Can you inject antibiotics into a baby horse?
The short answer is no. Foals generally don't need antibiotics, and their organs are immature so giving antibiotics unless absolutely necessary can kill them. Also, unlike on mature horses, foals have relatively sparse muscle mass to inject antibiotics into, so there is very little room for error in administering the shot. A veterinarian may inject antibiotics into a foal if there is a severe bacterial infection that is threatening the life of the foal. However, this will likely be an intravenous injection, and these are not commonly done due to the potential for fatal complications.
