Clamp down on ear for at least 10 seconds (this will allow the vein to fill | ||
with blood) | ||
Warm a sock with rice in the microwave (test it first to ensure it is not | ||
too hot); then warm pet's ear with the rice sock - the heat will help induce blood flow | ||
Shave the hair on the ear if necessary | ||
If after one puncture to the vein no blood arises, simply "unclamp" the | ||
illumavein and massage vein until blood droplet forms from the puncture spot. This is called "milking" the ear | ||
