Step-by-Step Guide to Mixing Pet Vaccines
Withdraw the Diluent
Start by taking the vial with the liquid diluent and turn it upside down. Use a sterile needle to pierce the vial.
Gently pull back the plunger to draw the diluent into the syringe.
Combine with the Vaccine Powder
Insert the needle into the vial containing the dry vaccine powder.
Push the plunger to inject all the diluent into the vial with the powder.
Mix Thoroughly
Remove the needle and gently shake the vial until the powder is completely dissolved and well-mixed with the diluent.
Prepare for Injection
Reinsert the needle into the vial to draw the mixed vaccine back into the syringe.
Lightly tap the syringe to remove any air bubbles, ensuring the vaccine is ready for administration.
By following these steps, you can ensure that the vaccine is properly prepared for your pet.
