That looks as if it is draining onto and causing the sheath to swell??
Not nice at all, obviously a "home " job!!
Anyway, you have to deal with what you have and I would advise actually "gliding" him all over again, I thin it would be the most humane thing to do, do put him out and cut away everything that should not be there.
As to the injections, do not tie him up tight, tie him loose and let someone distract him with food or treats.
Take the needle off the syringe.
Pat his neck and do nothing.
If he does not like his neck being patted just rub and fuss.
Hold the needle between your finger so that the head is on the palm side, needle facing out.
Whack it in as gently as you can but make sure it does go in then step back and wait for him to calm down.
Once he has, go on getting him distracted but this time hold his head a little tighter, then reattach the syringe and pull back to make sure there is no air in the syringe and you are not in a vein, then give the injection.
Do not push too hard to fast as if he does object you could lose the lot!!!
This is hard, I know, but it is not your fault and you are doing your very best so, PLEASE do not feel too bad about it!!. :Cheek Kiss
