Hello Everyone: I don’t come here often, but did when my cat Floyd was diagnosed with diabetes years ago. At 17, Floyd died a few days ago — the...
Thanks MrWorfMen's Mom. He was checked for a bladder infection several weeks ago - the vet was convinced that was the trouble but it came up...
Hello: I’m not sure what to do now - Floyd (almost 16 years old) has been diabetic for about five years now, which has never been well controlled...
Hi Everybody: I meant to post this in the main forum, which I have now done providing a little more info. If I knew how to delete this post I would...
That's an excellent suggestion; feeling kind of silly for not thinking of it myself. I will phone the vet today.
Thanks everybody for your responses and concern. This forum offers so much expertise, support and reassurance that I don’t know what I’d have done...
Good Morning: I had an odd experience at the vet today and wondered if anyone has any insight. Floyd, my 14 year old diabetic cat has been recently...
<><><><> I've tried drawing the air out, but it can fill the entire syringe. It's like the stopper seal is broken. It has never been an issue...
Perhaps what I'm using is only available in Canada - it is a cartridge that is about 2.5 inches long that has a stopper on one end. I draw the...

Hello Everyone: I have been using the Lantus pen cartridges that come in the five packs. I had enormous problems with air bubbles in the first...
Hi Hilary: Thanks for the reply and the info, and yes Floyd is diabetic (diagnosed in March or so). I looked at the page about diabetic neuropathy,...
Good Morning! At my last visit to the vet, I mentioned Floyd's latest litter box annoyance, which is that he urinates up the side of the box (it's...
Yes squeem3... I had read the stickie note (and viewed the wonderful video) before my original post - it's just that the Lantus website has some...
Thanks Larry… I've never seen the pen , so I wasn't sure if it was physically possible. Does the pen still get store in the refrigerator? I've read...
Hello: My cat Floyd's dosage of Lantus varies between 1/4 and 1/2 units twice daily - as you can imagine, I barely make a dent in the 10 ml vial....
Hello Everyone: Floyd has been off the juice for about a month now. He was diagnosed in early March, but only stayed on insulin for about 3 weeks. In...
No... Floyd doesn't squirm (much anyway). The brand I've got is BD Ultra-fine, and it's the first box I've ever bought. When I examine the syringe...
I have been using 31 gauge needles with 1/2 unit measures for a couple of weeks now, which is good because Floyd is down to 1/4 units of Lantus twice...
Thanks for the info Julia. I will read the articles. Regarding the needles, my vet has recommended 29 gauge with a half inch needle; he specifically...
