It helped me sooo much to be able to watch KZread videos several times before I had to give my dog fluids. The vet tech showed me how to do it as well, but I was overwhelmed and couldn't remember everything, but watching these videos gave me the confidence to do it. Thank you 🙏

I found this so helpful tonight - thanks for posting it 😊

that pup took it like a champ

This was wonderful. Very thorough. Thank you very much!

her voice is very comforting

Mine started this easy and now even with 2 of us we couldn't give her the shot last night because she fought as soon as I pulled the skin up and now I'm not sure what to do

Same. This is his second bag (once a week ). I’m scared and tired of poking him . Since he knows I’m the poker he looks at my every move. When grabbing the skin he jumps off trying to get out of the way. Was able to insert the needle but he couldn’t be still so the needle fell out . I will try tomorrow again if not the vet tech can do it for $14.

@@stephaniepmarti We ended up moving her to different rooms at different times so when it came time she didnt expect it which seemed to help some. See if you can find someone to hold him since it helped a lot having my wife hold her and it worked best when wife was sitting in a chair but she is a smaller dog (Shih-tzu) and I am not sure how big yours is

My dog screamed when I put the needle in. It was awful. I'm a nurse and I was definitely in the fat and not the muscle. I tried a smaller gauge (23) but it takes so long that he starts to move around. Is there anything I can do so that a larger gauge needle isn't so painful for him?

have you tried local anesthesia (2% lidocaine) administered with a 25 or 27ga needle? I found that gabapentin an hour prior to subq fluids helped my old man feel less anxious and ambo. wishing you luck!

Is this for a puppy too?

I thought it had to be inserted to a blood vien.

Not for subcutaneous administration.
