What is
Pet Diabetes?

Diabetes mellitus (sugar diabetes) in dogs and cats results from a shortage of insulin. When your pet’s body produces little or no insulin—or if it can’t be absorbed properly—glucose (sugar) builds up in the blood instead of being used for fuel. Your pet will feel starved for energy, even if it has been eating normally.

As with all insulin products, careful patient monitoring for hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia is essential. Overdosage can result in profound hypoglycemia and death. Progestogen and glucocorticoid use should be avoided. The safety and effectiveness of VETSULIN® in puppies, kittens, breeding, pregnant, and lactating dogs and cats has not been evaluated. Keep out of reach of children. Avoid contact with eyes. In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. Accidental injection may cause clinical hypoglycemia. In case of accidental injection, seek medical attention immediately. Exposure to the product may induce a local or systemic allergic reaction in sensitized individuals. For complete safety information, refer to the product label.
