[QUOTE="CattleAnnie, post: 143877, member: 220"] Be darn careful where you inject it (huge understatement) in your livestock! I lost three otherwise healthy calves on branding day a few years back due to one member of my ground crew not paying attention to where she was giving the shot. She gave it too close to the jugular vein on three of my calves, and within an hour of being injected, all three calves were dead - after laying prone and kicking at themselves for that period of time. Neither a pretty picture nor profitable outcome to what should have been an trouble-free and enjoyable day. If it's injected directly into the jugular vein the animal will drop dead (or so my vet informed me after I called him to try and figure out what went wrong with those calves). The only reason we inject them at all is because we live in a very selenium deficient soil area, as a preventative to White Muscle disease. Same as we vaccinate against Blackleg, a precautionary measure. Take care. [/QUOTE]
