I just read the directions on the 7 in one shot I bought for my 2 dogs today and it said to give the shot in the nape or skin behind the front leg soooooo you did it right despite the other comments on here.

Good video. Thanks.
-
That looked quite fast, aren't you suppose to administer it slowly so it causes less pain?
-
@daisy250224 You win.. your the internet argument winner. I really don't care about your so called "qualifications."
-
@ollenbergerstudios I actually am smart because this is what I am currently going to school for.
Subcutaneous does not mean behind the neck. IntraScapular is the correct term meaning between the shoulder blades on the neck. You can Google that. What I just stated is coming from my Veterinary Nursing Text Book.

@daisy250224 on the instructions on my vaccination it says to inject intramuscular or subcutaneously -- meaning behind the neck or in the thigh muscle.. and has instructions on how to do so... you daisy are incorrect - regurgitating the google search engine doesn't make you seem smart.
-
what happens if you dont mix both vaccines and just give the puppy the purple fluid? oh and he bleeds some? im worried
-
It is incorrect. You should not give any injections in the nape area, because there is poor drainage in the inerscapular area, and if a postvaccinal lump develops it is difficult to surgically remove it. Hope this helps.
-
SQ injections are easy BUT the FIRST thing you always do is ASPIRATE [pull back on plunger], that is to make sure if you hit a vein, and if you see blood in your hub you just re-direct the needle aspirate again, and if there's NO BLOOD you give.
-
your actually supposed to pull back on the plunger before you inject..im not sure if you did or not but its to make sure you aren't getting any blood.
you sure made it seem simple - my pit had his first vacine today...
poor fella is throwin up everywhere....tut...tut

@vi3tnoromeo to give the shot is simple, but that doesn't mean that your dog will not react to a vaccine. As with any living thing everyone reacts differently. The sole act of providing the vaccine is a simple one.
Sorry to hear about your pup though, that is never good.

I was told by a Vet and other experts to give the shots in their thigh and leg areas and not near the nape....is that correct or can you do it in either place?

alright i was trying to do it your way and my pup started yelping alot so the bag my vac. came in showed a pic of one in the back leg so i did it and the bubble came and i rubbed it off. is that okay. is it normal for them to cry and what do you think i should do next time

@dukiegoogoo no they should not yelp like crazy you might have hit the muscle and went to deep. Its supposed to be a subcutaneous injection meaning just under the skin. I am not familiar with the back leg shots. But sometimes sometimes also you may think the pup is crying alot when they are just protesting being help and are given anything so the pup was likely just over reacting unless you hit the muscle and went too deep. When all else fails ask your vet.
