Hello All
RE: Lumps from from injection sites.
In a long time of sticking needles in horses, Vaccinations, Antibiotics ,Tranquilizers, etc.
My experience is Zero with the above problems. I always prep the site of injection,
( alcohol swab patch or even right out of a bottle onto skin of animal. Best way is to "Flood" the injection site"
The only time I had a problem with SUB Q reactions was when a VET used a vaccine Sub Q that the bottle said to use IM.
In horses, They got Dinner plate size swelling on their necks at the injection site. Sore too.
I boosted all the boy's here with CDT Sub Q as recommended for goats but cleaned the sites well before injections.
No problems.
The neighbor were Fuzzy and no name came from (We still need a name for him) Has 2 with abscesses from getting their boosters. I have seen her method, and she dose not do any site prep, and uses the same needle for more than one goat. Oh well I can't make anybody do things what I consider Right.
