  Vet C. asked:

  Question from Dallas, one of our members: "After working as a technician for 14 yrs I have never had a problem placing iv catheters. Today I had a 10 yr old American Bulldog who had amazing cephalic vein options however every iv catheter I attempted "burred" or bunched up accordion folded on my stylet needle. Of course everyone(including my doctor) had this same challenge with this patient. Has anyone else had this type trouble or have any recommendations other than pre-hole placement with an 18g needle through the skin(would not have worked with this patient)? Used surflo ivc. THANKS IN ADVANCE!"
