Injections which are not made in a vein or a muscle but just under the skin are called?

Injections just under the skin, so that you can see the needle while the medication is injected, are referred to as Intradermal. The PPD test for tuberculosis is administered this way. Injections administered into the layer below the skin are called subcutaneous. Insulin is administered this way. Injections which deliver medicine into a muscle are referred to as Intramuscular. Most immunizations are given this way, as are most antibiotic injections. Injections which deliver medicine directly into the bloodstream are referred to as Intravenous.

What is the best way to treat your horse IV or MV?

The possible ways to inject a horse are IV (intravenous), IM (Intramuscular) and SQ (sub cutaneous) are often medication dependant. Most vaccines are designed to be given IM. Most tranquilizers and pain meds are given either IM or IV. Most antibiotics are given IM or SubQ...although certain types can be given IV. The instructions will indicate how any injection is to be given. Injections given improperly can result in injury or death


Why are intramuscular injections preferred?

Intramuscular injections are preffered for delivery of many medications as it is the fastest and simplest way to infect drugs. Adrenaline (epinephrine to the yanks) is the classic example given during anaphalctic shock. Here a fast delivery of the drug is key and so waiting for a trained expert to be found would take too long. Intramuscular inveftion can be given by anyone simply by finding a large muscle (often the gluteus maximus) and injecting it, that simple. The next most simple is subcutaneous. This is again fairy simple but requires being shown how to perform and is a common mode of insulin injection in diabetics. Finally intravenous is the third form of injection but this requires finding a vein which takes some degree of skill and training.
