I tried to give Yuki an injection by myself today, but I just couldn't do it. I should have quit trying after the second poke because I know I hurt him when I kept trying. I did get the needle under his skin once, but he flinched, and I reacted by pulling it out. Then I tried again, and I'm not even sure if it got under the skin that time, but it didn't matter because the penicillin wouldn't come out. It was stuck in the needle. Finally I just broke down and called the vet to do it for me. I was crying a lot because I'm sure I hurt my poor baby. I'm just not comfortable doing this at all, and I don't think it's safe for Yuki if I can't do it. The vet is going to show me again on Monday, then I'm going to try one more time by myself on Thursday, but if I just can't get it, do you think it's ok to bring him to the vet everytime? It's only 2 days a week, and the tech doesn't mind doing it, and they do it for free too. My concern was that Yuki might get too stressed out, but he's always fine when we get home. I'm not sure how long he'll have to get these injections, possibly forever now, so if I absolutely can't bring myself to give the needles, do you think bringing him to the vet twice a week for possibly the rest of his life would be ok for him? I just want what's best for him, and I absolutely do not ever want to hurt him again.
