Injection for a tortoise

I am not a medic in National Service, and I am not trained medically, so never in my life I need to administer an injection to any living thing. This time, we have to give the tortoise some anti-biotics to help heal the wound in the crack in the shell.

 

The vet showed me that I had to look for the buttocks and prick the needle inside. It still feels weird pricking the needle into a living animal.
