Good morning.

Thanks MT.

Harley doesn’t appear to be bleeding anymore, The wrap is still on and doesn’t appear to have any seepage thru it. He’s not limping on it at all, and no swelling, so all is well:)

I woke up thru the night thinking about the penecillin and syringe I bought according to the vet...Dawned on me (why does this stuff dawn on you at 3:00 in the morning:), that the syringe is huge. She said 35 cc’s...That is a huge syringe. I’m wondering if she meant that much all together??? I’m going to have to call her and make sure. I think I remember that you shouldn’t give more then 10-12 cc’s in one site...that means 3 sticks every time if 35 is given all at once.

Anybody know if this could be right?

Becky

Man, I miss a day and all h*** breaks loose. I'm sorry about Harley although it sounds like he'll be fine - you have a great vet, sounds like :)

35cc is a lot, perhaps she meant per day and you could split it up? I think we usually are giving like 20cc at a time but yes, multiple areas if possible. Try to bring the syringe and penicillen up to about room temp before giving, it's easier that way since it's so thick.
