Outta space. Trust me, sub-q is dirt easy, people over think it as they project their unease onto the animal. I do it, and IV when necessary, on all of our animals, we keep fluids, rigs and needles on-hand but then we’re out in the sticks (no pun intended) and the vet’s a long way out.
Dogs have tough skin and the puncture hurts us more than them. I warm up the fluid in the IV bag to make it more comfortable, I immerse itbin a stew pot of really warm water, take it out and knead it every few minutes, IV’s at room temp, area under animal’s skin’s over 100 degrees and it makes the bolus a bit more confortable. My vet rolls his eyes and says if he comes back he wants to be one of our animals in the next life. Don’t let the infusion lump that will be there bother you, the liquid takes a a while to absorb. We sit with the cat/dog/whatever and pat it, preventing it from getting up and wandering off, and giving us some bonding time. Works with dogs/cats better than horses/cows and as far as goats go…I recommend a goid Cuban cookbook.

I’ve watched them do it twice now, and she didn’t even make a sound when the needle went in today. The vet did warm the bag in water today, and things went just fine. The only thing was that all the liquid went to one side, so she was walking like a drunken sailor, and even fell over on the way back to the car. Other than that, all is fine.
LikeLiked by 2 people
Still outta space. It’s a piece of cake, really. There are membranes that attach the skin to the underlying muscles that will direct the water… Cat used to get half a liter at a time and sloshed as it walked. If the infusion gets bulky just remove/relocate the needle. It makes one and the dog feel better as you don’t feel as hopeless, you’re now an active part in your dog’s treatment.
LikeLiked by 2 people
I think that’s true. The vet tech was supposed to move the needle, but she didn’t want to give her another stick, and the liquid was flowing well.

I talk to the animal while I’m doing it, distracts the animal and hides my nervousness from us both. There are times when the needle will cause the animal to react but if you don’t make a big thing out of it and continue the process the animal gets over it…a lot quicker than you will. If you’re using the area around the shoulder blades, on top, the skin’s frequently a bit thicker and less sensitive. Good luck and enjoy the process of helping your friend heal.

Just want to share a video that has been passed around my circles for the past few days. It’s from Northpoint Community Church (Atlanta) which is led by Pastor Andy Stanley.
“Skin In The Game”
http://northpoint.org/messages/071016-message/
It was done right after the shootings in MN, LA and Dallas; you can tell that in the discussion they use some misinformation that was thought to have been ‘fact’ at the time. Regardless of that, it is a powerful discussion that I believe needs to happen all over the nation.
It dovetails into a comment I made next door to Joan Foster, who seems to live in the Charlotte area, regarding taking time over the weekend to repent for being so cold at these times. And Andy is correct when he said “The further I am away from a problem the easier it looks”. I know for me that came to be true with the events that unfolded here a week ago.

Community organizers are out whipping up the apathetic in public housing, ‘reminding’ them that if Trump wins their free ride will end, no longer will little Rat birds flutter overhead, dropping morsels of sustenance into their open mouthes. Push is on to get as many as possible to vote early, makes having organizers there to guide their little hands to check the correct boxes.
Hopes to have public housing residents vote for progress, rather than progressivism, are slight as generations of living in the Fed’s stockyards seem to have removed their abilities to think beyond the immediate reach of their outstretched hands. There were families in public housing on their 4th generation there when I worked it, and that was a a public housing generation ago.
Something we don’tnthink about is that the mentally disabled, right down to those mentally disabled who are too severely disabled to even perform the basic daily tasks required to survive, will be voting. Their attendants will be ‘assisting’ them to mark their ballots according to the disabled person’s ‘wishes’. Appears the attendants know them better than they know themselves.

I’ve known a few of these state-paid Attendants.
We have a guy who mops our FOH floor every morning at 0530.
He’s white, incapable of holding any sort of rational conversation, and I shake his hand and give him a smoke every time I see him, usually sitting with his back against a dumpster for many hours a day. About 6 years ago one of his better Attendants took him on a train ride, just for the experience. He talked about it for two years. Avidly.
His Attendants have always been either black or obese hillbilly, and none have lasted longer than a year. They get paid by the state, or the Fed, and they (except the aforementioned) never lift a finger to help or educate or enlighten the person they are in charge of. They spend the whole hour each morning on their phones, texting or playing Candy Crush Saga, while this guy mops our floor.
And yes, he will probably be “voting”, at his Attendant’s insistence.
I’m a bit cynical.

And then pick him up in the evening and bring him back to the group home. It’s a different Attendant every six months or so.

Uh, Hillary, Your Hubby Caused the 2008 Recession
By Jack Cashill
http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2016/09/uh_hillary_your_hubby_caused_the_2008_recession.html
… In fact, tax policies had almost nothing to do with the recession of 2008. What caused the market crash was the collapse of the subprime market. If that collapse had an architect-in-chief, his name was Bill Clinton. This is not a speculation. It is an easily documented fact.
When Bill Clinton was inaugurated in 1993, the homeownership rate was lower than it had been when Richard Nixon was inaugurated in 1969. Despite increasing prosperity, despite the growth in the condominium market, the numbers were declining.
The Clintons wanted to push those numbers up. If they had been inclined to look, the explanation for the decline was simple enough: the collapse of the two-parent family. From 1970 to 2000, single-parent households, disproportionately black, increased 60 percent. In that same period, married couples with their own children fell from 40 percent of all households to just 24 percent.
The Clintons and their media allies refused to acknowledge family breakdown as a problem — remember “Murphy Brown” — let alone as an explanation for the disparity in home-ownership rates. Their preferred explanation for just about everything unpleasant, then as now, was the inevitable racism. This they could and would freely impute to less enlightened Americans, “the deplorables” as they would come to be known…

