[QUOTE="Double R Ranch, post: 617729, member: 411"] Tail veins are a cinch once you figure it out!! Truly the easiest in my opinion for blood draws. You don't have to tie the head or anything. Just remember to wipe the area your going to draw from. Last time I checked manure was a contaminant. ;-) I can't however imagine doing IV in a tail vein. It is very hard to keep the tail up for a longer period of time. It is like a snake. That was the info I needed. Thanks. My vet will not allow you to do IV. In my opinion it is easier on a horse for me to do IV. I haven't had much luck on cattle. Now I know why. I don't go in at enough of an angle. I also wanted to know how ya'll give fluids. Under the skin is one thing. I can tell you that it sure makes a faster improvement iv vs. under the skin. Had to do it last night. I didn't know that you could give Vit. B iv. Thats good to know in an emergency case. Always seem to add dextrose to my ringers. Thanks, Double R P.S. I don't know if it has been touch here but some have asked me in the past what milk fever is. Can you explain? Thanks [/QUOTE]
