I have a 9 year old pug with diabetes. She takes vetsulin 2x daily--9 units in the morning and 2 units in the evening. She didn't wake up at her usual 5:30 am this morning and when she did wake up, she is very lethargic and has lost control of her balance. She will not eat. My husband gave her the usual 9 units of vetsulin(I don't think he should have). She finally ate some apple sauce but shortly after vomited. Our vet hasn't answered our page(it is sunday)--we live in a rural area with no emergency vet. What should we do? Any advice would be appreciated.

Always assume that a diabetic dog acting strangely has low blood sugar. I realize this is late and the crisis has passed. If the dog will not eat you can rub some corn syrup, pancake syrup, etc on his gums, or give some by syringe. Ask your vet about whether to give all, part, or no insulin if this happens in the future.
