Thank you for this. My dog was diagnosed Wednesday (Jan 17, 2024) with diabetes and this is a whole new thing for us.
March 21st 2024 for my pups. How’s your pup handling his new life?
March 26th 2024 for my baby. This diagnosis can be so scary, sending you both good vibes 🤗
Thanks for the reminder to make sure your dog eats & keeps the food down before giving insulin!
My dog is at the vet tonight. She has just been diagnosed with diabetes. I been a nurse for years, I just had to see you do it tho. Dogs aren’t the same as people.
My sweet Sophie was diagnosed with diabetes today, 4/19/24. How to give the shot was demonstrated but I will give my first injection tomorrow. I’m so scared. So much information to process and I’m devastated for her.😭

Hopefully you guys are adjusting to this new way of life.❤ It’s definitely an adventure. Still trying to get ours regulated. Wishing you a positive outcome and thinking it will become less stressful soon.
Helpful and insightful as always. Thanks again for uploading these!
What an amazing patient
My dog was diagnosed with diabetes (28FEB24); thank you for this.

Thank you so much for these recent videos. I'm getting back into vet tech after 3 years break and it has been so helpful.
Good luck on your return ! Those fur babies need you!
I am having a nightmare every day usually twice a day giving insulin to my small dog . It breaks my heart and shes started to squeal as Im wound up to the last now . Im thinking of freezing the area on her back with frozen peas .......for a few minutes before I give her her shot , Is this a good idea toreduce her pain ?
@@gramack4740 you can always ask your vet for advice. In my experience the animals don’t usually react much to getting an injection with an insulin syringe. Maybe go over your technique with your vet to make sure you’re doing it right?
thanks for this - but the tent hides the needle, can't see what's going on - could you do another one with the needle on the camera side? I assume the injection was behind the tent?
The injection is within the tent space. The video really doesn't show the most important part of where the needle goes.
Such a good boy ❤️🐾❤️
I wasn't able to see how you put it in. The fur was covering it.
I've been giving insulin to my dog for about 1 month now. But there's been a few times that when i give her the shot the insulin seems to be ending up on her fur. I'm not sure if I'm getting the syringe in crooked and it's poking out of her skin somehow? This is frustrating because I know she's not getting her full dose of insulin.
Any suggestions on giving a reluctant dog insulin, who is smarter than you?
That’s my problem. My 13 year old is a the vet and he says she won’t eat. She also has pancreatitis. Never been sick before. For snout two weeks she turns her nose up at most good. I hope we learn fast. I, myself, have been diabetic for 40 years.
What a good boy.
That is one good doggie!
Is there another way to give insulin other than shots?? My dog is really afraid of it
Thanks ❤️
Wish you showed exactly where you injected it.
Thanks for the demonstration. What the best insulin for small dog between Caninsulin 40U/Ml and Lantus 100U/Ml ?
My dog screams like she's dying when she gets her injection.. It's really nerve racking..
Our older dog has only been diagnosed for a couple months but it's been more and more difficult to do it each time. My parents will be out of town for over a week, making me the only one available to do it and I'm super wrecked about it too
I just started doing this for my gmas dog and she cries like she is dying and its making me really not wanna do it anymore
@@jacobshanholtzer5532 I know it was 2 months ago but I hope a vet was able to help. Did you call the vets?
@@seanraines5871 thank you! Yeah the dog n I got a routine down now and I was actually taught how to do it thank you! Much better now
My dog whimpers too. What I do is to give it a shot when it's eating. My dog knows it's coming and flinches badly when I poke him but he will still stay close enough to eat his food. My dog doesn't have a lot of loose skin and it's very thin, which makes it difficult.
It never gets easier. I’m the only one who will give her the shot and it kills me. Sometimes it’s like she doesn’t notice, other times…she notices. Wish was a better way.
I’m the same way, my moms dog has gotten shots for years and I can’t even watch her do it. I absolutely cringe doing it.
Same here..
very good!!!!!!!
