It squirted on the ground ... He didn't literally stab the ground.

And no he didn't skewer the poor goat. If he was that bad at giving shots we would have some serious issues. And perhaps I would find someone else to give my goats shots. Lol

I've done the same thing! Squirted right out of the other side of the tented skin and on to the ground. Grrrrr!

Laughing at all the replies!

Noooooo you can give the ground a CDT without a huge needle sticking through the goat!!!!

@Baymule that poor rabbit

I have given thousands of shots and it still happens.
The worst is when you have 20 CD & T's to give.
You draw up 20 syringes.
You are so proud of yourself for being so organized.
You think to yourself, Oh yeah... this is gonna be great, we will get this done asap assembly line.

Then just like that
POOF
That bubble is so burst!

You shot shot one right through... and 5 goats later you do the same thing... dang goats...

So you trudge all the way back up to the house to get two more stinkin' CD & T's but now the goat knows what's up and you realize oh well that one doesn't REALLY need hers today anyway.

The OCD part of me is like... But I said we were going to do it all today! I'm going to get more! My husband looks at me and tells me I'm nuts.

Life is too short to sweat the small stuff.
Trust me on that one! I am living proof that OCD can be overcome.
Sometimes I miss it though.
But there is more freedom without it!

Yes being a slightly OCD person married to a very ADD person... If we don't do now who knows when we'll get to it? Lol but I am trying to chill out!

Reminds me of Baxter Black's Jose and the hoodoo cow's shots.

 

[Bruce]

Ah yes, Baxter Black, the poet cowboy veterinarian!

I completely understand SQ vs IM shots but have to admit when you said DH gave the ground a CD&T shot I pictured a long needle sticking out the opposite side of a chest from the syringe...

Me too!!!! That is why I asked. Sounds like the ground got a topical, not SQ, vaccine.

I haven't seen Baxter Black in years. Thanks for that.
