[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 670471, member: 852"] I stick the calf and depress the plunger in one movement... oftentimes I find if I take the time to pull back to check for blood, I run the risk of injury (to me!) or the needle coming out, or detaching from the syringe, etc. Haven't ever had a problem -- I do carry epinephrine though. *knock on wood* But then, frequently when I'm giving something to the animal it's not in a chute, so I have a time limit. I try to go SQ with most injectable liquids though, I prefer not to do IM if it's not necessary. Almost everything either can go SQ or is labeled for only SQ. [/QUOTE]
