Dogs can lie on their sides, lie on their backs, or stand in Baoding. A person can hold my elbow from the dog's back, which can pull up the skin and enlarge the vein. You can also tie it with a tourniquet to make the vein swell. The person giving the injection is in front of the dog, and the needle penetrates the vein from one third of the wrist joint. When it is determined that the needle is in the blood vessel, the blood will flow back to the needle connecting tube, and then the needle will be inserted along the venous tube to prevent the dog from slipping out of the blood vessel when shaking. Loosen the tourniquet or latex tube injection, and adjust the infusion speed. During intravenous infusion, the fixed needle can be wrapped with adhesive tape. When infusion, try to draw blood if necessary to see if the needle is still in the blood vessel. After the injection is completed, press the needle eye with a dry cotton ball, quickly pull out the needle and press it locally for a while to prevent bleeding.
