probably not much, but they need them either way
yes, he did. he got shot in the leg and fell off his horse, which was shot shortly after. He then was shot in the shoulder. he survived only by medicine and care.
Yes but your vet can give them a shot so they can't get it.
When you are getting the shot it just feels like a normal shot, it pinches a bit but it's fine. The shot doesn't hurt that much after you get it, it is just mostly sore. This could depend on how sensative your skin is though too. But on a scale of 1 to 10 on pain I would only give it a 4. You'll be fine, just don't think about it. :)
A good nurse will be able to give you a shot without pain or an ice pack.
The horse hurt its leg and came up lame.He had a lame excuse for why he missed our date.
You can give them the shot on the large muscle that runs down the neck or one of the large muscles on the horse's hindquarters. Always inject the strangles vaccine on the butt. It can make the horse's neck or face swell.
When a dog is hyper, there is really no shot you could give them. Just calm them down with a treat or some water. Let them sleep- that's the best thing to do! Don't hurt it with a shot.
Actually it is a little different than a shot. With a horse you want to completely sink the needle into the horse and pull the plunger slightly to ensure that there is no blood (because you don't want the penecillin going into the veins, only muscle) and if there is no blood push the plunger to inject the penecillin. If there is blood you need to pull out and start over. As for where, it has to be in a large muscle area such as the side of the neck or the rump. You also need to put it in a different area each time. The penecillin makes them sore and causes a lump at the injection site. How much depends on the weight of the horse. 1 ml for each 100 pounds of body weight. You can find this out by weight taping them. Also, you would give more if they seem to need it because of infection. However, you would not give it to them if they have no infection. Ensure that you are using clean, new needles each time. You can cause a secondary infection if you inject them with a dirty needle. And finally, you would give it to them for at least one week but no more than two. If you do not continue with giving it to them the same time each day you would be doing this for nothing. For major infections you would dose 2 times a day for one or two days and then once per day. Ensure you do not hit bone when injecting and your horse will get upset, especially with the full round of injections because they will know that what you are getting ready to do hurts. Do not attempt to hold the horse and give the horse the shot and unless they are really unfazed by previous shots, do not tie them to give them the shot because they could rear or pull and hurt you, themselves, and/or tear down what you have them tied to.
For me, they did not hurt.
It would hurt. A lot. Really.
Horses are vaccinated with a tetanus toxoid that is marketed for use in horses.
Black Beautys brother was a famouse hunting horse that was shot and killed when he hurt his leg hunting. His name was Ron Roy.
