Syringe advice?

[MClarke087]

Hi, everyone. I've been buying Dennis' syringes from 1800Pet Meds for $26 a box (100 syringes) plus shipping, but I found some similar syringes from CalvetSupply (a website that I've turned to since Dennis was diagnosed with CKD).... Calvet sells the syringes for $11 a box and with all of his supplies adding up, I'd love to buy them at this lower price. Could someone take a look at the link and confirm that these needles from Calvet are the same type as the ones I've been getting from 1800PetMeds? I'm terrified of ordering the wrong needles and accidentally giving Dennis an increased dose of insulin.

Yes, they are interchangeable.
These cost a little more ($12) but have 1/2 unit markings

Thank you! That helps so much since Dennis is on 0.5 units. It's hard to tell if he's getting the exact dose with the syringes I usually buy. I can't complain over $12.00 !! Thanks again!

You also might want to get calipers as markings on the syringes can vary a lot for a cat and makes micro changes easier.

You can also use human U100 syringes and use the conversion

Thenwhen using U40 insulin with U100 syringes each 1/2 unit on a U100 syringe equals 0.2 unis of the U40 insulin
