Location: IL		I have been giving IM, my one mare had no issues and she's gotten 4 IM injections.  My other mare had 2 slight reactions, but I don't think I have the needle deep enough.  She kept moving on me, so the last 2 IM shots my husband kept her distracted and I was able to keep the needle up to the hub and she had no more reactions. Mske sure you have atleast a 1 1/2" long needle and when you give the shot the needle is deep all the way to the hub. And always don't reuse needles and if you drop one, get another.

 If the directions say IV then why do you all give it IM..? because someone said they have ? if it says both then no worries but if it states IV id not do it IM . just because others have..

Because the first time I bought it, the directions said IM, and I haven't looked again. I have given 6 shots out of this current bottle now, all IM, and had one reaction. I may go on and start doing IV since the label apparently changed. Except on my dog--I don't know how to hit a vein on a dog.

I have been giving it IM for years, and honestly I read the direction once when I got my first bottle and haven't looked since. Just on the basis that I have been ordering the same exact stuff for a few years now and from the same compounding pharmacy. Hmm, I'll have to look tonight when I get home.

Location: Louisiana		 My vet was of the opinion that if my horses have been fine IM the whole time, that I could still give it IM. He said there are other meds out there where they're advised to give IV, but he said they're fine IM for most animals.
