He certainly keeps me entertained. And he has definitely lived up to his name." Loved that last bit.

I was under the impression that all IM injections all carry a risk of a clostridium bacteria abcess.<br /><br />What I was wondering is the connection to banamine as opposed to the other regularly injected substances. I give monthly adequan injections for instance...<br /><br />According to <a href="http://www.thehorse.com/ViewArticle.aspx?ID=6466" rel="nofollow">thehorse.com</a>, the correlation to banamine is that it is given more frequently, and in higher volumes per dose (10ml), which causes irritation to the tissues.<br /><br />I wonder if splitting the dose into two 5ml shots would be less risk. Guess I'll have to learn how to give IV injections.<br /><br />Thanks again for the warning :)Calm, Forward, Straighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08360276614916635500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4380534023229200743.post-3417292371671018542011-01-18T13:33:51.109-07:002011-01-18T13:33:51.109-07:00LOL at the visual of beating pasturemate's hea...LOL at the visual of beating pasturemate's head with stolen jolly ball!!nagonmomnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4380534023229200743.post-70117483239422048482011-01-18T08:59:39.475-07:002011-01-18T08:59:39.475-07:00I can't even tell you how many banamine inject...I can't even tell you how many banamine injections I've given IM. That's what my vets told me to do. Now, I work for a large equine vet in another state, and they are telling me to only do it IV or oral. I'm just glad I heard about this BEFORE I caused a problem.<br /><br />Sounds like Laz was a lucky guy to be with you. It's amazing how the hard to deal with ones are the horses that seem to win our hearts.Julihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13658636266120304775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4380534023229200743.post-34396940120090773642011-01-18T08:11:29.389-07:002011-01-18T08:11:29.389-07:00Great story Autumn!

The main danger here is the clostridium bacteria. It lives on the skin, gets pushed into the muscle with the needle, and then rapidly multiplies and creates "gas gangrene". Do a google search on "Banamine IM injections" and you'll find some horror stories!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13642264608603783244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4380534023229200743.post-82573009840935769722011-01-17T18:23:36.129-07:002011-01-17T18:23:36.129-07:00Great story!

Its scary how many horse owners and even vets don't know what kind of reaction it can cause! The saddest part of the story is I actually had Banamine paste in my first aid kit. The barn owners just didn't remember, my horse was down thrashing and trying to roll, and they did what they thought was best...Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13642264608603783244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4380534023229200743.post-12823289800158878472011-01-17T17:24:33.973-07:002011-01-17T17:24:33.973-07:00Wonderful story.

If you can't give it IV, then please just give it orally. It absorbs through the gums. Don't ever chance Banamine IM. It just isn't worth it.

And for the rest...here's a few shots of Laz, "The horse with 9 lives" http://s86.photobucket.com/albums/k112/weaselstar/<br /><br />On a slightly sadder note, I am currently searching for a light riding/companion home for Laz. Supplements and injections are no longer keeping him sound enough to enjoy his job. Of couse, I plan on keeping him safe and sound with me until I find the right home. So if anyone in the upstate NY area is looking for a big ridiculous lovable, (but slightly accident prone) friend, be sure to send them my way!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13642264608603783244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4380534023229200743.post-91200396930020618232011-01-17T13:02:29.808-07:002011-01-17T13:02:29.808-07:00Great story!
