New member looking for advice

[jesse girl]

I gave jesses shot may 6 inches up from the base of the tail on either side of the spine ( of course you want to avoid the spinal area ) . It was kind of like where her love handles were so to speak . So I believe I was injecting into a more fatty area . I guess you could se discrepancies depending on location and how the shot is given but i did not see any substantial difference in blood sugar levels giving jesse shots in these locations

You can inject in many different areas. We started with the scruff but it built up scar tissue quickly. So we moved to the side of the chest just behind the front shoulder and that didn't develop the same type of scar tissue.

Thanks for the advice! Injecting into a fatty area is something I’ve heard a few times now, I wonder if that’s it. Bella is completely lean (basically all meat no carb diet?) so I’ll try to find a the fattiest spot of the suggested locations.
