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.

Yes, a subcutaneous injection is administered into the layer of fat located just below the skin. This route of administration allows for slower absorption compared to intramuscular injections. Subcutaneous injections are commonly used for medications such as insulin and certain vaccines.
There really isn't a limit to the number of subcutaneous or intramuscular injections you can get. It can, however, be difficult to find a good vein for more than a couple of intravenous injections.
The four main types of injections are intramuscular (IM), subcutaneous (SC or SQ), intravenous (IV), and intradermal (ID). Intramuscular injections deliver medication deep into the muscle, subcutaneous injections administer it into the fatty tissue just under the skin, intravenous injections provide immediate effects by delivering drugs directly into the bloodstream, and intradermal injections are given into the dermis layer of the skin, often for allergy tests or vaccinations. Each type is used based on the medication's properties and the desired speed of absorption.
Subcutaneous refers to something situated or occurring beneath the skin. It is commonly used to describe injections or medications that are administered just below the skin's surface.
The recommended guidelines for administering subcutaneous injections to cats include: Use a clean needle and syringe for each injection. Choose an appropriate injection site, typically the scruff of the neck or the flank area. Pinch the skin to create a tent-like area for injection. Insert the needle at a 45-degree angle and inject the medication slowly. Monitor the cat for any adverse reactions and dispose of used needles properly.
