I'm wondering what would be a better way as this is the method I have used thousands of times. My history has showed it to be the eaisest and safest way I've found. How do you create the pocket under the skin to inject the medicine into. I Pinch and pull inject into the pocket created by pinching and pulling. Same as angie except I call it a pocket she called it a tent. I'm not seeing how this method is a very good way to inject myself.msscamp":1pp6e1il said:angie":1pp6e1il said:Sometimes helps to pinch a tent of their skin and poking needle in there.
That is a very good way to inject yourself instead of the animal. A lot of the vaccines can cause some very nasty problems when that happens, so you may want to rethink your injection technique.
