As you can guess, I have concerns about proper use of it. And, BTW, I do use it and I did stay all afternoon in my vet's office the first time I gave it. And, I am a nurse with a hundred years experience but it still makes me nervous.. |
I worked as a vet tech for years, but I always second guess myself when using it on my own girls! Whispersmom2 is EXACTLY RIGHT and NEVER use it unless your vet has properly showed you how to administer it!
