I hope that this new dose brings you better results very soon. Good luck, and I hope you all have a good day. Please be safe, and stay warm.

Re: 2/10 Oliver AMPS 533

You're not a bad bean...fur shots happen to all of us! Oliver will bounce back from it. I'm glad you're on your way to a good day !!!

Re: 2/10 Oliver AMPS 533

Thanks guys. I am sure he will be fine its just how bad i feel all night, it totally stresses me out. Going to exercise and de stress and its off to work I go!

HI guys .. don't stress yourself out over furshots .. they happen and we move on, it's all we can do about them :YMHUG: Oliver, how about some nice blues later on?? Have a great day guys!

Re: 2/10 Oliver AMPS 533

shoot - that's too bad. but it does happen.

are you using the lift & roll method, where you just roll back a bit and put the needle just under the skin? if so, and you're having lots of fur shots, you might have better luck with the pull up a hunk of flesh method that i described last night. i only once had the needle go all the way through and i used both short and longer needles.

i also always waited for punkin to bury his face in his food before giving his shot. that distracted him and kept him in one spot while i shot him.

Here's one video that shows giving a cat an injection with that method:

the only thing i'd disagree with is the "pull back the syringe to see if there is blood in it" comment. i've had my allergy injections do that and it hurts like hell. i think if you're in the right area, you're not likely to hit veins.

hang in there! it'll get easier! and he'll recover from the fur shot. everyone does them sometimes.

Well holding strong to the Purple and Reds. Poor guy. Praying for lower #'s this afternoon in to the PMPS.
