My barn owner bought the shots in bulk so all I had to do was pay for them from her, and she showed me how to give the shot. Milo was great, better in fact than he is for Dr Hills-what a momma's boy.
The first one I gave was the three-way, and I got the needle in fine, but when I thought I attached the suringe to it and pushed to get the stuff in, it splattered all out and into my face. So obviously I didnt secure it correctly. I had to buy a second one from the BO. At least I learned!
I got the second one in on the other side fine, and Milo was a real champ. I think part of it was he wasnt expecting Mommy to do something like that to him! I went to try my second attempt at the three-way on the same side as the first, and this time his neck was tense lol. But I got it in fine and so squirting everywhere else.
Than Shannon the BO gave him his strangles up the nose, which I was surprised by just how well Milo took that. I didnt think he would much like it up the nose.
I was rather proud of myself for administering them myself, and saving a good bit of money from not having the vet out. And of course, Im proud of Mr Milo for being such a good sport, even if he endured one more needle from Mom's goof.

You should be proud! I do IM injections in an emergency, never IV, but our vet does our vaccinations. And thank you for visiting my blog!
