I recently received my second order of Vetsulin through the Vetsulin Criticial Need program. This time I purchased 3 vials and the cost with UPS overnight shipping was about $140. The Vetsulin arrived 2 days after my veterinarian ordered it for me just like it did last time.
I have always had to monitor Zekes glucose output in his urine with Bayer Diastix which are urine dip sticks that tell you how much sugar is being put out in the dogs urine. With the Vetsulin I am obtaining through the Vetsulin Critical Need program there does seem to be the difference in strength between the vials like there always was before The only difference is now we know it is because of the inconsistency of strength in the Vetsulin itself.
When Zeke measures high for glucose on the Diastix I adjust his Vetsulin dose up a half or whole unit,. If he measures negative for glucose when it is time for his next Vetsulin injection then I lower his dose by a half unit or a whole unit.
As always I take Zeke to his veterinarian about every month or two to have his blood glucose checked. Zeke is one of those diabetic dogs who seems to always either be a little too low or a little too high when the vet checks his blood glucose levels.
I have a cat on Vetslin that was denied the critical needs program. I have some on order from England but I am going to run short for about 7 days on Vetsulin. (My Vet actually gave us the website and advised us to continue the Vetsulin) My girl takes 8 units a day, you wouldn't happen to have an almost empty bottle (or even a half full/full bottle) that you would sell me do you?? I would be happy to pay 3x times the original price if you could spare even a quarter of a bottle. Please email me directly at: RichardRCoker@me.com if you can help. Thanks.
