    Sorry I posted this same question in the canninsulin forum before I realized its in the wrong place...I just sent my vet an email about Felix's progress, hopefully I will hear back soon. It has been about 5 days with no insulin and Felix's numbers are in the lower blue range. I'm thinking I might pick up some Lantus insulin and microdose him so PS numbers will be in the green and he will have a better remission. Anyone know if it is possible to just get 1-2 cartridge pens of Lantus insulin at a Canadian pharmacy? as I really don't think Felix will be needing much..

    I don't think you can buy single cartridges at a Canadian pharmacy. You could call around to some and ask that question.

    Yes, Marks Marine Pharmacy does sell a single pen for $49.99 plus shipping.....not the most economical, but at least it's available

    You could try seeing if there is another member in Calgary willing to share part of the purchase of a 5 pack of cartridges. $49.99 is half the cost of a 5 pack. (at least in BC).
