Bob pops them a couple of times with his hand and then on the third pop hits with the needle. He checks for blood and then after giving the shot, pinchs the site for a couple of seconds and then rubs it.
I was probably very lucky when I first started doing it:) I was pretty nervous. I was giving a horse penecillin for an abcess in his foot. I had my daughter hold him, eyeballed the spot I want to hit, and closed my eyes (really stupid, I know), and jabbed:). So funny the horse just turned and looked at me like what the hell are you doing. I think I was hyperventilating:).
I'm a bit more proficent at it now. I keep my eyes open:)
