This post applies to cattle as well.

Ever wondered about the different ways medications are given to our feline friends? 🐾 Understanding these can help you better grasp your vet's instructions!

Subcutaneous (Sub-Q): This is a very common method for cats! Medications are given just under the skin into the fatty layer. Think of it for vaccines, fluids, and some long-acting medications. Absorption is slower, which can be beneficial for sustained release.

Intramuscular (IM): When a medication needs to act more quickly or a larger volume is required, your vet might administer it deep into a muscle. This allows for faster absorption due to the rich blood supply.

Intravenous (IV): For emergencies, critical care, or when immediate effects are needed, IV administration directly into a vein is used. This is the fastest way to get medication or fluids throughout your cat's body.

Intradermal (ID): While less common for routine medication in cats, this method involves injecting just under the skin's surface, often used for diagnostic tests like allergy testing.

Your vet will always choose the best and safest method for your cat's specific needs!

I really like Femco sprayers because almost every replacement part is readily available.
I have a couple of different types of spayers that they make
I have had this sprayer for a long time and I have replaced a lot of different parts
Today I had to replace another part, but it was available on Amazon.
Amazon carries a lot of farm stuff that I cannot get locally
Plus I hate wasting 4 or 5 hours driving to different farm and hardware stores looking for stuff
I really did not want to spray my driveway today anyway.

Not for sale:
Tinney’s Major is 15 months old and will be staying with us for a while
I lost both of my herd sires last year after a terrible fight.
So I AI’d 13 momma cows two weeks ago and this morning he went in with the momma’s as this year’s “clean up bull”. I will pull him out of the herd on September 1st
He had a good soundness exam about a month ago, so he should be able to get the job done.
Once things calm down, I wil get some pictures with him with his herd.
Right now introductions are being made, dirt is being tossed, and a lot of manure is hitting the ground.
All normal stuff, but they are not interested in posing for pictures.
