One milliliter (5 ml in each teaspoon) has 2.5 milligrams so be very careful. This wouldn't prevent pain just allergic reactions. I always give in the scruff of the neck wondering if giving in the leg causes more pain. I don't give the bordatella so not sure about that one. |
Most vets now do vaccine mapping where it either goes in a front shoulder or a back hip.
