Feeling very pleased with myself

Managed to give Leo his penicillin (depicillin or similar name can't remember) injection just now with no trouble whatsoever.

Big improvement since last week when I first tried, it transpired that the needle was blocked! I jabbed him about 10 times trying to inject, and the second needle I did it wrong and hit a vein as there was blood.:shock:

The vet shaved a patch on his scruff so I can actually see what I am doing and it is 100 times easier now I can see!

NO BLOOD!!!!

Yay.

Now he just needs to get better :(
 
I've got to do Cheeky's today :shock: Friday I made a mess of it so yesterday got the vet to do it. I'm sat here now trying to gee myself up to do it :)
 
thanks guys! :D

bunslave you can do it! I had the misfortune of doing it wrong the first time and having a clogged needle the second time. I'd still find it difficult had the vet not shaved a patch for me to see.

I put the needle in, leave it a few seconds to check for no blood, then inject the liquid. That way I know its going in the right place :oops:

Makes me feel sick and dizzy doing it though
