If your veterinarian has prescribed shots for your kitten, you do not need to visit an animal clinic every day. You can treat yourself at home. To do this, follow these instructions.
Instructions
Step 1
If you have the skills to inject people, then giving a kitten an injection will also be very easy for you. First of all, prepare well - check with the specialists for the necessary nuances. For example, you should definitely find out at what point it is better to give an injection so as not to hurt a vein or a pet's nerve. The first procedure can be carried out in the clinic to see with your own eyes how to correctly administer the injection.
Step 2
Get a disposable syringe, preferably an insulin syringe. The needle that comes with it is quite thin and small. It is easy to use and will not cause severe pain to the kitten.
Step 3
Rinse your hands thoroughly and draw the drug into the syringe. Then sprinkle a few drops to release any trapped air in the needle.
Step 4
Before giving the injection, treat the kitten with what he loves the most. This will make your pet calmer.
Step 5
You can give a kitten an injection in two ways - subcutaneously and intramuscularly. In the first case, grab the pet's skin on the back of the neck so that a fold forms. It should be injected. When doing this, keep the syringe parallel to the animal's spine and make sure that the tip of the needle does not come out on the other side.
Step 6
The second way is a little more complicated. Lay the kitten on its side with its paws in your direction. Now fix the front legs with your left hand and the hind legs with your right, leaving your palm free. Take the syringe and gently insert the needle into your thigh to a depth of about one and a half centimeters. The injection should be done at the point where there are more muscles.
Step 7
It is likely that during the procedure, the kitten will start to get nervous, meow loudly or break free. You can say sweet words to him so that he picks up your calm intonations.
Step 8
After you've managed to give your kitten a shot, pet him.
