Oh, the patent expired? No problem, we’ll just methylate the structure, see that it makes no difference and put it out on the market as a new drug. Or maybe take the active part of a racemic mixture and half the dosage. Same drug double the patent. Semisynthetic insulin is even worse in that regard.
My cat is so food motivated he eats absolutely everything. Obviously has a preference for wet food with gravy so I buy a bunch of different flavours in bulk but he’s happy to eat the same thing every day. He also loves olives, bread (wholemeal more than white, sourdough has an advantage too. Local bakery bread is where things are really at. Supermarket bread is a mixed bag, he usually ignores it because it’s crap), seeds, nuts, potato chips, lentils, hummus, yogurt, and grass.
First of all, ask your vet!!! I’m not a vet, just a random person on the internet.
Not sure what type of insulin you’re using but most pens used in humance medicine are 3ml (100IU/ml, there are exceptions of course). That might be a better option. In fact our vet patients use your regular humane Lantus, Tresiba and Insulatard.
I would side on the cautious side of things and not give my cat expired insulin. I know some people do it and they’re just fine but I wouldn’t risk it.
I’ve been giving my cat Brit. A… Czech brand that he seems to totally love. Dry kibble in the mornings, wet food in the evenings. His water intake seems good that way. He has a sensitive stomach and so far this is one of the few brands he has no problems with. Hills is another brand that was ok but its quality isn’t much better than Brit at a higher price tag, it’s also owned by Colgate Palmolive.
I mean…I was like that when we first adopted our cat. Then we learned about respecting personal space and whaddya know, I haven’t been scratched in months (Last time was me trying to remove a small piece of thread from his mouth, to prevent him from eating it. He ate it anyway with no consequences and gave me a gash that left a scar.)
Exactly the reason I got a second hand iPhone coming from Android. All my androids would suddenly get a stroke after three years at best. My old boss would hold a funeral for his 10 year old iPhone which worked great but shattered after a bad drop.
