Dear Kathy: I know it seems drastic when the vet uses the vein in the neck. I will never forget when I took my first FeLV+ kitten (didn't know yet she was positive) to the vet when she suddenly presented symptoms. They had to stick Purrsia three times in the neck before they could get a blood

My guess would have been that he/she drew blood from the neck, otherwise it wouldn't have been shaved; and gave your husband some clavamox (needs refrigeration; clindamycin doesn't). Clavamox is so commonly given. And I usually give B-12 shots under the skin at the back of the neck, sort of.

Well, Killian defineltly had a needle on the right side of her throat BUT it could very well be that she had blood drawn from that area because I know that she had bloodwork done.  The area is shaved!  I will have to ask my husband when he gets home if she had her Vitamin B shot there or blood draw
