How to give a subcutaneous shot

Subcutaneous means "under the skin". To give a sub-cue shot, tent the skin before administering the shot.  Find a loose area of skin and hold it up while you inject the meds into the base of the tent — this will ensure you are going in the correct spot. Sometimes you'll get a bubble at the injection site. This is no big deal, and they should go away once the medication is absorbed.
