Wow, weird finding your post here!

It is crucial to understand that Adequan Canine is a prescription medication that a licensed veterinarian should only administer. The importance of veterinary oversight cannot be stressed enough, as improper administration or dosage can lead to serious adverse reactions, including death. Your veterinarian can help you determine if your dog is the appropriate candidate for Adequan Canine and guide you through the dosage and administration process. It’s also important to note that regular check-ups with your veterinarian can help detect any negative side effects early on, ensuring that your dog receives the best possible care.

Thank youuuuuu 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

We can't answer medical questions of this nature online, but your doctor certainly can! Would you mind reaching out to your veterinarian with this specific question?

I'm sorry, and thank you for understanding.

When she kept slamming her hands back & forth I thought for sure she was about to stab herself with the needle 😱😰😅😅

this is great help... Just wanted to ask if it's normal when after injecting the medication you'll feel like a ball on the spot where you administer the medication? Hoping for your reply. Thanks

@EthosVeterinaryHealth

3 жыл бұрын

Hello Monic, it depends on the medication and volume being given! If it's something like subcutaneous (SQ) fluids (fluids given under the skin) then yes, it is normal. The body should gradually absorb it as it needs it. Usually, medications are such a small amount, you don't feel a bump. If it's painful or warm to the touch, then contact your veterinarian. Thank you for the question!

Question: Doesn't administering vaccines subcutaneously between the shoulder blades of the dog have more of a likelihood of forming a pocket of vaccine, which results in the vaccine being absorbed very slowly, which also increases the time until the dog seroconverts and forms protective antibodies and can result in the formation of abscesses if the injection site was contaminated? Sorry for the run-on sentence.

@FVWhimsy2010

Vaccinations should be administered according to the manufacturer instructions. If the instruction is sub-Q...then this is it how it is done. Unless if you have a better method?

So,... i didn't KZread any videos prior to dosing my dog with the vaccine from Tractor supply since no vet clinics are allowed to operate in my state at the moment. While administering the dose, I didn't insert the needle halfway and didn't pull on the plunger. Is it possible that I just wasted her vaccine? I checked her fur and there weren't any lumps or moisture present.

@EthosVeterinaryHealth

4 жыл бұрын

If there was no moisture on the fur then most likely you did inject into the Sub Q area. Typically you want to insert the needle and pull back on the plunger just to ensure you are in the space. If you pull back and the syringe fills with air, that usually means you have poked in and out of the skin causing you to waste the vaccine. It sounds like you injected it properly. Out of curiosity which state are you in?

I thought i had a good spot with the scruff pulled up between the shoulder blades and i found the pocket, but she gave a big yelp was very upset. I know i did something wrong but i dont know what. Could i have been trying to insert ot too slowly? I dont think i ever fully pierced the skin before she jumped back. She can probably tell that im nervous too.

@EthosVeterinaryHealth

Жыл бұрын

Hi there, some dogs do jump more than others if they are sensitive. But it also could be because of inserting it too slowly. There is not much you can do damage to in this area, so as long as you have a new needle on and insert it at an angle into the pocket swiftly but not jabbing, it should be fine. You could spread peanut butter on the floor in front of her or have another person feeding her a yummy treat during the injection. I hope this helps! You can always call your veterinarian if you have any concerns.

Good video, however I was confused about her pulling the plunger while the needle is already in. My vet didn’t do that so now I’m confused.

Do you disinfect the area first?

@EthosVeterinaryHealth

When i pulled the needle out, the syringe let go of the needle so I had to feel around the find it and pull it out. Why would this happen?

@EthosVeterinaryHealth

It could be that the needle was not locked onto the syringe/line. Check to make sure when you add a new needle that it is locked in place by twisting. If using a syringe, the needle would lock into place by twisting. If using a line there is usually a little piece that you twist over the plastic bit of the new needle to lock it.

It is possible that the needle on the end of the syringe is not locked into place. While it is capped as to not hurt yourself, make sure the needle twists into the syringe tightly. If that is not the issue, I would recommend calling your primary care doctor to discuss the issue you are having and see if they have a solution. Good luck!

can a subq injection be given in other places such as the leg?

@EthosVeterinaryHealth

2 жыл бұрын

Hi there! An injection could be given in any subq space technically. We recommend confirming with your doctor that the drug you are administering doesn’t require a specific injection site. The Subq space between the pets shoulders is typically the best place to inject because of the area you have to work with and it is less invasive to the pet.

What gauge needle do you use for the injection

@EthosVeterinaryHealth

Typically a larger gauge so the flow of fluids is quicker and much less pressure/discomfort to the pet. So an 18 gauge is commonly used.

There are some fear free practices you can work on at home to introduce things to your pet. Check out [fearfreepets.com](fearfreepets.com). It is also a great idea to practice putting on a muzzle. Muzzles are great at not only protecting your pet and the people around during a stressful event, but it may make your dog feel a bit more protected as well. This is something you want to work on slowly at home, allow your dog to willingly enter the muzzle and give a treat! This practice can make your vet visit a little easier with practice and training.

Why do you pull back the plunger before putting the medication into their body?

@EthosVeterinaryHealth

5 жыл бұрын

Hi there! Pulling back the plunger after you insert the needle is an important way to make sure you are truly in the sub q space. If for example, you pull back the plunger and the syringe fills with air, you know that you must have poked in and out of their skin and would be injecting the medication onto the fur or in the air. Pulling back on the plunger when you are in the skin, and the plunger bounces back and does not fill with air, means you are in the space and can go ahead and give the injection. It is just a check so you are not wasting medications and your pet gets the full dose. Thanks for the question!

Corey H. Hi there! The biggest concern when giving the sub q injection is pulling back and getting air in the syringe. This means you have poked in and then out of the skin and could potentially disperse the medication onto your pet’s fur. That is why we typically tell clients needing to give these injections at home, usually not being medically trained, to train themselves to pull back on that plunger. Thanks for the question!
