💉Where does your vet take blood from? 💉
Ever wondered why your vet sometimes holds your furkid’s neck, front leg, or back leg when taking blood? 👀
These are the common areas where vets access veins for blood collection and sometimes IV catheter placement!
So why does your vet choose one vein over another? 🤔
It depends on your furkid’s size, temperament, the amount of the blood needed, the condition of the veins (whether it’s collapsed in a very dehydrated patient), and the purpose of the procedure.
Next time you see your vet reaching for the neck or the leg, can you name the vein they are aiming for ?🤨
