"How much will this cost to treat?" This is one of the questions often asked by a caregiver with a newly diagnosed diabetic pet. The answer depends, of course, on the level of care one intends to give the animal. Less care means less cost. If all one intends to do is administer insulin and nothing else, there is only the cost of the insulin (which varies by type) and the syringes or insulin pen.

  • "How much will this cost to treat?" This is one of the questions often asked by a caregiver with a newly diagnosed diabetic pet. The answer depends, of course, on the level of care one intends to give the animal. Less care means less cost. If all one intends to do is administer insulin and nothing else, there is only the cost of the insulin (which varies by type) and the syringes or insulin pen. Caregivers may be instructed by the veterinarian to leave the animal in their care for a few days, up to a week, to allow the animal to be "regulated" on a proper dose of insulin. That may cost $100 to $200 a day (US dollars and US price levels). The vet then may want the animal returned every month for a glucose curve; another $150 perhaps. Many caregivers feel these are unnecessary expenses because an animal rarely can be regulated in such a short period of time and the stress associated with the clinic stay can lead to atypical blood glucose readings. Those costs can be significantly lowered if the caregiver hometests blood glucose levels.
