My vet had the same problem with Stinker and at the same time I had
Stinker's brother getting the shots. The last time, I believe, one of them
freaked out, the needle went flying and the cat was in his box.:) He
finally just gave it SubQ from then on. After awhile, he suggested I do it
at home. My new vets also order it for me when I ask. Did you ask your vet
about doing it yourself? It might really help your Jake. I give Stinker it
twice a week when he isn't feeling well. I would be kind of persistent.
