Hoegger Goat Supply: How to Give an Injection

HOW TO GIVE AN INJECTION

Injection Sites A Sub Q injection is given by pulling up a little pinch of skin to make a "tent." Using a 1/2" needle (so you don't go in one side of the tent and out the other) go into the side of the tent and inject the medication/vaccine.

An IM injection is given directly into the large muscle in the lower hip (primary) or shoulder (secondary). I use a 1/2 inch needle for IM as well as Sub Q. To insure that I am not in a blood vessel, I pull back the plunger a little and look for blood in the syringe. If you see blood, try another site.
