I've lurked on Ridecamp for some time, and I really appreciate
all of the shared information.
I have a couple questions about IM injections of Adequan. I'd love to
hear from anyone who has done the 28-day series of 7 IM injections of
Adequan, or some sort of a series of multiple injections? My vet
recommended that I inject my mare with the 5 mL of Adequan in the top of
the rump. I've given many, many IM injections in the neck, and I'm
comfortable with that site, but I've heard horror stories of abscesses, muscle
degeneration, etc. from giving injections in the top of the rump
muscles. When I questioned my vet he said, "...just make sure you
get it deep and press and rub it afterwards." Now I've
started wondering about the best site to give the injections.
So, my question is, has anyone successfully given IM Adequan
injections in the neck, switching sides? I'm hoping that that site will be
okay. Does anyone successfully give them in the rump? Or the muscles
alongside of the tail? Has anyone had problems with any
particular IM injection site for Adequan?
