hope it gets posted - I have not figured out how to work this site yet!
