Is it sub q or im ? IM the best place is in the rear leg muscle .Sub q I usually do the back of the neck where there is alot of skin .Read the bottle and see how often to dose.Go to saanendoah.com {hope thats right}and check there site out .Great info on meds and hopefully pictures on how to give them.

LA200 really stings, so don't be suprised if she really reacts to it. There are a couple of different products that do not sting, names slip my mind now but I know someone else will come on that knows them.

I hope your baby is ok. The only place to give any antibiotic shot is IM or in the large muscle of the rear leg. Make sure you do not hit the bone. It does not need to go in far. Rub the spot and thump it a bit then stick it and thump and rub more when you pull the needle out. This is a 2 person procedure. Hold the baby down, this will make her go ballistic. But she must be immobile. A broken needle will only make matters much worse. Good luck! Cindy

Read saanendoah.com on the dosage, but also read that all over the counter antibiotics can be given under the skin in goats! If you haven't already purchased the LA200, Tylan 200, Biomyacin or Oxytet 200 are all much better choices. Vicki

Simply couldn't let this go with someone or a vet telling you pnemonia and use LA200. Who told you it was pnemonia. How did they explain the stools not being normal before she got sick? Just curious. Vicki the skeptic :)
