If anyone intends to inject around the eye, they should get some direction. I have always thought that LA200 or 300 must be somewhat unpleasant -maybe it burns or stings because when I use it - I inject in the loose skin behind the front leg - they don't seem to like it. Injecting it around the eye would concern me. I guess that is why the above posts are suggesting other drugs.
You should be injecting tetracyclines into the muscle in the neck.
Gcreekranch: LA200 and LA300 is Oxytetracycline Dihydrate. It can be given IM or SQ. Yes. BQA and the instructions say the neck but I prefer the loose skin right behind the lower part of the shoulder. The volume is one of the draw backs to the tetracyclines. The area behind the lower shoulder gives a little more room.
