[QUOTE="Bez>, post: 377961, member: 6007"] Good comment and accurate. I was taught by my veterinarian to insert a needle into the bottle, leave it there and use different syringes to draw that vaccine from the bottle - allowing me to run a bunch of needles in just a couple of minutes and not contaminate the bottle. I generally run about 5 needles ahead when we are working the chutes - that way the girls can keep up to me when we are sticking multiple needles into the herd. In other words using a 60 cc syringe to inject 5 ccs into animals I would hit 12 and re-load. During the reload I would remove the needle - toss it into the sharps container and attach the syringe to the needle loaded into the bottle - load up and go. Personally I would not pre-load a syringe the night before on some stuff - ie: reconstituted / and would not worry about other stuff - ie: LA200. In all honesty I have never considered this before - so I have to ask - why would you do this? The time saving would be very marginal at best. Just my thoughts. Bez> [/QUOTE]
