New Member - Cher

Hi
Our cat Cher is having Lantus 4 units twice daily which she commenced in June this year when she was diagnosed with feline diabetes. The diabetes was possibly caused by the commencement of steroids which the IM specialist prescribed for her IBD.
This morning after I gave her her shot, I noticed the skin around the injection site was very bruised (dark grape purple in colour) in quite a large area (possibly the size of a twenty cent piece).
Prior to the shot, her skin was normal in colour.
I did draw back after the needle was inserted but there was no blood visible in the syringe.
Has anyone experienced this type of bruising after injecting?
Thanks,
Jan
