Best Answer

Rat IP injections should be done by trained personnel only. You could potentially hurt yourself or the animal should you attempt this without the proper training. There are vital organs within the rat's abdomen that could be seriously injured, and needlestick injury is a common incidence when performing this procedure.

Having said that, the best location for an IP injection in the rat is the lower right quadrant. This area decreases the probability that the needle would puncture the liver, bladder, cecum or other organ.
