Ah yes sorry. He is about 5-6 cm in length and 2.5 -3 cm in depth. He is about 2 years old. I did take him to the vet and he gave me the calcium glucanate in NS. I am to give it to him every other day then follow up. He is not eating but I put food in front of him with calcium sprinkled on it. So you think it will be ok to stick the whole needle into the outer edge of his abdomenal cavity?? How does it not puncture an organ? He is very sick. I keep a close eye on him. If I can I will get him some direct sun light outsite to help with Vit D. Thanks Jen
