Topic:Intramuscular Administration

Intramuscular administration in horses involves the injection of medications directly into the muscle tissue. This method is commonly used for delivering vaccines, antibiotics, and other therapeutic agents. The technique requires knowledge of equine anatomy to ensure the injection is placed in the correct location, such as the neck or hindquarters, to minimize discomfort and avoid complications. Proper intramuscular administration can facilitate the absorption of medications into the bloodstream, allowing for effective therapeutic interventions. This page compiles peer-reviewed research studies and scholarly articles that explore the techniques, benefits, and potential complications associated with intramuscular administration in equine practice.

Hierholzer JC, Gamble WC, Quist KD, Chappell WA.Horses were immunized by a variety of inoculation procedures designed to determine the most efficient method of producing antisera to adenovirus types 25 to 31. The procedures evaluated included immunization by (i) direct intravenous (iv) injection, (ii) iv infusion, (iii) intramuscular (im) injection of virus with and without Freund's incomplete adjuvant, (iv) combined iv and im injections, and (v) combined iv infusion and im injection. The im schedule (no. 3) was superior to the others in terms of immunizing antigen and time required, and hemagglutination-inhibition (HI) and serum-neutralizi...

Fifteen horses harboring naturally acquired, patent Parascaris equorum and Oxyuris equi infections were equally allotted to 3 treatment groups given (1) injectable vehicle; (2) injectable ivermectin at the dose rate of 200 microgram/kg of body weight; and (3) injectable ivermectin at the rate of 300 microgram/kg. All treatments were given IM in the neck. All animals were killed 14 days after treatment and examined for the targeted nematodes. Regardless of dose rate, ivermectin proved 100% effective in the removal of adult O equi and P equorum infections. Levels of immature P equorum were decre...
