[QUOTE="msscamp, post: 424329, member: 539"] The benefit of the drug is dependent on the absorbtion capacity, and that is dependent on the method of delivery - subQ vs IM vs IV. To give a drug IM that should be given subQ will, if I remember my vet tech days, slow down the absorbtion and could cause some significant problems as the drug will be slower to deliver. To give a drug subQ that should be given IM would speed up the absorbtion process and could cause a decrease in effectiveness, as well as an overload of that drug. So - to answer your question, yes, it could hurt the animal. If a drug that should be given IM is given IV it could very well kill the animal - and the opposite is true, as well. Always, always read the label and administer the drug accordingly. [/QUOTE]
