This drives me INSANE. I've been trying to watch the dosages kids get but couldnt find anything. I saw some vids of newborns getting the shot which is nuts anyway but it looked like the same as vids I saw adults getting.
I also noted that some vax needs diluted but I have never seen someone dilute it before the syringe is filled.
And I have not seen anyone giving the shot aspirate it before plunging. You do this to be sure youre not in a vein or artery but into muscle. If injections into a blood vessel maybe thats why the clotting. I would never get a shot from anyone but a licensed nurse. With all this I would never get a shot from anyone for any reason any more.
There generally isn't insurance to cover animal illness so it seems like there's more incentive to strike at the root of the problem.
There are veterinarians who will milk animal owners dry and there are drug sales representatives who get their hooks in veterinarians but generally veterinary medicine in practiced differently because big pharma and insurance aren't as prevalent.

Even aspirin dosage is according to weight in children: https://www.childrensmedgroup.com/for-parents/dosage-chart/

Lmao, nurses rarely aspirate either. Sure if you got a seasoned one.
They have recently changed the IM/SC injection procedure and do not require aspiration prior to injecting vaccine or medication. I was shocked.
They changed the literal definitions of a vaccine, fascist, white, right-wing, racist, people of colour etc. This shouldn't shock you.
I was a veterinary technician in the US Army and we were taught to aspirate every. single. time. And we did.
I will tell you that veterinarians are overall more competent than your average fp/Im doc.
I think you're right.
