Depends on how long ago you fed your animal, if you fed an hour ago its ok to give the insulin, you must watch how close the insulin shots are, usually they are 12 hrs apart on Humulin NPH. If you fed 6 hrs ago, I would give 1/2 of the dosage. go to http://p092.ezboard.com/fpetswithdiabetescaninediabetes

there is nothing you can do, just keep a close eye on your pet, when you say too much, do you mean 1 or 2 units or more? If more than call your vet ASAP and find out what to do, your pet may act drunk or wobble, keep it quiet, and do give give any more until your vet tells you what to do.

Your vet may want you to counter the insulin with sugarwater or honey

If you have a diabetic animal in the house, there is a propietary product called Glucagon to counteract an insulin overdose. Please discuss this with your vet.

Why is insulin the right treatment for diabetes?

if someone has diabetes, that means that their pancreas has stopped working. Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas, and if his/her pancreas has stopped working than that is what they need. They make the fake Insulin using Insulin from the dog. They only use a certain dog, but I do not know which type, sorry.

How is a glucose curve performed on a diabetic dog?

A blood glucose curve is performed on a dog by measuring the blood glucose early in the morning, then feeding the dog and administering insulin. The blood glucose is then measured every 2 hours. If the dog is recieving insulin twice a day, a 12 hour curve will be performed. If the dog is recieving insulin once a day, a 24 hour curve will be used. Ideally, the curve will gradually drop after the administration of insulin and then rise close to the original height before the next dose.

Can you give a dog Reactine?

I wouldn't suggest it just becasue its not ment for dogs and it is unknown about the healthy dosages a dog can ingest to help its problem. But if infact your dog is allergic to something reactin can help. If your dog accidently ingests reactin you don't have to worry to much depending on the amount it ate. Just keep an eye on your dog and he/she should be ok.
