The only problem was that there are few options and the number one option (NPH/Humulin N) was the insulin that she had a severe reaction to back in 2004. For these reasons, my vet had no problem with me stockpiling Vetsulin. So he is being re-veganized (Violet's already vegan), as long as his back and leg aren't adversely affected.
