Injecting Your Horse (intra-muscular)

How to administer an intra-muscular injection to your horse. This was performed on my criollo horse in Panama. A typical adult criollo horse weighs 400kg, they are much smaller than european horses. If you have never given your horse an injection, check with your vet first as sometimes the animal can have an allergic reaction to certain medicine which could result in death.

He means well, but as hamuska points out the cervical vertebrae are not where our friend thinks they are. Maybe he missed anatomy 101!
