Actually, my vet said something about it being injected just under
the skin... although didn't mention a buffer. And I agree, the risks of
a surface wound mean nothing when your fuzz is at death's door

She also said it hs an expiry date of several years, so it may be
worth buying to have on hand just in case. Especially for those of
us who have a lot of rats. :)
