Not much movement with that +2

I pressed the plunger after the injection, and there was a tiny drop left. I try to be so careful, pushing the plunger in firmly even as I withdraw, and I leave the needle in, plunger firmly depressed, for a count to "2 kitty" or more before I withdraw the syringe. She did move today as I got to "2 kitty", but the needle wasn't displaced and there was no Lantus smell.

Maybe there was just a tiny drop because she moved...this is very boring, though! She did this yesterday morning as well. Keep still, Girlie!
 
That's the tough part about starting high, there is plenty of opportunity for improvement :rolleyes:, nice and easy, Girlie, it's good to get down to the beach, Maverick might still be hanging out there, so don't be in such a rush to visit :cat:
 
I hold for a quick 10-count.

A new trick I am using - when I go to give the shot I hold the syringe like a dart between my thumb and middle finger (no finger near or on the plunger). Once I know I have the needle in and Gizmo isn't moving I push and hold the plunger (hard) for a quick 10-count. I count silent to 5 and then out loud to 10 (trust me, Gizmo know's what the #10 is - lol) and hold the plunger down hard unti it is out. Knock on wood, anit-jinx and all that but so far so good using that technique. He has moved and jerked and I have almost dropped the syringe but I have not given a fur shot!
