I've been pretty sick lately Sunday I got out of bed only for a friend to give my horse 1 of the 2 shots she needed.
Today was the day to give her the second one, I've neveer really given a shot before. I've practised sticking them in there butt but never given on in the neck. But I've seen it MANY times, and since Im feeling betterish today I decided that I would go out and give it to her.
I was freaking out inside... Because I was scared I was going to hurt her more then I wanted or Kill her.
Well My lovely LBI Mare was with me today and slept as I stood there telling myself I could do it.. I stood there for probably half an hour :oops:
But finally I went for it but I pulled it out right away because I scared myself, she just kept standing there as I rubbed her.
I did it again and got half of the injection in and Im not sure what happend but I took it out again... :roll: SO I rubbed her again and I guess third times a charm cuz ther other half went in and she jumped a bit so I left it in for about 5 secounds untill she relaxed pulled it out and rubbed her and gave her some grain!
To know that I can give her a needle myself if I ever needed to makes me feel much better.
Just goes to show Prior and Proper preperation makes a big big difference!
ugh.. I love my horse to death! :mrgreen:
