Gently mix the insulin by inverting the bottle 3-4 times. |
Fill the syringe slightly past the recommended dose. |
Remove any small air bubbles by tapping the syringe with your finger. |
Depress the plunger up to the correct dose of insulin for your cat. |
Draw the loose skin on the cat's side gently upwards. |
Make a small hollow with your index finger. |
Place the needle in the hollow and push it gently through the skin. After inserting the needle, release the skin and depress the plunger slowly. |
Your veterinary surgeon may recommend an injection site other than the loose skin on the cat's side. The choice depends on your veterinary surgeon's preference and what suits you and your pet. |
