  • #1 Recommended Insulin for Dogs

    Formulated For: Intended for cats and dogs.

    How is Medication Given?

  • CATS: Recommended initial dosage rate for cats is 1 IU to 2 IU for each injection. Administer injection twice per day about 12 hours apart. If your cat is fed twice each day, administer right after or during meals. If your cat is fed freely, you don't need to change his or her meal schedule. Veterinarians should routinely re-evaluate cats to adjust their dose depending on blood testing and symptoms to achieve glycemic control. More adjustments might be required based on changes like concomitant drugs, body weight changes, dietary changes, other medical disorders, other endocrine conditions, neoplasia, inflammation, or infections.
  • DOGS: CATS: Recommended initial dosage rate for dogs is 0.5 IU for each pound of body weight. Administer injection once per day right after or during a meal. Veterinarians should routinely re-evaluate dogs to adjust their dose depending on blood testing and symptoms to achieve glycemic control. More adjustments might be required, including twice-daily dosing, based on blood testing results and other changes like concomitant drugs, body weight changes, dietary changes, other medical disorders, other endocrine conditions, neoplasia, inflammation, or infections.

  • To mix, roll the vial gently before withdrawing a dose. With a U-40 syringe, subcutaneously Administer injection(s) in a location 2 cm to 5 cm away from the animal's dorsal midline. Alternate sides and administer in the mid-lumbar region or behind scapulae.

    What Results Can I Expect? Vetsulin is the only FDA-approved insulin for diabetic pets available in the USA.

    What Form Does Medication Come In? Injectable

    Dose and Administration: Sold as a 2.5 or 10 mL vial. Available individually (10 mL) or in a 10-count box (2.5 mL).

    Possible Side Effects:

  • Serious side effects can occur suddenly. The most common insulin-related side effect is low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), which can bring on symptoms like lethargy, incoordination, seizures, or coma. If your pet appears to be experiencing an adverse reaction or new medical condition, consult your veterinarian.
  • Rarely, allergic reactions can occur. Pursue emergency treatment if you believe your pet is experiencing an allergic reaction, with signs like trouble breathing, hives, swollen lips, swollen tongue, or swollen face.

    Precautions

  • For subcutaneous administration in dogs or cats.
  • Incorrect dosing results from incorrect syringe use. Only Intervet U-40 Insulin Syringes should be used.
  • Patients taking this medications should be closely monitored for signs of hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia. This is necessary for the prevention of complications, as well the maintenance and attainment of adequate glycemic control.
  • If the animal presents with ketoacidosis, lethargy, vomiting, or anorexia short-acting insulin should be offered to stabilize the animal, along with supportive therapy.

    Storage Recommendations: Keep product upright and refrigerated between 36 to 46 degrees F (2 to 8 degrees C). Do not freeze and shield from light.

    In Case of Overdose: Call your nearest emergency animal hospital.