Any suggestions for if our older dog who has only been diagnosed and receiving shots a couple of months doesn't have a lot of loose skin like that between her shoulder blades like she did beforehand? My mom has found it increasingly difficult to give her her shots and I will be the one to do it when they go on vacation next week
Gurl I am in that situation right now my elderly bischon frise she ain’t got no fat on her back she never eats her food the needle is so long it doesn’t seem right on her tiny body😢
I ain’t got no advice just don’t freak out and usually I just put it in and hope for best😂
dang that dog is much calmer than a vicious cat.
Thank u ❤
lol, absolutely not visible. I see the tech holding tented skin, then a needle. I don’t see the needle go in - can’t see if it’s going into the “tent” part, or closer to the frame of the dog, or what. Can’t see any of this because the action is behind the tented skin - but the camera is in front.
Izibelle my female black lab has to be sedated almost every time she goes to the vet.
What about giving them to dogs that bite?
I wish the camera was showing the needle going in
Why not do a top view of this and a closeup? I can’t see anything🤦♀️☹️
I have to put a cone on my dog so she can’t whip her head around.
Need a video with a dog that is not ok with the process!
Wesley knows what is about to start.
That dog was definitely not stoked lol
Neither was mine making me wonder if I even did it right
Dog breed? My family dog looks just like this and behavior is very similar.
Not very helpful. Need a closeup of the injection site. This video one cannot see where the needle is going. All I see is a big clump of fur and not where in the fold the needle is going.
I've always heard that you're not supposed to give insulin in the scruff of the neck because scar tissue builds up easily there and slows the absorption of insulin...
You can vary the location; try giving it up to 4 or 5 inches to either side of the center of the scruff, to slow down scar formation.
Where should you be giving it then? I'm genuinely curious for my dog
My dog bite me. He is aggressive. It's frustrating. Even I gave him something to lick or bone he knows. He knows the time. After meal he knows after half an hr. insulin time. He growls and open his mouth with his teeth.
my vet tells me to do it on the sides so the insulin works better
I HATE my vet for not telling me a thing about testing. Lucky for me, my mom has been diabetic most of my life. His dose was apparently off too but they wouldn’t tell us a thing after all of his recent tests till they could get us on the phone to try and sell us something. Despicable.
I have never given shots before, I was taught by a client I work with. I wonder how much I’ve been doing that’s dangerous😰 (i gave shots for 2 days, I wanted to learn other areas where I could give the shot.) I haven’t been pulling the skin, they just said find a fatty area- on this old dog who has more bones than fat atm, don’t worry not from not having food, and uhh to just stick it straight in and inject. If the dog whimpers when other times they don’t, does that mean I’ve hit a something I shouldn’t inject into? If I haven’t been drawing to test for blood, is that deadly?
Is it possible to reverse diabetes in dogs the way it is possible to reverse diabetes in humans with dietary changes??
Not type 1, unfortunately.
@@rhythmisadancer8394 😥 my dog got it
@@seanraines5871 that's ok. It sounds more daunting than it really is. And your dog can still live a full and healthy life being a diabetic. I give my dog 16units twice a day, and when I first started giving his injections, I was so anxious. I hated giving him his needles, but its been months now and it does get easier. My dog is at his healthiest weight now too. I wish you and your furbaby all the best ❤
@@rhythmisadancer8394 thanks for the positive message, I just found out my dog has diabetes and I am a little nervous about everything
@@kylefowler5082 sorry for the late reply, I only just saw this message. How are you and your dog going now? Sounds like you're in the very early stages of diagnosis. It really does get easier. Please let me know how you're coming along?
Where is the dogs mask😂
Not specific enough for someone who has never given a shot.
Here's why. She freaks our when she gets her shots
Hello hello friend good night I am technician man India it is very good and the country ok do what do you want me
you used a calm well-bahaved dog. This video is worthless for those of us who have hyper, nervous, fidgety dogs that won't stay still long enough to even grab their skin let alone stick a needle in them and pull out to check for blood before calming pushing it in.
Why are you wearing a mask?
A cloth bacterial growth plate
Imagine getting triggered by a fucking mask
Why the mask? Onto the next video ....
Good riddance
Imagine getting triggered by a fucking mask
That's all very well if your dog sits still.
Omg… I’m
So nervous to poke my dog with a sharp thing tomorrow….😳🥲
