CD/T injection ?

[cmjust0]

C/D-T is pretty watery, so I like a 3/4" or 1" x 22ga. The guage of needle you use really shouldn't be so much about the size of the animal as much as the viscosity of the med. Here, watery stuff gets a 22ga.. If it's oily (Bo-Se, Ivomec, etc), I like a 20ga or maybe an 18ga, depending on how oily it is. If it's a suspension (PenG, Excenel, etc) it gets an 18ga.

Poking baby kids with 18ga needles isn't fun, but hey...ya do whatcha gotta do sometimes.

I use a 20 gauge needle for just about everything. The thick stuff I use an 18 gauge. Keeps it simple.

I use a 20 gauge, too, for just about everything. I gave a CD/T to one of my pregnant mini does today and used a 20 gauge. Just tent the skin up and shoot it in where you pinched. She didn't even act like I'd done anything.

I used to use a 22 for liquidy stuff, until I actually bent a needle on my buck's skin. Then he ran away with the needle/syringe still hanging out. Not good. lol.
