Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / May 2005Shamrock's first allergy shot
I received the serums today. He just got his first shot and he'll get one every other day for the first 25 days for the build-up period, then it goes to once a week with the maintenance serum. He's pretty used to injections since he's had to have regular depo shots to keep the allergy reactions down. He did ok with me giving the shot. I've been building him up to this for the last two weeks by massaging his back and "pulling a tent" to get him used to having me do this. He barely noticed the injection. The insert says that some cats find relief with hyposensitization injections anywhere between 3-6 months. With some cats it could take a year.

Best of luck for a successful outcome. Candace > I received the serums today.

I have to say I was nervous. I've done a few injections before, but it was with Shadow and he fought me whenever I tried to "pull a tent" because he knew what was coming. It was just awful. :( SignatureCheryl "The clever cat eats cheese and breathes down rat holes with baited breath." - W.C. Fields > I received the serums today.

After awhile, you will be doing them on the run. ;) -L. >> The insert says that some cats find relief with hyposensitization > injections anywhere between 3-6 months.
