I would recommend having your veterinarian demonstrate the technique if you are unsure of what you are doing. The easiest and safest muscle to inject into at home is the semitendinosus, which is the muscle that runs along the back of the hind leg, from the tail to the hock joint. Firmly grasp the the muscle belly (about halfway down the leg) and swiftly but smoothly insert the needle into the muscle. Pull back on the syringe plunger and make sure you don't get air or blood back in the needle; if nothing shows up, inject the medication.
