What about Vesulin? Their own website says to start new
diabetes patients on something else, but my vet insisted
on the Vetsulin, even after I mentioned the cautionary
advice from the website.

Vesulin ot Vetsulin? One of the rescue pets we are looking at needs this
twice a day.

How strict must I be with injections? If I give two per
day, say at 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., what happens if I sleep
late and Rosie doesn't get her injection until 10 a.m. or
later? Should she eat at the same time she gets her
injection?

If it works the same for dogs as people, then a stable time is pretty
important. 1 hour is not much of an issue but I wouldnt push it further on
a normal basis.

I did ask the caretakers of the one we are considering, and they said
'inject first then feed right away' but it was more behavior related to the
dog. Seems the pooch wouldnt take the injections calmly until it was tied
to something good right after in her mind (ok, little stick then *FOOD* YES
YES!!!*FOOD*). I was laughing as the email said getting her meds down acted
on her just like a can opener on a cat.
