What is scale for injections for kittens or How much antibiotic is given in injection to 7 week old kittens?
NONE! No injections should be given of anything to any kitten (or any other animal) unless you are a veterinarian or veterinary technician. If a 7 week old kitten needs an antibiotic for a bacterial infection, it is always administered orally, with pills or liquid, unless the kitten is critical and needs intravenous antibiotic treatment. You also need to know what kind of bacteria the kitten is infected with to be aware of which antibiotic to use. As our society is realizing the medical over-use of antibiotics in humans, which has caused the creation of "smart" bacteria as well as the mutation of some, veterinarians are also being more conscientious in the administration of antibiotics. It is highly recommended that you take your kitten to the veterinarian if you have not done so yet.
I to would like to know the dosage to give kittens just in case. I am not a vet, nor a vet tech. I'm a farmer. As a farmer I give shots to my goats, sheep, cows, etc. This is standard procedure. If every small farmer had to call a vet every time an animal needed a vaccine, booster shot, etc. we would soon all be out of business. I get very frustrated with the TAKE IT TO THE VET answer. Everyone assumes we all live within minutes of a 24/7 vet. The reality is a lot of us don't live within 2-3 hours of a vet and that vet is only open 3 days a week. As for kittens you can by oral broad spectrum antibiotics at your local farm store (Tractor Supply, Southern States, Farm & Fleet). They give the dosage for kittens. Hope this helps.

What type of injection is given when a large amount of medication must be given into a muscle?
an injection into the muscle is called a Intramuscular injection or IM injection for short. These are the safest types of injections for people who are not certified to work with animals to give.
What is the differences between vaccine and injections?
Injections are given for treatment while vaccines are given to produce antbodies to protect the recipients from specific diseases
What is the cpt codes Cortisone injection?
Cortisone injections are most often given in the joints to help combat inflammation. The CPT code for cortisone injections is 20610.
Why streptomycin given IV in abdominal tuberculosis as Injection not oral give reason?
Streptomycin is only available as injections and therefore cannot be given orally
How any injections are given for typhoid patients?
Injection ceftriaxone is most commonly used via intravenous route only.
Why insulin injection is not given at the same site always?
Insulin injections are not given at the same site consistently to prevent lipodystrophy, which is the buildup of fat or scar tissue at the injection site that can affect insulin absorption. Rotating injection sites helps ensure consistent absorption and effectiveness of insulin. Additionally, using different areas of the body can reduce discomfort and the risk of developing complications associated with repeated injections in the same location.
What is the difference between injection and syringe?
An injection is a method of delivering medication or fluids into the body, while a syringe is a tool used to administer injections by drawing or dispensing fluids. Injections can be given using various methods, such as with a syringe or through an IV drip.
Which type of injection is given into the aqueous muscle tissue?
The type of injection given into the aqueous muscle tissue is an intramuscular injection (IM). This method delivers medication directly into the muscle, allowing for faster absorption into the bloodstream. Common sites for intramuscular injections include the deltoid, gluteus maximus, and vastus lateralis muscles.
Where do you give a sub q injection?
Sub q injection is a shortening of subcutaneous injection. Subcutaneous injections are given into the subcutaneous tissue which is the layer of tissue just under the skin - between the skin and the muscle. The most common areas of the body to give a subcutaneous injection are the abdomen, thigh, lower back and upper arm.
Can a subcutaneous injection be given in the vastus lateralis?
Yes, a subcutaneous injection can be given in the vastus lateralis, which is a muscle located on the outer part of the thigh. However, this site is typically used for intramuscular injections rather than subcutaneous ones. For subcutaneous injections, preferred sites include the abdomen, outer thigh, or upper arm, where there is more adipose tissue. It’s important to ensure proper technique and choose the right site for the type of injection being administered.
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 are most injectors inserted into?
Most injectors are inserted into muscle tissue (intramuscular injection), subcutaneous tissue (subcutaneous injection), or directly into the bloodstream (intravenous injection). The choice of injection site depends on the type of medication being administered and the desired absorption rate. Common sites for intramuscular injections include the deltoid muscle of the arm and the gluteal muscle, while subcutaneous injections are often given in the fatty tissue of the abdomen or thigh.
