[Music] Hi, my name is Kristen. I'm a technician here at Union Lake Veterinary Hospital, and this is my cat Cruz. And today, I'm going to show you guys how to give insulin injections. The things you're going to need are going to be your bottle of

insulin that's prescribed by your veterinarian and the appropriate insulin syringe. If it's a U-100 insulin, you're using a U-100 syringe. If it's a U-40 insulin, you're using a U-40 syringe. So, your insulin will be kept in the fridge, so

take it out of the fridge when you're ready to use it to mix it. We never want to shake the insulin; we want to roll it gently between our hands, kind of just roll it like that. We're then going to take our syringe, take the cap off, and insert

it into the bottle here. We're going to draw back past the number of units that you want. So, if I wanted five, I'm going to pull back past the five and then push it back up so that we don't get any air bubbles in our

syringe. And then we'll take that out, and that's what we're going to give for the injection. The next step is going to be to kind of give the injection in the area by the shoulder blades here. So, we kind of want to rotate where we give the

injection every time. So, kind of think about it as a face of a clock. So, give one injection at one; the next one you know could be at two, three, four, five. Just kind of rotating around that area where you give it. You're going to give them once or twice a day.

we don't want to cause any scar tissue so we're going to kind of tent the skin by the shoulder blades here we're going to then make a little pocket and just insert our needle and then push the plunger in to inject the insulin you

want to make sure your pet has a full meal prior to giving the insulin injection if your pet does not eat its full meal make sure you give your veterinarian a call so they can advise you on what to do with the dose of

insulin if you have any questions or concerns don't hesitate to give us a call thank you guys for watching and we'll see you next time
