i have never heard of giving a shot in the throat.
new one for me. maybe he was doing it near her shoulder and from your husband's
viewpoint(perhaps on other side of cat) it looked like the neck? i'll have
to google that procedure
I don't know how exactly vitamin B is administered, but, if it is put into the vien, the vet was certainly shooting for the jugular vien. Many vets will bypass the veins in a cats leg...too hard to find esp. on senior cats the jugular vien is located on the right side of the throat.Kathy
Dear Cherie:
You need to keep in mind that with antibiotics, one size doesn't fit all.
Different antibiotics are indicated for different types of infections,
depending
on whether you are dealing with gram-negative or gram-posoitive bacteria, and
some abx seem to be more indicated for
Dear Kathy:
Can't think of what kind of injection would be given in the throat as even
most IV injections are given in a leg vein as a first choice. I've had vets
draw blood from the juglar vein in the neck on occasion, but it is my
understanding that Vit.B injections are given subQ, so that
Sally,
Thanks for the info...I am a newer kid on the block, I am not sure why my vet likes Baytril, but every time my positive kitty gets sick that is what clears it up, we only do half a pill though.

Well, Killian defineltly had a needle on the right side of her throat BUT it could very well be that she had blood drawn from that area because I know that she had bloodwork done. The area is shaved! I will have to ask my husband when he gets home if she had her Vitamin B shot there or blood drawn
could be cephalexin (sp.,?). also, when my sister was pregnant she got her husband to do litterbox duty and voila!! They got a new littermaid!!!

The only time my vet gets a needle near the neck is when they're drawing
blood or giving meds directly in a vein. Generally, Vit. B is given in the
butt (by my vets, anyway), and usually with other things - like an antibiotic or
steroid to boost the effects. She may not have been due
My guess would have been that he/she drew blood from the neck, otherwise it
wouldn't have been shaved; and gave your husband some clavamox (needs
refrigeration; clindamycin doesn't). Clavamox is so commonly given. And I
usually give B-12 shots under the skin at the back of the neck, sort of.
