    doc take a hair cutter and shave the inner thigh, then press the thigh from the top. the inner thigh must face you. that means head of the dog faces the right side, left side is on the table, shave the inner left thigh, femur region. next lift the right leg upwards, you'll get a free access to the vein, also use warm or hot water to raise the vein, remember when u use warm water the veins dialate and then its easier to use them.
    
    i'll try and make a video today and load it

    Swarupmay Majumdar I will probably think about sc fluids also. the puppy must be too small. Dude , dont forget Buscopan to stop loose motion in Parvo cases. It can help u a lot as ur need for drips will rreduce a lot. all the best

    Ajay Kesarwani Thrmbophobe oint over veins works.give sum fluid intra peritoneal.or try the vein on antero lateral border of metatarsal ,not frequently used site and hence may b intact.try vego instead of scalp vein set and once found ,bandage it for re use.
