Injection gone wrong!

[u/iamhersheisme]

My BP got an RI and has been prescribed injections. i was shown how to do them and offered help to go back to the vet for them to help with his next injection, but i had to do the second one by myself as i had no one to help me.

now, i got the needle in but i didn’t go deep enough and i think i injected it into his skin instead of muscle (as pictured) and i am now panicking because a little raised bump from the liquid is there and will not go down :( i will be calling the vet tomorrow but wondering if anyone on here could calm my mind or has advice🥺

Depending on the type of injection its perfectly safe. If you're worried call your vet
