I had to rush to be out of home today, what should I do if I can not check or shot the pm dose?

I think it depend on how much later than the usual shot time. Shooting too much later tonight will mean having to adjust the shot time tomorrow. If you are more than an hour past usual shot time, if you shoot, tomorrow you’d either shoot 15 minutes early from this pm shot time, and every cycle after to get back to usual time, or you can shoot 30 minutes early from this pm shot time once a day until you get back to your usual shot time.
Getting back to 12/12 schedule
For most caregivers, anything more than 2 hours is difficult to adjust, so skipping is fine if you can’t accommodate the schedule changes to get back to usual time, and in your case, no history of ketones.

How long does it take to drain the depot and do most cats usually go high for a cycle or 2 then get back into their "norm?" I know ECID but I'm just wondering average. So far, I've never had to skip a shot (thankfully) and have always wondered what "normally" happens.

Thank you for your detailed response. I was able to make it home 3 mins before the shot.
I will definitely keep this info saved on my note for just incase. I did panic a bit since there was no one at home and I had to rush to ER.
