My diabetic dog's insulin broke. What to do until I get more?

Question

My dog has diabetes. I dropped his insulin and it broke. I can't replacement until Tuesday. He will miss 4 shots. WHAT SHOOULD I DO TO KEEP HIM WELL UNTIL THEN. Pet's info: Dog | Yorkshire Terrier | Male | neutered | 15 lbs

Dr. Strydom, DVM · Accepted Answer

Just keep him on his normal feeding and exercise routine. His blood sugar will be elevated without the insulin but a couple days should not be that huge of a problem. What you may notice is a temporary recurrence of signs (such as excess thirst and urination), but is not life threatening. If you see him acting ill though you should take him to an ER clinic immediately.