Every song on this album is a work of genius.
Turn on the radio and hear Hotel California for the ten millionth time and scream:
WHY?
These people who control our media won’t let go of their golden years. So I have to hear that song every day of my life. I have to hear insipid Green Day and Offspring and absolute crap.
I have people at our restaurants who call me every spring and ask me to make them a good Pandora™ playlist for the customers and for the kitchen. They know people are just as sick as me of listening to the crap we’re spoon-fed for decades. And they know that I know good music.
Yeah, I wanna hear Rolling on a River every single day, followed inevitably by Dude Looks Like a Lady. For 40 damn years. Radio stations have made this life like a damn Twilight Zone episode.
I have yet to hear Joe Bonamassa on the raido.

One of the four performers on that stage plays a nyckelharpa.
Amazing instrument. It’s a violin with keys. Scandi as hell. An engineering masterpiece.
Expensive as hell, too.
Everyone on that stage is a musical genius. I think that has something to do with why more people know who Jay-Z and Beyonce are. (And no, I’m not going to go through the easy trouble to find out how to make Beyonce’s “e” correct with ALT-codes. Because screw her. She can call herself “La-a” for all I care.)

Boston had three albums, which were all the same, whose songs were all the same on each album. It was a money-making formula, true. So is whatever the heck Jay-Z does. Profitable doesn’t equal good. It just means the artist and the label fooled enough people into believing that popularity = good. Snoop Dogg is good, right? He must be! He has so much money!
The guys who made “Whoomp, there it is!” are still making $50k per year in royalties.
On one song.
Boston made three albums. Consisting of one song.
Intelligent? Yup. Musically incredible? I want to pull my own teeth out when I hear it.

For me, Boston represents my older sister, who loved their music and left this earth way too young. I hear them and I remember her. And Long Time was my classes’ senior song. When my daughter was a baby and wouldn’t sleep at night, her dad would hold her and dance to it until she fell asleep. That music is good memories for me, but everyone can have their own opinion.

Go ahead, Sand. Type “Rush” into Pandora.
See if you ever hear “Temple of Syrinx” or “The Necromancer”.
You won’t. You’ll hear the same four top Rush hits you’ve heard for the last 40 years. Tom Sawyer, Spirit of the Radio, Free Will, and, if you’re lucky and they play something really rare by this band that has 300 songs, you might hear The Trees.
Because Pandora is an alternative to Radio.

We’re sorta stuck with CDs though if I sit still I can listen to the multiple stations on DitrecTV. I use the music mostly to drown out life’s white-noise while I’m concentrating on something else, so I’m less likely to seek out new music that I have to ‘listen’ to rather than some music that’s already laid down tracks in my mind.

Breaking news: black cross-dressing male is serial-defecating on doorsteps in a yuppified New Orleans neighborhood. So far NOPD has found squat…
Also, in a middle-class NOLA neighborhood a man exited his backdoor and saw two men rummaging through his shed . He went inside, retrieved his personal and legally-owned firearm and went outside to confront the thieves. Both thugs exited the shed, one burglar ran and one burglar stopped and reached for his waistband ( according to the homeowner) – the homeowner fired and hit the burglar in the neck. No word from DA’s office of charges for the burglar who was caught but they are strongly looking at charges (aggravated battery to manslaughter if burglar dies) agaonst the homeowner.

Shooting in El Cajon, CA. Police responded to a black male ‘not acting normally’ walking in traffic. When they approached the man and demanded he remove his hands from his pockets he did, and immediately went into a shooting stance. Police shot, he paid for his actions and BLM clones are saying he was mentally ill and shouldn’t have been shot.

Angelo Codevilla thinks this Country is done. Regardless of who wins in Nov. While I know that a great number here would disagree, please take a few minutes to read through his article. Thought-provoking, and very sobering. Won’t make you feel very warm and fuzzy.
FTA – “The character of an eventual Trump Administration is unpredictable because speculating about Trump’s mind is futile. It is equally futile to guess how he might react to the mixture of flattery and threats sure to be leveled against him. The entire ruling class—Democrats and Republicans, the bulk of the bureaucracy, the judiciary, and the press—would do everything possible to thwart him;”

Good article, but I kinda wish I hadn’t read it at bedtime.
So many people think Trump is a magic pill. I don’t. He can only do what he can do with every idiot in government, from the senate to the cafeteria ladies trying to take him down. Not to mention that we are in deep, deep, doo.
America is never going to be what we older kids here remember as good, free, right, and invincible again. Can we keep her alive, give our kids something to salvage and build on? That question is worth more than the national debt.
And if there aren’t a lot of tough cookies out there to step into the breach while the mamas’ babies are whining in their safe spaces it won’t matter. Running a life, running a country, it takes guts and a willingness to get dirty and sacrifice. I’ve stopped seeing that in most people under thirty, and lots even older.

IIRC, there are over 2.4M folks working in the FedGov, let alone those in state and local. Most of the fed folks are part of the leviathan, unanswerable to all but their boss. Since it takes more than an act of Congress to get rid of one, there isn’t much he can do, unless he cuts off their money. And I doubt that will happen.
As for those following behind us, I don’t have much hope for them as a whole. While there are many outstanding, level-headed young’uns, they are way outnumbered by the snowflakes. I just hope that I don’t live long enough to see the whole thing slide into the abyss.
