I have been wary about it, but my vet assured me that if it is safe IV it will be safe sub-q, only potentially not as effective. Humans do not take things sub-q very well-- we do not have the same kind of skin or the same space between our skin and under-layers. Several others on this list have given I-R sub-q without any bad reaction at all, and I assume without pain since they said it works fine. Lucy gets really stressed about going to the vet for the IV shots (she hates the car), which is why I asked the vet about giving them sub-q. Michelle In a message dated 11/16/2006 6:30:24 P.M.

I'd recheck that with the manufacturer before giving it Sub-Q, it seems I recall it being said it is NOT meant to be given sub-q, and MUST be IV. I'd hate for her to have her skin start to slough off or something else horrible due to using I-R off label!!!
