Damn...where's the skin?  heh.

I can't get no skin to show when parting hair.

Do any coon cat owners end up dosing twice?

Any help appreciated.

Since I buy in bulk and meter the doses myself for various amounts
based on the cats' weights, I use a syringe - I have a short large
bore needle with a squared off end (no point) (these are used for
certain very esoteric lab purporses, and maybe some medical ones that
I don't know about).  The needle easily parts the hair simply by
draging it through the fur like a single toothed comb.  I have no idea
where to buy those needles - I found that one in the floor sweeping of
a decomissioned atmospheric pollution research lab, and since it was
my lab, I know it came from somewhere else.  I have seen something
that looks like it could be modified to work: needles used for
injecting teat medicine into the opening in cow teats have two side
holes, one of which could be plugged, and a smooth rounded end that
could be pushed instead of pulled through the fur.

As coons are very large,  and adult dose is for cats up to a certain weight,
sometimes they must have adult and kitten dose at the same time.
Finding the skin is a good challenge!!
