Lancets

I saw in video to use a 30g at least starting out...but I didn’t know they came in lengths also. What depth do I want?
Thanks!

 

The gauge number is for the thickness. When you start out, you want a smaller number (26 or 28), as that means a thicker needle. Once the ears "learn to bleed" (grow more capillaries), you can switch to the smaller needles (30 or 31) and a more comfortable poke.

 

I knew about gauge...I’m talking about depth. But I just went and ordered a pet monitor kit. I went on App Store (Apple) and the reviews on the monitor I had ordered are horrific. I just liked that it was supposed to synch with phone. Live and learn.
Anyway Friday I will get the kit with everything I need.

 

Which monitor did you order?

 

I went with the advocate pet test.
Darn it...nice fur shot this am

 

These are the ones I use.
