Don't forget to ask about home testing. You'll want vet monitoring for the first little while, but after that the convenience and price of home testing will be appealing.
It's a pain to get the drop from the ear -- I found warming the ear for a few minutes with a hot washcloth wrapped in a plastic bag helped a lot. Also a flashlight shined on the back of the ear can help you locate the vein that runs around the edge. You don't really want to hit the vein, you'll get a gusher then, you want to hit close to it to get the capillaries nearby.
Yes, although honey will also work. I used honey because we didn't have karo at the time of the first emergency and then didn't bother to lay in a supply, since honey had worked. Karo's supposed to be best, so if you haven't anything resembling it already, go ahead and get that. And good job on the first shot!
