💉Giving Insulin Doesn’t Have to Be Intimidating💉
For pets diagnosed with diabetes, insulin is a vital part of daily care. Here’s a quick step-by-step guide to help you feel confident:
1️⃣ Prepare the Dose – Roll the insulin gently (don’t shake) and draw the prescribed amount into a clean syringe.
2️⃣ Choose the Site – Common areas include the scruff of the neck or side of the abdomen.
3️⃣ Lift the Skin – Gently pinch a fold of skin to create a “tent.”
4️⃣ Insert the Needle – At a 45-degree angle, insert the needle into the tented skin.
5️⃣ Inject & Remove – Push the plunger smoothly, then remove the needle and dispose of it safely.
6️⃣ Reward & Monitor – Give praise or a low-carb treat and keep an eye on your pet’s behavior and appetite.
