Re: [RC] Spring Shots - Heidi Smith

>My vet showed me how to give shots and I can give an excellent neck shot.  I use the neck because, when I tried the butt, I actually bent the needle!!!!  Tougher hide back there.  That's probably why so many of us nonprofessionals use the neck.

How "excellent" you can give the injection does not change the anatomy of the area, nor the laws of physics about ventral drainage.  As I stated in my post, if the butt doesn't work for you, go to the pectorals.  (That's what I use when I'm by myself, or concerned that a horse might kick.)
