Poor Zoey got her Addisons shot this evening.
This use to happen every 25 days, but her Vet wanted to stretch it out a day longer every cycle to end up every 30 days.
So new she has to get the next one on the 3rd of Jan.
It is a painfull shot that has to be done in the muscle of her hip, it is a large needle with thick medicine that has to go deep into the muscle.
It makes me sad having to stick that needle into her, but she needs the meds and is doing so well on them.
I know it hurts her as she squirms and moves when I give it to her so I have to have my son or wifehold her head and put some weight onher body to keep her from moving.
I can tell she is sad, but she never holds it against me.
When we were all done she reached back and licked my hand.
