Also, I think the syringes we have are too big. They are a 22 gage but even my husband thought they were big. Poor baby yelped 
What size do you use??? I beleive I've seen 25 gage. If anyone can tell where I can get a smaller syringe I'd so much appreciate it.
Thank you! |
My Bichon who gets insulin shots uses a 31 guage needle, it is very very fine and he never feels it. When AprilLove got her first Bordella shot the vet (a crotchity guy :-( put this big needle in her and she just screamed bloody murder. I almost started crying! I asked what guage it was and he said 28, apparently that is standard with some of the vaccines because of the volume in cc's that must be given. Anyway, just wanted to say that there are finer needles out there, and that 22 is probably larger than you need on your little Tia. You shold be able to go to your pharmacy to get them.
