Making injections fun!

[SandyL]

My husband posted a vidio on youtube showing how much Tiggy likes her injections. It sure does help that she knows she'll get her favorite treat of duck jerky afterwards

OMG..how incredibly cute she is! Love how she "sits pretty" when she runs over!

My Bella is VERY foodcentric and because I give her a liver treat after she is ALL over me to get her injection.

I keep the insulin vials in a lock and lock Rubbermaid container. The minute Bella hears the sides of the container flip open she bolts off her usual spot on the couch and comes tearing over and does her dance!

Gotta love it when they make it easy for you!

When I'd inject Kumbi, Kwali would HAVE to have her injections, too! Of course, they were fake - that is, empty syringe, and no actual needle-stick - but I went through the motions, anyway. It's illustrated in the pages in my signature.

I'm on dial-up, so watching videos takes forever, but I think I'll try to watch the one you mention, Sandy!

Ah, what a GREAT video and a couple of incredibly beautiful dogs!

As I've mentioned before, some folks have had their other dogs get jealous of all the attention at shot time so their nondiabetic dogs got a pretend shot and a treat too so they could be part of the fun!

Re: Making injections fun!

Before Sydney became diabetic (and it was just Soaphie getting shots) she would stand there and prance around on her back feet, snorting and huffing and basically telling me "HURRY UP - WE WANT THAT TOMATO YOU GIVE US WHEN YOU ARE DONE WITH THE SHOT!!!"

Dogs are hilarious....

Re: Making injections fun!

I just love it that our other baby gets so excited that Tiggy is getting a shot!
Sometimes she'll push Tiggy aside when I'm rolling the bottle (they hear it click against my rings and come running) as if to say "I'm first for the treat!"

Re: Making injections fun!

Took me an hour to download your video, Sandy, and that was VERY much worth doing! I watched it four times, and if it weren't so late - hours past my bedtime, I'd watch it again!

Your handling is just superb. The taping is great, too!

WHAT A JOY - lovely to go to bed with your video running through my head!

Good night, all! THANKS for the joy!
