Now the vet did tell you that the shots must go in the front legs I hope?
Never give them in the back legs because when you do that the medications basically go straight to the kidneys & out the body rather than distributing throughout the body.
I hate giving injections to reptiles, but you have to do it sometimes. It's painful for them so about all you can do is be decisive, make up your mind you are going to get it done with one poke then try to be quick with it.
Yes he did tell me to put the needle in the front legs, and alternate between the two legs. Also he said call him if I see any change (good or bad). He wants to know everything. He seemed very interested and concerned. When he gave the needle, she never moved, as she wasn't too active, when I gave it this morning, she pulled her little paw away. Also one eye is opened. I soaked her for about a half hour in warm water, and put the Vit. A ointment on her eyes. So far so good. Will keep you posted. Thank you all for the help and encouragement.
