[QUOTE="3MR, post: 405791, member: 4180"] you need to read the label on what your are administering. Some can only be given one way or the other, some can be given either way. If you have a choic always go subcutaneous. This means under the skin, but not in the muscle. Intramuscular means in the muscle. Giving a shot in the muscle can cause scaring that will have to be cut out when processed. This is also why you should give the shot in the neck rather than the rump. Much less chance or ruining a quality cut of meat. As far as tenting. If you are going to tent when giving the shot. Place your fingers with the syringe directly below the fingers tenting the hide and insert the needle in a direction away from them. This will prevent accidently shooting through both layers of skin and wasting the syrum as well as the possibility of sticking yourself. Personally, I am going to try the method Bez posted. Anything that will speed up the operation is something I am going to try. [/QUOTE]
