Anyone stab themself while/after injecting a cat? I gave my cat subcutaneous B-12 today and gave myself a little poke putting the syringe cap back on. It's a tiny needle (insulin syringe), and the wound was about the size you give yourself if you have to check your blood sugar. I squeezed as much blood as possible out (a couple drops) to try to rinse out anything that got in.
Who else is a klutz with needles? Any infections I should worry about? My cat is on steroids (bowel problems) and one vet speculated that she might have toxo (because of her uneven sized pupils), but if she had that I'd probably already have caught it by now....
