I'm sorry to freak you out, that wasn't my intention, but I strongly believe that we are the best advocates for our pets. Knowledge is power! If the vet is insistent on using Caninsulin then so be it. Perhaps he just doesn't feel comfortable dosing with anything else. Do ask him though, what sort of supply he has, and if they have a backup plan in case that runs out. Also check the expiry dates on the vials because apparently most of the issues with consistency have been on insulin reaching the end of it's shelf-life.

Good luck!!
