Squallie jumped away when I shot him tonight, like it hurt him. This is the first time he has ever done this. I'm worried I got him in a vein or more likely, a muscle. How concerned should I be?Also, he was eating when I shot him and now he won't eat, like he associates the food with pain. :(:(:(
 
I did that once in a while with Neko too. She got over it quickly. You and Squallie should be OK. Sometimes a muscle shot seems to onset a bit earlier. Sending vines.:bighug:

I cried buckets about Uncle too. All that Barbara had to go through was a little too familiar and fresh. :( Sending comfort her way.

I went to shoot Gordy back in the beginning and we had these really long u40 needles for his insulin. I did the tent and he howled, so i just shot in the scruff. Later I looked ovet his leg and saw he had a big bruise under his fur =( i felt SO BAD. He got over it.

And for G, muscle shots tend to give me very late nadirs. So i guess it depends on the cat.

Poor Squallie! Hopefully he forgets it soon! :bighug:

Thanks, Wendy. I'll test a little earlier tonight to make sure he's okay.

(((Hugs))) to you, Barbara and Uncle's experience has to be particularly painful to you, I'm sure. I'm just so sad about it, I cry every time I think about it. :(

Thanks, Cassie, I'll test him a little later in the cycle, too, lol. Squallie usually won't tolerate shooting him anywhere but in the scruff, so I try to shoot to the sides a bit so it's not always in the same place; guess I got too far to the side for him this time. I just don't want to cause him any injury!

I hope you and Squallie have a good night. I'll be checking in to make sure he's feeling better, you too.
I accidentally got Uncle a couple of times in the muscle (I think) because he flinched and whipped around to look at me. I guess it's bound to happen from time to time. :bighug:

Thanks, Barbara, for checking in on us. I think I must have gotten him in the muscle because he's never had a reaction like that before.
