I had to give an iv injection last week and the horse has a knot on his neck. I'm trying to reach my vet but has anyone had experience with this??
IV or IM or SubQ
IV = In Vein
IM = In Mussle
SubQ = under the skin
I've never heard of an IV Injection - IV is usually a Bottle/tubing/nettle and takes some experance to set
I have seen IM Injections at swell - Did you draw back on the nettle to see that you were not in a Blood Vessle
Was you needle clean?
It should go away in time, by it's self.
The new outlook is to give all shots IM and SubQ - - SubQ and rub them in to spred out meds - No marks in the Meat or Infections
I have been giving SubQ only shots for years - and they work just as well be take a little longer to work but do work
