[QUOTE="TexasBred, post: 1360273, member: 6897"] I always put the IV in the milk vein simply because it is easier to use. First thing I encourage everyone to do after purchasing and IV set is to throw away the huge needle that comes with it and use a 16 gauge 1 inch needle instead. This will slow down the flow rate of the CMPK or whatever other solution you might be using lessening any chance for reactions. I then follow up with dextrose solution. I never give it under the skin as it is simply to slow and cattle can die from milk fever very quickly. I've seen them walk out of a dairy barn after a milking and collapse and die within a very few minutes. [/QUOTE]
