ProZinc Insulin for Cats & Dogs 10ml

PRESCRIPTION NEEDED (Pom-V)

ProZinc insulin for cats and dogs is used to help control blood sugar levels in diabetic pets. Diabetes happens when the body cannot make enough insulin or cannot use it properly. As a result, blood sugar rises and your pet may become thirsty, hungry and lose weight.

This injectable insulin helps bring glucose levels closer to normal. With the right dose, many cats and dogs feel brighter, gain better weight and have more stable energy. However, diabetes management is always individual, so your vet will design a tailored plan.

Benefits of ProZinc insulin for cats and dogs

Using ProZinc insulin for cats and dogs under veterinary guidance can:

• Help reduce excessive thirst and urination

• Support more stable appetite and weight

• Improve energy and day-to-day wellbeing

• Provide a predictable insulin profile for many pets

• Fit into a regular twice-daily routine in most cases

Good diabetes control can also lower the risk of serious complications. Your vet will explain what to watch for and how often to review progress.

How ProZinc insulin for cats and dogs works

ProZinc insulin for cats and dogs contains protamine zinc insulin at 40 IU/ml. After injection under the skin, it is absorbed slowly into the bloodstream.

Insulin allows sugar from the blood to move into body cells, where it is used for energy. Therefore, blood glucose levels fall to a safer range. Over time, this helps reduce the signs of diabetes, such as:

• Drinking and urinating more than usual

• Increased hunger with weight loss

• Tiredness or reduced interest in play

Your vet will aim for steady, controlled improvement rather than sudden changes. This is why regular checks and careful dose adjustments are so important.

Using ProZinc insulin for cats and dogs safely

ProZinc insulin for cats and dogs is always prescribed and supervised by a vet. Safety depends on good communication and consistent care at home.

Your vet will:

• Confirm the diagnosis of diabetes with blood and urine tests

• Check for other problems that might affect treatment

• Show you exactly how to store, mix and inject the insulin

• Set an initial dose based on weight and test results

You will need to:

• Follow the injection instructions step by step

• Keep feeding and injection times as consistent as possible

• Monitor your pet’s behaviour, appetite and thirst

• Watch for signs of low or high blood sugar and act quickly if they appear

If you ever feel unsure about a dose or an injection, contact your vet for advice. Never guess with insulin.

Dosing and monitoring with ProZinc insulin

Your vet will tell you how often to give ProZinc insulin for cats and dogs. Many pets are dosed twice daily with meals, but your vet’s plan is the one to follow.

General points include:

• Always check the label before drawing up a dose

• Gently roll the vial as directed to mix the suspension

• Use the correct insulin syringes, as advised by your vet

• Inject under the skin at the site your vet has shown you

Monitoring is just as important as dosing. Your vet may:

• Arrange regular blood tests or glucose curves

• Ask you to keep a simple diary of appetite, thirst and behaviour

• Suggest periodic fructosamine tests to check long-term control

You should contact your vet urgently if you notice signs of low blood sugar, such as wobbliness, weakness, confusion, collapse or seizures. They will give you a clear emergency plan in advance.

Storage and handling

ProZinc insulin for cats and dogs is a temperature-sensitive medicine. Your vet and the package leaflet will explain exactly how to store it. Typically you will need to:

• Keep the vial in the fridge within the recommended temperature range

• Protect it from freezing and from direct sunlight

• Replace the vial once it reaches the in-use expiry date after opening

Always keep ProZinc insulin for cats and dogs, syringes and sharps out of sight and reach of children and other animals. Used needles should be placed in a suitable sharps container and returned to your vet or pharmacy as advised.

When you follow your vet’s instructions closely, ProZinc insulin for cats and dogs can play a vital role in managing diabetes and supporting a better quality of life for your pet.
