Myxo Jab questions

Jims went for his jab today and I just have a couple of questions:

1. Normaly they inject a small amount of the vaccine just under the skin of the 'scruff' (injection point) and then continue all the way in with the rest, however this time she injected a small amount in to the ridge of his ear then the rest in to the 'scruff' :? Is this a new way of doing it?

2. The vet had pre-prepared the jab so it was ready to go when we got in to the room, however becuase I had a few questions about Jims and Cookie which I asked before the jab was given, it ment it was sitting out for at least 10- 15 mins before administered. Is this ok? :shock:
 
1, Those are the two ways of doing it, and different vets prefer varying ones, so that's ok.

2, As long as it touched nothing, I would presume it to be fine, although someone would have to clarify that.

As far as I could see it was sat ont he counter top the whole time with the lid on.
 
Thankyou for your responses.
I just apoke to the nurse who said that there is no problem with it being left out. I beleive her words were... 'No, absolutly no problem at all'
So hopefully all will be good.
I said to her 'It would not alter the effectivnes would it?' and she said 'No, no worries there'
