[QUOTE="Running Arrow Bill, post: 521605, member: 9"] We use 16 guage X 1" for all of our vaccines & de-wormers. The 16 ga has a big enough hole so you can inject quickly. We also only inject SC (sub-cutaneously) and do not do any IM injections. Some animals are jumpy with vaccination sticking, others barely notice they have been stuck. Also helps to rub site before and after injection to help desensitize the site. Another note: We use disposable needles. Use a new one for each vaccine and each animal. Also use one disposable syringe for each formulation and discard the syringe after working that group that day. We pay about .19 cents for each needle buying them in boxes of 100 from online Vet supply houses. [/QUOTE]
