[QUOTE="msscamp, post: 522246, member: 539"] The higher the gauge, the smaller the bore, the harder it is to inject thicker medications such as penicillin. We rarely used a needle longer than 1/2" - less tendency to bend/break on tough skinned animals and, if you're a tenter, it's harder to go all the way through when injecting subq. 18 gauge for thinner medications/vaccinations, 14 or 16 for penicillin. Just what worked for us. [/QUOTE]
