What are some uses for ID route?

In horses,ID medicine administration is performed during treatment of sarcoid (tumor condition affecting the skin of horses). Intradermal injection technique is to test for tuberculosis in the cow; the injection is made in the caudal skinfold.

wher are injections usually done on porcine?

cervical neck muscles juct caudal and ventral to the ear ( 5-10 ml adults 1-2 piglets 20-16guage)

Bovine Tuberculosis (TB

is an infectious disease of cattle. It is caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium bovis (M. bovis) which can also infect and cause disease in many other mammals including humans, deer, goats, pigs, cats, dogs and badgers. In cattle, it is mainly a respiratory disease but clinical signs are rare

The loose skin caudal to the ear is used for SC injection in

large pigs

sc route is absorbed less rapidly than__________ and ____________ but more rapidly than _____________.

less rapidly than IV or IM and more rapidly than orally and intradermally (f a substance into the dermis, which is located between the epidermis and the hypodermis)

IM if absorbed faster than _____________ but slower than_______________.

faster than slower than IV

Semimembranosus/Semitendinosus muscles in horse

muscles (caudal aspect of hind limb) - care must be taken to avoid the sciatic nerve, for up to 15 mL of fluid in one spot, 18-9-gauge needle

When IM the Semimembranosus/Semitendinosus muscles (caudal aspect of hind limb) - care must be taken to avoid the

sciatic nerve

Lateral cervical muscles in horse

(neck muscles) - most common, for injection of up to 10 mL, 18-22-gauge needle Choose a spot in the triangular space that is bordered dorsally by the nuchal ligament , ventrally by the cervical vertebrae and caudad about one hand width in front of the cranial border of the scapula.

What is the most that you can inject in a bovine at one time?

10 ml

What size needle is good for sheep and goats?

18-20 x 1 inch ( 20-22 guage x 1 in lambs and kids)

What size needle is used in the Semimembranosus/Semitendinosus muscles in horse?

18-9-gauge needle

Brucella vaccine

Brucellosis is a bacterial infection that affects thousands of people worldwide. Avoiding unpasteurized dairy products and taking precautions when working with animals or in a laboratory can help prevent brucellosis. Symptoms may include joint and muscle pain, fever, weight loss, and fatigue. Some people develop belly pain and cough. when injecting this vaccine skin should not be tented t prevent no drug us accidentally injected into staff

What muscles are not used in Ovine,and Caprine?

For those used for meat production, the neck and shoulder muscles aren't used for IM injection. (semitendinosus semimembranosus and shoulder muscles should not be used)

Where are the IM injections normally done in Porcine?

IM injection in pigs is typically done in the neck muscles caudal, and ventral to the ear.

what are the locations for IM medication administration are used in horses?

Lateral cervical muscles (neck muscles), Semimembranosus/Semitendinosus muscles (caudal aspect of hind limb), Pectoral (chest) muscles and Gluteal muscles - located high on the rear limb https://www.slideshare.net/vbaburajput/injection-techniques-in-equines-and-canines

What muscled do you not inject for Bovines?

Semi-membranosus/semi-tendinosus, shoulder and gluteal IM injection is discouraged for cattle in the meat industry due to the muscle damage that can occur.

What muscles are appropriate for Im injection in Ovine, and Caprine?

The gluteal muscles and triceps are acceptable for small volumes. ( small muscle masses)

Where do you preform a IM injection if you have to on a bovine?

The neck muscles are used if absolutely necessary.

Camelids

The semimembranosus, and semitendinosus muscles can be used, but the neck is avoided due to the pain it causes in these animals. The preferred route of medication administration is the subcutaneous (SC) route

What size needle would you use in inject into a porcine and how much?

The volume that can be injected in this location is 5 to 10 mL. A 1.5-inch needle is usually needed due to the fat content over the muscle of pigs and tough skin.

Subcutaneous injections

can be performed in any location that permits sufficient lifting and tenting of the skin. As in small animals, SC injections are achieved by injecting medications underneath the skin.The skin is pulled away from the body, and injection is done at the base of the tented skin.

What is the axillary region?

he axilla is the name given to an area that lies underneath the glenohumeral joint, at the junction of the upper limb and the thorax. It is a passageway by which neurovascular and muscular structures can enter and leave the upper limb.

intradermal (ID) route

injection of medication between the dermis and epidermis of the skin. This is done more for diagnostic skin allergy testing, and to apply local anesthetics. The same procedure is used as in small animals to perform an ID injection.

The flank or latus

is the side of the body between the rib cage and the iliac bone of the hip (below the rib cage and above the ilium). It is sometimes called the lumbar region.

Gluteal muscles in horse

located high on the rear limb, accommodates large volumes and repeated injection. However, it's not often the area chosen for IM injections because it's very difficult to detect complications in that area, such as inflammation, or abscess formation.

Pectoral (chest) muscles in horse

not ideal for repeated injections or large volumes. Depending on the use of the horse, this may not be a preferred site aesthetically. (18-20 x 1 to 1.5 needle)

Sarcoids in horses

the most common skin tumor of horses, are believed to be caused by the bovine papilloma virus. They can be treated with chemotherapy drugs, such as cisplatin, or removed surgically or with lasers.

Name some therapeutic agents given sq

vaccines, local anesthetics, fluid therapy, (less likely adverse reactions at injection site)
