Mike, do you have a top-load carrier? That might help keep Scone confined while giving you access to his back area. I used a cage/kennel that I could makesmall enough for Luna to fit and confine her. It usually went better because I had one hand to control the needle and one hand to keep her calm. I think Amy27 came across a vet tech in training who helped her give the sub-q's to Chase.
I don't know what else to suggest unless you have a nurse or a close friend nearby to help with the proceedure. It is very important for you to get the full amounts in because you don't want his kidneys to shut down.Ijust wonder if adrip-bag would be better than a push. Wish I was there to help....

If you can set him in a box or carrier with the top off it might make it easier. Good luck!!
