[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 15647"] T.D., cows have muscles all over their body, just like humans. Just because the rump is big, doesn't mean it's the place a shot needs to be given. LA200 is approved for sub cue administration. It should be given under the skin. Any medication that is recommended to be given intramuscularly needs to be given in a specific area of the neck muscle. The drug manufacturers have been working to change their formulas and testing to allow as many injections as possible to be given sub cue. The instructions given by the manufacturer or the veterinarian need to be followed. A shot in the muscle is absorbed at a different rate than a shot under the skin is. This can affect how well the medication works. It's hard to get the word out to everyone as to how and where shots should be given, but the manufacturers, veterinarians, and processors have been trying to educate the public about this subject for several years now. > Maybe some one can tell us for > sure,but I beleive antibiotic > shots have to,are need to be given > in the muscle to be effective,and > I beleive it is to be given in the > rump.
