My diabetic cat is on proving insulin which is expensive. Is there an otc human equivalent insulin?
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.

My cat is diabetic, currently on 7 units so vetsulin 2x daily with a bs of 600+, my vet doesn't seem to know what else to do. Any suggestions?
I found that in cats often Vetsulin is not able to correct Insulin levels long term and that such cats may do better with Prozinc Insulin. This is something you may want to discuss with your veterinarian. Another problem that often keeps cats from regulating is when they have tartar, gingivitis and bad teeth. In that case a dental cleaning often works wonders. This will also reduce stress from dental pain.

My dog has diabetes and gets caninsulin twice daily. I have ms and frequently drop things. I was advised that if I drop caninsulin it can break the suspension and can't be used. This is proving costly for example I opened a new bottle yesterday and d
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!

Hello, My white Scottie Terrier is almost 13 years old. She is spilling Protein in her urine and has high BP. Is Lisinopril 0.25 or 0.5 OK for her to take? Once a day or twice a day? Thank you so much!
Hello. Lisinopril is indicated for proteinuria in dogs, but I can not just tell you to give this to her. I do not know her overall health & this can make a tremendous difference when giving medications. Please talk to your veterinarian to see if Lisinopril is warranted to treat Roxy, & what the correct dose would be. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.

HI, thanks for using Boop by Petco! Poor Bailey! He is adorable! Regular insulin is short acting and needs to be given every 6 hours which is not feasible at home. The only time I have prescribed regular insulin is for diabetic cats who have acromegaly. My suggestions are to discuss with your Veterinarians over the phone how to gradually increase Bailey's insulin dose. You can be taught, by purchasing a glucometer (made for animals not people), how to measure his blood sugars at home. The glucometer itself is initially expensive but it may save you in the long run. Also using Keto-diaticks to measure ketones and glucose in his urine. That way you can do blood sugar curves at home and report to your Vet. My other thought, is that Bailey may need a different insulin. Overall we may just have to wait for his pancreatitis to resolve. Pancreatitis can make diabetes hard to regulate as can Cushings. If Cushings disease is suspected he may need to be tested for it and treatment started to he
