As far as Epinephrine goes, ask your vet to prescribe it in a little vial instead of an Epi Pen. I give myself my allergy shots and that's what I have here. Mine is a 1 mg/mL. vial. You would have to only draw what your vet prescribes for her with a syringe, then inject her. It's very easy to do and less painful than an Epi Pen.


Thank you! Her vet has offered to premeasure a shot for her but our concerns are this has to be kept dark and refrigerated? Do you keep it in an ice chest when you travel? What kind of container to keep it out of light? I REALLY appreciate any insight. This is sort of a life changing experience since Shelby goes everywhere with us and we love (loved?) hiking
