Nina,
I'm so sorry you're going through this right now, it's so hard. If you're worried about them finding a vein, you could request that they inject her parenterally, that's how my vet helped Ninja - no worried or stress about finding a vein and using an IV, just a shot.

I wanted your opinion about this. I wish I were braver. Funny, isn't
it, I always think of myself as strong and brave, but when it comes to
this... I just feel helpless and humble.
