Woke up to 2 giant hairballs where Tessa sleeps (on an old pillow with a decorative pillowcase on it). I had to throw her pillowcases in the wash and she is not happy about her favorite spot being disturbed.
Tessa is also suddenly nervous about getting her insulin. Yesterday morning she flinched when I gave her insulin. I initially thought that I hit muscle but after reviewing the numbers for yesterday, I don't think that's the case. She did move as I gave her the shot so I think maybe it hurt as it went in.
Now this morning she kept turning around looking at me while I was getting ready to give her insulin. I let her move and then would tent the skin and then she'd move again and turn to look at me. When I finally gave the insulin she jerked a little bit. I know that the bevel was up and it went in quick and straight so I don't know why the needles are suddenly bothering her. I did just open a new bag from the box I had been using, maybe they're defective? I might try opening a new bag just to see if that helps.
The only other thing I can think of is shot location. I was shooting closer to the center of the scruff but yesterday and today I was trying more to the right of her scruff. Maybe that area is just uncomfortable to shoot in? I'll try a different area this evening and see if that helps.
