Giving my horse Jack a Shot

My horse Jack gets an Adequan shot once a month for his calcium deposit. My vet showed me how to give it to him so they wouldn't have to come to our house very month so he could reseave his shot.

Go to my Website to see the steps to giving a horse a shot.

Next time just draw back before applying the medicine, you could have been in a vessle there..

the vet showed me how to put the shot in, and he said just poke it in real fast and inject the medicine then take it out. he never said to pull back or anything.

OMG your horse is so calm! My Horse would of had a huge flip out!!! and I have the same lead rope as you!

@HorsesWithAmie Loola29 is correct. with subq or im injectiosn you want to aspirate(slightly pull back once the needle is in to make sure no blood enters the syringe)the reason for this is that if you inject the medicine into a blood vessle there is a much higher chance that the animal will have a bad reaction because its entering its body too fast through the bloodstream.Most times you are not in a vessle but its always safe to check,it only takes an extra second, good job though! Nice horse
