I recently switched my 11 year old male Minpin to Humulin from Vetsulin. This new insulin is a higher concentration, so I adjusted his injections accordingly. His regular vet said to montior him. I have a pet glucose meter, but can't get a good stick. I monitor him by observation of excessive drinking, urination, confusion, inabilitiy to stand, etc.
Two days ago, we had a glucose crisis. I gave him a sugar shot of Kayro syrup in which he repsonded in 30 minutes and proceeded to eat hardily. Yesterday we resumed his regular injections. Today, Reggie is panting heavily and is clearly in some sort of distress. Other than panting, he is not demonstrating the usual symptons of either high or low glucose levels.
Short of taking him to the emergency vet and have his blood drawn, what might this excessive panting symptom be? Has anyone experienced this?
Thanks.
