Ty. Bhooma. How do I measure a drop dose?

It's the easiest dose to measure :-) Push the plunger of the empty syringe in fully, keep it pressed and insert in the pen. Let go of the pressure on the plunger and it will draw a drop. When you insert the needle into Haley, push the plunger and count to ten if she will let you!

Ok. Ty. Just so I learn, why do we have to count to 10 when we don’t with a higher dose?

I think it's because it's so tiny a dose, you want to make sure it leaves the syringe! I may be wrong.

If you don't hold the plunger, the drop will suck back into the syringe. I practiced a bit with it before I tried it on Wesson. First to see that it actually grabbed a drop and then to test holding the plunger down and see what happened.

Ty, Paige! Wishing Wesson the best!
 
I definitely think she’s going OTJ again. Have you done a drop dose in the past? I was just wondering because of the discussion about calipers. I have heard of people inserting the syringe into the vial/pen while depressing the plunger and then letting go. This is one way to do a drop dose. I’m sure calipers are more accurate.

Hi, Suzanne. I think so, too I haven’t done a drop dose before. I’d like to try. She’ll probably be in the green before bed, then I can start the drop dose tomorrow. If it turns out, I need the calipers, I’ll, certainly, get them. Ty for watching out for her!
