Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! No. I do not recommend using that insulin with out talking to your Vet. Novolin 70/30 is NOT the same as Novolin N and we do not know how TJ will react to Novolin 70/30. Novolin 70/30 contains a mixture that is 70% intermediate-acting insulin with 30% short-acting insulin, while Novolin N is all intermediate acting. I would suggest calling the pharmacy. I hope this helps!

Hi there. Sorry that you are having this issue. All insulins are very sensitive actually and not just the Caninsulin. That being said, the Caninsulin actually comes in a preloaded pen that you can use instead of dosing from a bottle and filling the syringes yourself. http://www.caninsulin.com/vetpen/about-vetpen.asp I recommend you talk to your vet about getting that instead. I think it would be easier for you. I hope this helps. If you have more questions please feel free to post again! Best wishes!

Unfortunately there isn't a lot you can do in this situation since there is no substitute for insulin. You can wait until morning and go to your nearest vet who has some insulin on hand. I would also contact your local ER vet to see if they have some insulin readily available to give to you to hold you over until Shorty gets his supply in the mail. Another alternative is to have your vet call in a prescription to your nearest pharmacy (i.e. Walgreens, CVS) to give her until her supply comes in. She may just have an extra supply of insulin on hand, but that is better than having her blood sugar too high and potentially causing further complications (i.e. ketoacidosis) depending on how much longer she has to wait. Best of luck to you and getting Shorty's insulin delivered soon! If it comes in some time tomorrow, although not ideal, she will likely be just fine. Take care.

Ask your veterinarian to write a prescription for the generic form of Buprenex which is buprenorphine. Contact local pharmacies in big stores (WalMart Target, Costco, etc) that may offer more affordable pricing. Other options include Wedgewood Pharmacy ( https://www.wedgewoodpharmacy.com/ ) or Diamondback Drugs ( http://www.diamondbackdrugs.com/ ). These are compounding pharmacies. Discuss other options with your veterinarian. He or she may have a preferred vendor or different options than the ones above.

I’m assuming you meant ProZinc insulin and if so there is unfortunately not a cheaper alternative. While less expensive human insulin can on rare occasions be used successfully in cats it usually does not provide good control of diabetes. You also need to start over with dosing and frequent monitoring when switching from one insulin to another which would increase cost. It’s probably best to stick with ProZinc if Mikey is well regulated.
