[RC] Injections - smuncy

  Im ( intramuscular ) injections are generelly given with needle entering at a 90 degree angle. SQ, ( subcutaneous) injections are given with needle entering at 45 degree angle and then - yes, skin generally 'pinched up' a bit - more so with dogs. Can think of rare instance to give SQ injection to horse.??  Actually have not given any SQ to horses, though suppose possible.
 To note anyone not familair with giving injections to horse or aninimal  - should leave it to theire vet to do; can get into trouble -   smuncy
