Injection struggles.
Willow bit me three times during her injection tonight. Didn't break the skin. She could hurt me if she really wanted to.
I had her pinned and was sighing and collecting myself and Preston said, "I'm sorry. I know it stresses you out. You just gotta remember that it's just her animal reactions to things."
I said, "I know, but it's like the thing with the crazy guy today - I know it's not about me and I shouldn't get upset over it, but I have animal reactions to it, too."
...
We got through it and I dosed her heavily with catnip afterward in the hopes of establishing a reward system that might help curb this violent behavior she's developing toward injections. It's great that she feels better but it's harder to control a healthy cat, heh.
