    Just thought I'd share what I just found. My Mocha was sent home with 29g 1/2" needles along with a bottle of Vetsulin last week after he was diagnosed. The needles seem to be ok, but sometimes he'll yelp a little bit when I jab him. It makes me feel awful!! So I looked into finding smaller needles that hopefully won't hurt as bad. I just got them so can't speak for how he's gonna react but just wanted to share the info.

    I found a website that had 31g 5/16" needles for u40 insulin. It didn't say anything on the website about 1/2 unit markings but I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the box and saw that they have it!

    They aren't the cheapest syringes but if anyone out there is looking for something like this they can be found at
