I went and pulled out the syringes I have for the Adequan and they are monojects. I wish I had someone here who has used both. Harpoon is a good word
to describe them.
Amy (& trixie) told me she used the Terumo's for this size.
We used Terumos 1cc/mL 25G x5/8" needles for Mario's adequan - this is what the vet gave us, too. Next to the insulin needles, these things felt like harpoons, and they did take more "muscle" to get them to pierce his skin, but we always thought that was - in part - because his skin as tougher than Trix's.

The terumo's are so much better for insulin.... wonder if they carry thru for the Adequan harpoons.



Shadow did fine after her shot last night ( of Adequan). Her numbers didn't go up from the stress.
I guess she's just a big baby when it comes to getting poked.
I took our sheer curtains down in our living room to wash and we currently have lots of sunbeams ( cheers, Mannie) and Shadow is rolling on the floor
enjoying them, makes me want to leave the curtains off. :lol:
We have this huge 12 foot sliding door in this room. The sun doesn't usually make sunbeams with the sheer curtains hanging.

So far she's been in a good holding pattern for the last week plus.
And I just bought her a set of stairs ( because I could have the wood trimmed down to make them narrow)

I got them for $150. pricey but all the others are too cumbersome. I'm limited on space beside the bed. I hope Shadow will use them.
Of course, the dog ( Luna) probably will too. :roll:
 
Re: 5/23 Shadow ambg 96 question on 1cc/mL syringes

Hi guys .. nice green this morning shadow! Glad to hear shadow did fine after her shot and her numbers didn't shoot up .. Those stairs look really nice .. I bet they will enjoy them .. but probably not as much as the sun beams :-D have a great day!

It definitely could be worth trying the Terumos for Shadow's Adequan. We never used such a large needle for Trix, so we don't know if it would be just has hard to pierce her skin with the harpoons as it was with Mario, but I can say that when we tented Mario for his shot, the whole tent did feel much thicker than Trix's.

There may be some people who do use insulin syringes for the Adequan. Maybe check with Patty & Champ - I know she uses Adequan with him, and since he's also diabetic, it's probably a better comparison to Shadow than our Mario was.

That BG is lookin' good this morning!!

Hi guys,

Nice on the sunbeams! Nice on the new stairs! Nice on Shadow's AMBG!! I hope that you can find a satisfactory syringe for the Adequan.

Enjoy the day,

Hugs & scritches,

Ella & Rusty

Those are nice stairs. I like the look of them.

Good luck on the syringes! I can't help at all with that. :)

That's a nice BG. :-D

Hi There!
Lovely ambg :-D Sorry I know nothing about those syringes. Thank you for all the visits, Rhiannon!
 
Re: 5/23 Shadow ambg 96 question on 1cc/mL syringes

Those stairs look great. I hope Shadow will use them. That's a nice start to the day. :mrgreen:
 
I like Shadow's latest numbers.... wish I new what brought them down.... :YMSIGH:

I did think of one thing that happened recently.
I did get some coconut oil and it took a while but she finally took a lick one day... and another the next day... and ate a little....
It does correspond with her numbers gettling a little lower..... but
I can see no reason at all why that would do it.

It must be the adequan is finally staying in her system enough to keep her from hurting as much ...but she still basically sleeps all day...
and much of the night....
just her normal pattern.

but normal is good and certainly better than not....
