My dog got a shot from the vet with air bubbles. Is it safe?

The small amount of air should not pose risk of injury or embolism. If it went subcutaneously, it will eventually be absorbed. Even if it it went intravenously, there would not be serious risk of embolism. It would take significantly more air to result in a dangerous embolism.

That shouldn't hurt anything at all - in fact, 400 mL is within the range that I would normally give to a 30 pound dog at one time if needed :) She should urinate out any excess fluid without a problem. Just check to make sure that it's all (or mostly) been absorbed before you give her next scheduled dose of fluids, since it can be uncomfortable for her to have large amounts of fluid just sitting under her skin for long periods of time - if you need to, you can delay it by a few hours until the "bubble" is mostly gone.

You are right that this practice is not sanitary and is definitely not standard. Luckily the risk is not big, but it's possible that the contaminated needle can cause a deep infection. Signs of an infection are redness, swelling and fluid/pus discharge from the area. It's definitely less of a concern since he is on antibiotics, so I wouldn't be too worried. It's best to just monitor the injection site for the next two weeks. If you happen to notice any signs of infection, then it would be best to take him back to the vet for treatment. I hope that helps and all is well with Otis.

Try not to worry, but I would make Buttecup an appointment at the vet. The lesion could be an infection and they can treat it, or if it is a lump they can test it to see what it is. If you want to wait a while you could try salt bathing it then if it's not improving attend the vet.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Buddy. It sound like he recieved subcutaneous fluids. These are fluids given under the skin to help rehydrate a dog. Gravity can pull the fluids to different areas. They can shift after he has been laying down or sleeping as well. They should absorb naturally over the next 24 hours. If Buddy is acting normal, then you shouldn't have to worry. I hope this information helps!

This is definitely more blood than i would expect from an intramuscular injection but this can happen, as long as you did not see an adverse reaction right after the injection Abby should be absolutely fine. the reason some injections are not to be given to the vein directly is because a bad reaction can happen if the drug enters the blood circulation too quickly, this is usually categorized as an acute allergic reaction or anaphylactic shock, this however happens within minutes of the injection, not later.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Bubbles. I recommend that she sees a veterinarian right away if she is showing signs of parvovirus infection. She will need to be examined and her stool tested for the virus. If she is negative, then vaccination can be discussed. It will depend on if her veterinarian finds her healthy enough to receive it. I hope this information helps!
