    I am going to be able to make it to my friends funeral, but now I need to know how to keep Shiloh safe while I am gone. Hubby is not comfortable yet with shooting and is gone for about 10 hours a day with no option to come home and check during the day. I would hate to derail her progress, but what do I do??

    ETA: asked about this in my daily thread as well, here

    Our general concensus for vacation periods and boarding is to slightly reduce the insulin dose (ie not do tight regulation) when testing will not be done.

    With her at 1 unit, would you go with .5? Would definitely be easier for DH to measure that rather than .75.

    You might make up an example syringe with colored water for the 0.75 units.

    So BJ, your suggestion would be .75?

    Yes. Plus, provide him with instructions on How To Handle A Hypo, emergency vet contact info and authorization to treat letter, just in case it might be needed.

    Any chance you can find a high school or college student, maybe from your church, to help out?
