"My cat's insulin dosage was recently changed to 1/2 unit per dose. My vet carried only the full unit measurement syringes so I was happy to learn that Chewy's pharmacy stocked syringes with a half-unit measurement line. This makes it much easier to obtain the exact 1/2 unit dose."
"I was told that it would be shipped the same day Friday but it wasn’t shipped until Monday. Two days later my Lolita had kidney failure and I had to end her suffering."
These insulin syringes are a good choice for managing pet diabetes, but pet owners should consider the size for smaller pets and the potential for delivery and packaging issues.
