This is for Marcel? What gauge needle are you using on him? Is he just a wiggle worm or does he fight you tooth and nail? The scruff is suppose to be the least sensitive area to give sub-q injections but if location doesn't matter then you can basically give them anywhere you can pull up skin into a tent. The upper thigh is also a popular area, like where vet's give injections.
