Rules for the implementation of intramuscular injection

For those who do not know, an injection and injection of concepts are similar to each other, that is, these are synonyms, so, the injection is called the introduction of any medicinal product under the skin. Before proceeding with this very simple procedure, the owner of the animal is obliged to familiarize himself with the instruction of the drug and other nuances of the process itself.

You can neglected by these rules, not even take into account them and take the dog to the vet, but sometimes the injection is required in an urgent order and time somewhere will not take the animal, and it is in these cases that the skills of the correct injection will be very useful.

The basic rules that everyone should remember who decided to make their dog injection:

• First of all, you need to remember about sterility (hand processing, place of injection, syringe, etc.). This is a very important point, because, sometimes, it is from this factor that the continued state of the health of the dog will depend on.
• Clearly observe the dosage of the drug. Read carefully instructions, calculate the dose of the medicine in the weight of the animal, etc. It is also impossible to neglect this factor, because even life sometimes depends on the correctness of calculating the dosage of the injected drug.
• The drugs can be introduced intramuscularly or subcutaneously, in the first case, it is necessary to prick in the muscle, in the second - simply under the skin (usually in the Hellee of the dog).
• You need to choose the syringe too correctly. First of all, he must be sterile, as well as selected in the size of the animal (this is very important). Dogs can be of different sizes and weights, so that for animals, the mass of which does not exceed 12 kg, the syringes are "insulin" (their volume up to 1 ml), the needle diameter is minimal. For medium-sized dogs, a syringe of 2 ml is suitable. If the dog is large, then 5 cubic syringe is exactly what is needed, but in order not to injure very skin and reduce the painful sensations from the injection on this syringe to put the needle from the 2-cubic syringe, it is thinner, and in length are the same .
• It is impossible to touch the needle with his hands, and earlier open drugs can be used only within 24 hours.
• There should be no self-medication too, the drug must be appointed by a specialist.
• The syringe does not recommend mixing different medicines.

Intramuscular proc

Always believe the inscription on the bottle, the drug from which you are going to enter the dog. It does not rarely happen that the pharmacist confused and gave not a medicine, so it is better to check everything carefully and several times.

So, the rules of intramuscular injection:

• Ampoule bursts carefully. Do not think to open it with your hands, because there is a great probability to cut.
• The viewed type of injection implies the introduction of the drug into muscle tissues. The optimal option is to make an injection or hip.
• Before entering the drug in the selected place, it is necessary to check whether the muscle is not intense, because it is impossible to prick in too tight muscular fabric (it will hurt and not efficiently). Try to reassure the dog, intend, talk to her.
• In this case, the skin cover do not need to disinfect disinfect, because on their skin there is a layer of antibacterial type, so the only thing that needs to be taken into account is to be inflamed.
• The needle must be disinfected, and then touch it with his hands or laying anywhere without a cap.
• It is impossible to enter the cold drug, or heales it already in the syringe (rubbing it with both hands), or wait until it acquires the ambient temperature.
• You should not think that it is possible to make an injection in the thigh into any of its point (the needles in the muscles trunks can paralyze them for a while, and it is very painful).

The process of conducting intramuscular injection consists of several parts:

• First you need to decide on the place where you will make a dog injection. Carefully study the thigh dogs so that there are no wounds and other inflammatory processes. Making sure the integrity of the skin, we find a femoral bone (for example, take the left paw of the animal).
• The ideal place for the injection is the point to the right of the bone of the hip (not to notice which it will be very difficult). This part of the thigh is considered the most massive and looks like it. The injection site should be soft and relaxed, and if you feel the point where the muscle is stretched - it is not necessary to prick there.
• Do not stand in front of the animal to gain medicine in the syringe and call him to himself - it scares the dog and it will be difficult to calm her, so it is necessary to do it before you come to the animal. Among other things, a frightened animal has all the muscles intensity, which means that the process of administration will be complicated.
• If the dog is big, it is better to call an assistant to keep the dog it was easier. You need to enter a drug slowly, not in a hurry, carefully choosing a place for this.

You must understand that the dam for the dog is a very important process. No matter how trivial it seemed to you, so come to his preparation carefully so that this process does not scare your animal.
