Can anyone give me instructions on how to administer puppy shots2007-11-25 2:58:50

The Vet charges too much so I figured I could do it myself with some instruction.

Answers:

no problem; i used to do this for all my animals.

typically these shots are meant NOT to go into the blood supply. get a hold of a bit of skin near the hind end and insert the needle. draw back on the plunger to cause some vacuum and ensure you are not drawing blood. if you are getting blood try another spot. i used to get my supplies from the drug store in a farming community. city stores won't carry them.shots for 6-7 dogs typically cost me about $35 for 3 sets of shots. parvo distemper rabies

No, take the dog to your vet. You wanted a dog, now you have the responsibility of the vet bills. Besides, you would still need the medication to give the dog, and they don't just hand that stuff out at the local department store.

ok i had a dobie puppy who hated shots so what i did was give it some meat in a bowl while it was eating i stuck the needle in the neck and injected the shot the pup didnt even care just kept on eating

First where do you plan to get the meds. Second unless you are trained to evaluate the dogs health like heart rhythm, you can give shots to a sick dogs which can cause harm. Please see a vet, there are low cost places.

get a big pinch of skin at the back of the neck, and go into that.

DO NOT GIVE SHOTS YOURSELF. ALWAYS HAVE A LICNESED VETERINARIAN ADMINISTER THEM.
