Can I give my BP her injection while on shed?

Hello!

My BP has an uper respiratory infection and is getting an injection of ceftazidime every three days. I was wondering of I'm able to still give her her injection even though she's in blue? I'd ask my vet but they're closed on weekends!

Thanks :)

i don't see why not

I just went though this and the answer is yes. Just make sure you get it deep enough, either IM or Sub Q as per your vets instructions. I always lift up on the needle just a bit to make sure it's under before I inject. If you do this and you can see the needle, you'll be under the shed and not into the snake. I'm assuming you've seen a shed before so you know how thin it really is. Trust your experience and proceed as normal. Speedy recovery!

Thanks! I gave her her shot and she was not happy... I wish they could understand it's because we love them!

It's awful, I hated giving the injections and was so happy when it was all done! It took her a while after to get used to being held again, every time I took her out she thought she was going to be poked. :( Hope she heals up fast! But yeah, don't think being in shed would affect anything at all.

Thanks! Since her second injection I haven't heard any clicking, popping, or wheezing so hopefully she'll be fine! :)
