This community helped me so much when "Dr. Gonzo" decided to swallow some rubber and needed surgery so I'm coming to you again for some advice. By the way, Dr. Gonzo is doing well but still has a craving for rubber so no flip flops are allowed in the house.
My question is about our other cat, Hunter. He's diabetic and I give him insulin shots twice a day. This has been going on for 4 years. The shots are applied behind the neck and I move the location around, not always in the same spot. For the most part I do the shots while he's eating and he doesn't even react. But lately, I noticed it's harder to put the needle in through his fur. It feels like it's tougher skin. Could it be scar tissue from all those shots? Should I just keep at it? Occasionally, he will react where he didn't before. I hate to hurt him.
Any advice from other who have been through this before?
Thanks
