I was giving my cat her insulin injection through her scruff on the back of the neck. While I was injecting her, the needle went through her skin and poked my finger. Im not sure if I injected myself but it is possible. She takes a very small dose of Lantus insulin. Should I be concerned or is it no big deal?
Hi, Thanks for posting in Chat Doctor. I have read your description and understand your concern. Since it a small dose of insulin and you had an accidental prick, you need not worry as insulin is absorbed well by subcutaneous route. In any case, kindly take care of the prick site by washing with soap and water along with rinsing the area with antiseptic solution, so that it would not get infected. Hope the information provided would be helpful. All the best.
