SubQ- CS injections are VERY painful for the animal....takes  4 hands (and
towel for mummying) to do a 3-4 pound kitten.>>

Connie,
Why do you think that CS is any more/less painful than a regular injection... 
maybe its was just the act of injecting the kitten?  Wouldn't it be like 
injecting water? The needle size makes a big difference.  At the vets, they 
use a very large needle for sub-q so the process is quick.  When I use a 
smaller size needle for sub-q, it takes longer but is better tolerated by the 
cat.
Its funny though, when my cats are treated at the vets,  they sit very 
still... bring them home and try it, thats another story.
