Kyle Right now, I'm running into a stubborn vet. I'm sorry to be blunt Kyle, but I think you're going to have to find yourself another vet. Look for a veterinary hospital with an internist on staff, or at least on call. Writing a letter or applying to the FDA on your own won't do you any good.

Also, my vet said to wipe the vial top with alcohol before each injection into the vial. Michelle R. sent me home with another sterilizing agent to wipe after the alcohol as well. I can't remember what it's called, I think it begins with an M (the wording has run off the plastic bag), I'll
