[QUOTE="jgn, post: 64167, member: 128"] First pick the site. Most IM shots are now given in the neck and not the hip. Insert the needle quickly and pull the plunger back just a little, if the syringe starts to fill with blood you've inserted it in a vein and need to remove it and insert it into a different site, if no blood go ahead and apply firm pressure to inject medicine. How easy it is to push will depend on the consistency of the drug you are pushing, some are easy some are not. Would advise having the cow or calve fairly secure to avoid them from moving around much and taking a chance on breaking the needle off. Also make sure you have a new needle as it will make it easier on you and the cattle. Last thing I can think of is do not administer more than 10cc's into one site. [/QUOTE]
