Due to a manufacturing issue, the manufacturer of Vetsulin has advised that the Food and Drug Administration has recommended that veterinarians consider transitioning their patients to other insulin products. There has been no recall but supplies will be limited, and it is anticipated that Vetsulin will no longer be available in 3 or 4 weeks.
Prior purchasers of Vetsulin should speak to their veterinarian about an alternative product. For cat owners, your veterinarian can consider the use of ProZinc although some dosage adjustment may be necessary. For dog owners, there are insulin options available, but your veterinarian will need to decide the appropriate product to use.
If you have any questions, please call our pharmacy department at 1-888-738-6331.

You can try humulin N which is still around and often effective in my opinion when used in most animals twice daily but check with your vet.
