an IM injection is alittle different then a sub-q injection. when your giving a sub-q injection you really don't have to worry about hitting something your not suppose to. With an IM injection you need to make sure your giving it in an area where you will not hit a vein or artery. I give these injections in the left side of the thigh in the meaty part. never give it in the middle of the thigh, you may hit an artery. You can also give it in the back. Your vet will show you how to do it. This type of injection hurts more then a sub-q one so when you are starting out you will most likely need another person to help you by holding Bella.
