Tanya, I find that using a tube and bag of fluids easier than a syringe, as you can follow the fuzzies movements without moving the needle under the skin too much. I find that a weel placed distraction i.e. ferretone in front of the ferret while you "sneak" the needle in is very helpful. I wish you all luck, this is not easy!! -Dr. Karen [log in to unmask] "The doctor is in." [Posted in FML issue 1425]
