It helped me a ton.<br /><br />We had difficulty with seeing the markings on the bag due to where we hung the bag, so we used a black marker to mark off on the bag how much we needed to use. That helped us. <br /><br />And regarding the tears - more often than not I cried. When he cried out I was sobbing. It was just too hard seeing my boy suffer. Poking him with needles was not fun for any of us.The Cat Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17862401517530290759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4267429547601186286.post-1827855293972748792013-06-21T21:10:20.032-06:002013-06-21T21:10:20.032-06:00We think Jewel knows you are sticking her to help ...We think Jewel knows you are sticking her to help her feel better.

They will always give you the largest sized needle for fluids because the fluids will go faster, taking less time that the pet has to sit there receiving fluids. I know many people did not like this though and requested smaller needles.AnnStaubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09386132460741393276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4267429547601186286.post-33712749481801599662013-06-21T09:19:12.313-06:002013-06-21T09:19:12.313-06:00We think you are doing good too and we are always ...We think you are doing good too and we are always sending our best purrs to sweet Jewel.

I'm going to admit to something...the first time I gave my cat Bogart sub-qs, it went terrible (I kept having to stick him because I wasn't sure I was doing it right) and I sat and cried for an hour. It does get easier as you become more accustom to the procedure.<br /><br />The CRF group is an excellent group for support. Smaller needles will help (I used 20 gauge.)<br /><br />Is there anything you can give Jewel to distract her from what's going on? A treat or some catnip or a toy? This might help.<br /><br />Hugs to you...it will get better.<br /><br />Island Cats' momThe Island Catshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04593776444080555845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4267429547601186286.post-18882647804286166882013-06-21T06:51:42.688-06:002013-06-21T06:51:42.688-06:00We are purring that you both get used to doing/hav...We are purring that you both get used to doing/having it done and just get used to it as part of routine.<br />Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xxHannah and Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01349810117072020253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4267429547601186286.post-6440758816910624012013-06-21T06:02:54.461-06:002013-06-21T06:02:54.461-06:00Poor sweet little Jewel.

I seem to recall from the distant past when I was reading up on this that even in the same size, some are sharper (maybe their shape?) than others, and were therefore considered less uncomfortable. <br /><br />Both you and Jewel will do well once you get the hang of this. You can do it!
