I'm a little shocked about the vet saying you can use the needle three times. My vet gave me a bag of needles to last for one bag and when I went to get another bag they'd give me more needles. They even specifically told me with his epogen shot that the needle can only do two sticks - once into the vial and once into his skin.

I hope you made it through the night without Max at home. And I am also hoping to hear some good news when you pick him up this morning. I will be busy today, but will try to check in on this thread as often as possible.
